Or how about this hunting knife? After all...you don't need to hunt right?

They are overpriced, but you could still cut things with them. they still have a lot more utility than a gun. You seem to not understand the argument. A gun can only be used to shoot things. A knife can be used for a variety of purposes, and most of which are non fatal and don't even involve hurting someone. You cannot do something other than shoot something with a gun. That is it's only purpose. That is the only thing it does well. How often do you need to do that, because i have never needed to.
Funny how you always talk about "need". Well...you don't NEED to talk either so how about we take away your right to free speech?
oh don't do the overreactionary rant where you stop thinking entirely. Actually, communication is important in life. It has helped us to do a lot of things as a species and may be one of the main reasons we rose above other animals. If it is a choice between a gun or communicating i think i will take communicating. However, it is noce to see you support taking away others rights when they disagree with you.
After all, speech can be used to start wars.
It is also used to end them. Oh, and interestingly enough you would not have modern guns without the collaboration of people through speech and communication.
How about your religion? You don't NEED that and so many wars have been started because of religion.
yes, but the wars are fought with guns, and oddly most religions supposedly teach killing is bad. If you thought about it that goes against the prime purpose of guns.
How about your car? You don't NEED a car...you have two feet after all. A car is a convience, not a "need".
A car has a lot more utility than a gun does. Are you really trying to tell us a car is as useful as a gun is? Do us a favor, ride your gun to work and see how far it gets you.
And you don't actually "Need" a knife. If you cook meat just right it will fall apart. The rest you can use your teeth for.
Have you ever tried to cook a cow or a deer in a stove? you need the knife to cut the big parts up. Seriously, turn the on switch back on in your brain. This is getting really bad.
See how rediculous your arguement sounds when it gets thrown back in your face?
When you do something aside from making absurd arguments that don't address mine I will be happy to tell you. Until then a gun has one use. Knives, languange, and cars have far more than one single use.
Just because some people think that you don't "need" something does not mean squat. Our rights are not based on "needs". They are based on fundemental inherant rights.
That is great, you have gone way down the road into a completely different argument. The argument you are avoiding because you know i am right is that knives are treated differently because they are far more useful and have more value to society on a whole than guns do. They do many more things for us than a gun can. This whole fundamental rights BS is just an avoidance of the fact that you know a gun has a singular purpose, and it really is not a great tool that would make a good argument for it to be allowed despite it's danger. knives are permitted because most people use them for a purpose every day. They are not pissing away ammo at targets to make their dick seem larger, they are doing things they need to do to live and survive. People live just fine every day without a gun, but your life would become a lot worse without knives.
People have a right to defend themselves against anyone and anything. Be it against other humans, bears, or the government. We have that Right. A right which you and others like you are trying to take away for very selfish reasons.
Yeah, and how many times have you used your gun to defend yourself in your life. How many people have you shot in self defense? The second question is how many times have you used a knife in the last week. I know which number is larger.
Is this one going to be good?
I do not have to justify my right to defend myself to you or anyone else. It is my right to defend myself and I would bet 1 million dollars that if you were in a situation where you were going to die if you did not use a gun then you would pick up that gun and defend yourself.
Again, it completely avoids the argument, and I didn't have to. yeah, i have been there, and I did not need a gun. However, i hate to think of how hard it would be to cook and eat without a knife.
However since you are trying to take away a right you damn well better come up with a better justification than "you don't NEED a gun".
Really, don't burst a blood vessel or anything. It is not your fault you cannot defend the utility of an object that is only meant to shoot things and do nothing else. It is just simply impossible to do. Most people who own guns will never shoot anything but targets with them. Most people with guns will never defend themselves with it. Most people with guns will never get the use they do out of a knife, or most other tools for that matter. A gun is something most people have and hope they never have to use it for it's purpose of killing things. A knife is something most people have because they know they will have a use for it. All your distractions and ranting aside, you simply cannot change that fact.
