Default Re: A fine reason to ban weapons

So, what's the reason?

To reduce the rate of death by accidental discharge of a firearm.

That cannot even remotely be construed as a "fine" reason unless you hold that every product which sometimes results in accidental death should be banned irrespective of all other considerations (such as rate of occurrence, utility value, etc).

So, I'm still wondering to what ACPlayer was referring as being a "fine reason".

The use of automobiles results in a great many accidental deaths. Maybe ACPlayer should post a news story about a particular traffic fatality, which apparently occurred due to negligence or carelessness, and entitle it, "A Fine Reason To Ban Automobiles".

Yeah I think that would be a good thing for ACPlayer to get busy on right away;-)
