[quote="BadShot"]If you keep a fire arm near your bed at night... if you carry one in your car (purely for transport reasons.. uh yeah... that's it) or even carry one on you and you are not ready able and willing to shoot to kill, then sell the weapon or better yet, just put it in the safe until you're ready to head to the range.

The fact of the matter is that fire arms have one single purpose, the killing of a living being.. and if you believe that it isn't then please for the sake of all around you, step away from the firearm. I will even, rather militantly, challenge anyone to dispute that rather fundimental fact of small arms.

thats not the point at all. the point was shoot because you HAVE to. NOT simply because you can.

there are more purposes rather than just killing people/animals. many guns are specifically made for recreation/competition and many would be horribly unfit for use as a weapon.
but yeah, i agree, for the most part they are made specificly for killing
