If guns should be outlawed because they cause crime should spoons be outlawed for making people fat?

Answer 1

Exactly, people who say that guns cause crime do not understand the point. You cant blame the medium people use (or abuse) to commit crimes. Just like you cant blame the internet for the spread of child pornography. The internet, as well as guns, do not do or cause anything. The people who use them as their tools cause the crimes.

That said, obviously these tools make committing these crimes a lot easier. Like the other answerer said, imagine trying to go on a rampage and killing a bunch of people with a knife.

As a society, we need to try to help people before they commit crimes. How we can do that is the real question.

Answer 2

Good grief! You're comparing a firearm to an eating utensil? Guns don't cause crime-it's certain people with the guns that commit crimes. And as far as spoons and "fat". Some people may have metabolic conditions or health issues that don't contribute to a healthy body mass index. I don't know of anyone who has told stories of the joys of Diabetes or a heart attack. Thyroid disease isn't too much fun either. Even-dare I say it? Cigarettes...there is someone who buys the cigarettes, lights the cigarettes and smokes the cigarettes-in knowledge of full disclosure of what smoking cigarettes will do over time. So, to answer your question, No.

Answer 3

I agree! I have a snub nose .38 on the night stand next to my bed, fully loaded, been keeping it there for years. Guess what....it has never once gone out and committed a crime while I was away from home!
Also have 3 vehicles out in the drive way, once in awhile forget and leave the keys in, and not once has it started up by itself and driven down the road and killed someone.
Gun control is about more that proper aiming, its responsibility, that trigger won't pull itself, takes a human to do it!
And before all you whiners start about "a child could find your gun on the night stand". My kids are all grown and don't live with me anymore, and if someone else's kids gets hold of my gun, WHAT WAS THE LITTLE HEATHEN DOING IN MY HOUSE?

Answer 4

Ain't no thing wrong with the "GUN". There are just some beautiful pieces made. It is not the gun that "cause crime."
And fat is good, need it, and I don't think a spoon is needed to get fat. Nothing wrong with fat. A free ask to only You - What do you think of the following? :> FAT IS GOOD, OBESE IS BAD. SLIM IS GOOD, ANOREXIA IS BAD.

Answer 5

Guns don't do anything unless people pull the trigger, they cause harm usually only when the person wants them to cause harm. Spoons don't make a person fat, certain kinds of food does, spoons are an aide to get people to eat the food which makes them fat. Spoons are actually alot more innocent too, unless you were to shove it down your throat. But I think I get your point and your question.

Answer 6

Couldn't agree more but you stopped short.

Cars cause drive-by shootings
Cars cause drunk drivers
Cars cause high speed chases
Cars cause hit and runs
HeII cars cause traffic accidents

Eliminate cars and all the problems go away. Oh yeah, that's what the Democrats want, Free Medical, only cops and criminals armed and you and me riding 3 hours on a bus to get to work.

Oh yeah, this could go on for a while.

Cheers from the right.

Hey, a serious question. When, not if, they finally kill the Second Amendment will you be more afraid of the criminal element or the cops???

Answer 7

in case you who think of this is humorous approximately Rosie O'Donnell's weight concern, then you definately should additionally make enjoyable of Oprah Winfrey, for an identical reason. even nevertheless Oprah has long gone to large lengths to handle her weight, the childhoods of the two, are very comparable. Please, enable us to offer up putting human beings down, with the aid of fact of lack of awareness, or a want to be hurtful. Too many, who've been sexually abused as infants, benefit weight into their person-hood, as a shielding degree, or supply up ingesting, with the aid of fact they think of they're fats (whilst they are not). some human beings, merely cope with it greater effective than others. Why do no longer we additionally smear Kristi best chum? and, others who've experienced weight problems? Why no longer merely contain all people who've a weight concern? As in Bulimia, Anorexia, and greater? ultimately, it is not weapons which kill human beings, this is the guy at the back of the GUN!

Answer 8

Yes. FYI I saw that on a sign at a recent gun show. Bare hands should be outlawed as well.

Answer 9

Thats the way our country is headed.

People are less and less willing to take responsibility for thier actions. THe only difference is that a gun would cause harm to others, whereas you being fat is only your problem.

Answer 10

Terrible analogy...for when guns are elminated no one can argue that murders will be reduced....obviously murder will not be eliminated because there are other ways to kill...but it will be hard to kill 33 people on a college campus with a knife.

But if you eliminate spoons I can still eat with my hands or a fork...and the foods you each with a spoon rarely make you fat.
