Default Happy New Year! (12 year old boy hit by stray bullet - will likely be a vegetable if he lives)

Harry, you want to help me with my "Ban Mechanized Transportation"
movement. So many people are killed all over the world because of
Transportation Nuts and we must put a stop to it. The battle against
TN's is in its infancy but I'm sure if the right celebrities behind
it we can put a stop to deaths caused by Mechanized Transportation!

We need transport. It isnot designed to kill.
Guns are designed to kill, they have no other purpose. We don't need
them.
While they are about, stupid accidents occur and nutters are able to
commit mass murder.


Guns have no other purpose than killing? Absurd. I can think of a half-dozen
reasons for the existence of guns that do not involve killing other humans:

* Competitive shooting - Shooting IS an Olympic sport
* Hunting
* Historical and educational resource
* Investment
* Self defense
* Deterrence
* Orgasm assistance

and more


You forgot to mention- shooting the window out of a car in a raging
river-

"SALT LAKE CITY (AP) – Former police officer Chris Willden didn't
hesitate when he realized children were trapped in an upside down car
in an icy Utah river. He pulled his handgun, pushed it up against the
submerged windows and shot out the glass."
