Vehicles are not purposed to kill, yet they do, and that is acceptable as long society benefits from vehicles.

I don't see any reason not to apply that same logic to guns.

Ok think of it this way.

Do you honestly think America would fall apart if all guns were removed from society?

Now were you take every motor vehicle out... in today's world, it would see us in the dark ages.

Not trying to be rude - just think about it.

I think you are presenting a false dichotomy.

Are either guns, or vehicles, the sole factors holding America together? I doubt it. So your question is misleading, but not rude.

The purpose of a vehicle, generally, is to transport someone, or something, from point A to point B.

And the purpose of a gun is to ignite a measured charge and send a projectile rapidly down and out of a barrel.

How those objectives are carried out, and the resulting consequences of any abuse or misjudgement, is completely up to, and is the responsibility of, the person controlling either device. That's my opinion.

LOL - as my wife always says, "it's all about definition."

As a dude who study's business - I would argue that yes, the purpose of a vehicle is to "transport someone, or something, from point A to point B." And that it is one of the biggest factors that is "holding America together" considering how we value capitalism, trade, and commerce.

It's all about definition but yeah, I would say that were you to take away guns we would be ok - take away vehicles, your world would be rocked!

EDIT
I mean seriously? How would you get your food? Your electricity, your ammo?

Depends on your definition of "Ok" and whether or not OK is good enough. OK?

That's only if you take away all of the guns too.
