This may seem a little trite, but guns don't actually kill, it's the
bullets ! Why don't we ban the sale of bullets or allow them only to
be obtained (in small amounts) from police stations from licensed gun
holders ?
I understand the conflict between personal rights and safety in
society. I can relate to people wanting to use guns for target
practice, but I cannot comprehend why people get a buzz out of
wounding, maiming and killing wild creatures for SPORT. How can the
aesthetics of sport - the desire to push the human body to its
physical and mental limits, be confused with creating pain and
destruction in our fellow planet inhabitants?
My small twopence worth.
