Yet you >refrain from running over pedestrians at crosswalks. Quite right, but let us not waste any more time on these sterile arguments, which only serve to diminish our credibility. Cars have become necessities of life and they influence the way we live to a point that comparing the need for cars with the need to own guns is simply flippant! Alex -- I don't think it is myself because firearms are also a necessity. After all you have to show a "good reason", don't you? Perhaps not a necessity to everyone, but then having a car is not a necessity to everyone either. Most people don't have cars. The majority of shotguns and rifles are owned for vermin destruction and various agricultural uses, there aren't many ways of accomplishing them as effectively as using a gun. Poisoning, trapping and so on are either banned or less effective. However, you can always take the bus or the train. Taking the bus or the train may not be as easy as using a car in certain circumstances, but by comparison, shooting is vastly more effective than poisoning or trapping as compared to taking a bus to taking a car.
