You are half right.
Critical Thought claims this guy's rifle is a weapon and he bought it to KILL

and he claims that 5 time olympic medalist Kim Rhode (who set the WR and won the gold medal a few months ago) bought her Perazzi to KILL

A gun is a weapon. It is, by its very nature, an instrument of violence. If you want one, then you want if for its capacity to inflict violence. Whether it is for hunting or defense, you own it for its ability to create violence when needed. It is naive to assume that a person would want a gun for any other reason.
This goes in the list of moronic babblings about guns. that is as stupid as saying fencers buy foils to skewer people.
YOu pretty much proved your posts are not to be taken seriously with that idiocy. the purpose of a rifle is to place a bullet accurately on a target. for some people that might mean a human. to some that might mean an animal, and to many others it might mean a steel gong or a piece of paper. your claim is dismissed as idiocy
Could you point out where in any of my posts I made such a claim.

Wow, the fact that you are so offended by the reality that a gun is a WEAPON is sad.
Utterly ridiculous. In fact, I have friends and family members, including my sister and her husband, who are into competitive shooting. No violence involved, unless you consider shooting targets on hay bales violent.

Good for them. Now how does that have relevance to what I said?
He was proving that idiotic statement of yours wrong. target shooting does NOT CREATE VIOLENCEA gun is a weapon. It is, by its very nature, an instrument of violence.

The fact that you got that offended by the implication should probably tell you something.
You may buy a gun to use as a paperweight but that doesn't change what it is. How you use your gun doesn't change its capacity to inflict violence or kill. No matter how badly you want to pretend it isn't true, a gun is a WEAPON.

Oh good lord. It causes damage at a distance. That is, by definition, a form of violence.

You're the one arguing that gun owners only want guns because they are capable of violence. You're just wrong.
He got caught posting something that is patently ridiculous and rather conceding his failure, he is trying to weasel out of it
Not really all that surprising though, is it?
I seldom use my tablespoons. I mostly use teaspoons. So, I have been considering turning all of them into awesome weapons."...its capacity..."
That's where the wheels came off the tracks. The firearm, by itself, has no capacity to do anything. It requires and operator and it is that operator that has intentions. For some reason you have decided to treat the firearm as if it has some kind of life of its own. A firearm is no different than a lawnmower or a tablespoon. It's a tool and nothing more. Anything and everything it "does" is wholly dependent on the person using it.

So are you actually saying that everyone who owns a gun wants to inflict violence on others or kill? I'm sure that most people who own a gun or guns for home defense are hopeful that they will never have to use them.
