You state that a gun’s primary function is to kill, but rather, their primary function is to defend the owner and their basic rights. Indeed, self defense is the fundamental right, without which no one can dare challenge tyranny, and therefore cannot be free.
Without the capability to defend themselves, the colonists would not have defeated the British, and the USA would not exist. Personal arms allowed the founding fathers to defeat the british; that’s why it is the second essential right. Remove the right to bear arms, and you eliminate the power of the people to revolt; which is the sole source of their sovereignty.
As to your argument that we spend money on making cars safe, the fact is they aren’t. Like guns, they are a tool that when misused can become a weapon in a homicide. Furthermore, never did I say that I’m against restricting individuals with mental illness or violent felons from purchasing guns.
strange how countries without such a gun epidemic are not only safer, but also have more freedom... guess you ppl just don't know how to use them properly.
oh, and considering the equipment of modern armies (bombs, missiles, tanks, aircraft, drones...), your little dick replacements would obviously do nothing. in case you haven't noticed, it's not the 18th century anymore...
lastly, the fact that you can't even acknowledge blatantly obvious truths like the car industry spending loads of money to make cars safer (and again, the analogy is fallacious and retarded to begin with), just illustrates how entirely dishonest and irrational you are...
