For anyone who brings up the guns/primary use excuse for hating on guns, I give them the following example.

I own a Bow and Arrow set.

At 100 meters {or so} I'm pretty damned accurate {if I do say so myself} I'm not saying I could thread a needle or anything, but I could probably hit a man-sized object.

It's primary purpose is to kill. I use it for target shooting.

I have not killed anyone with it, and I have yet to hear of many {if any at all} deaths due to bow & arrow. Yet, there it is, If I were pushed I COULD use it to kill someone, it might be someone that the accusing person loves, it might not, I fail to see the difference.

Now, wanting to take away a Bow & arrow from a law abiding citizen seems pretty damned stupid, now doesn't it?
