It means you eat nothing made from animals. It's like being a vegitarian but more hardcore.

I mean, it's fine to believe what you want. But I think saying "All guns should be destroyed" isn't really the answer to anything. What about knives? Swords? Darts? Bows and Arrows? Eliminating guns isn't going to slove any problems the world has.

Plus, there are people out there that just like collectiing guns. I have a few just because I like the way they look, or they have history or sentimental value. I don't kill other people or animals.

No, I meant hunting as in a sport. Killing animals for fun is just sick.

Those kind of weapons aren't used as much. But, you're right, I guess.

Oh, I didn't know that people collected guns...

Yeah I can understand that. I don't like Hunting for sport either. I'm sure they have their reasons, but whatever.

I read an article once that in Australia, gangs and street thugs carry swords and machetes because of the country's strict gun laws. I don't think you can own a gun there unless it's deactivated or an antique of pre-1900 manufacture.

Our gun laws here are extremely strict - and I'm totally happy with that.

Every law in your country is strict. You probably can't even spit on the sidewalk without getting hauled off to jail.

Debate? Most likely this would turn into a fight. Lets keep low on the arrests, okay?

Not for spitting but for letting your dog crap.
Anyway, except our movie/video game/comic book laws I'm totally fine with our situation. I mean do you know our yearly record of people being shot? Incidents like the one with that kid in Erfurt, almost never happen. I really think our gun laws are exceptionally good.

What is an Airsoft gun? I've never heard of those before? Are they like BB guns or something?

Some friends of mine and I used to hunt each other in the woods with actual BB guns. Three of us would go into the woods at different locations, track the others down, and then shoot each other with BB guns. We had face and eye protection of course, but getting hit in the thigh with a BB is pretty painful.

I also enjoy hunting animals. I've been hunting for deer, dove, and quail. I don't see hunting as inhumane. You're at least giving the animal a sporting chance to live. Most of the time I come home empty-handed, which I guess would make me a bad hunter. But hunting is a lot better than slaughtering animals in a stockyard somewhere. Where do you think beef, pork, and poultry come from? Besides, it's not like I go hunting, kill an animal, and it just leave it to rot. I usually cook whatever I kill. Dove and quail are good to eat. Venison is also really good, too.

In my opinion, outlawing guns would be a bad idea. I sleep a lot better at night knowing I have a gun nearby to protect my family, my property, and myself in case someone broke into my home. You might say that if they outlawed guns and nobody had them, then I wouldn't have to have a gun to protect myself. A criminal is going to get a hold of a gun whether or not they are legal. Why do you think they are called criminals? Do you think outlawing drugs has stopped millions of people in this country from getting their hands on them? It would be the same way with guns.

Airsoft guns are like pellet guns, but they are all designed to look exactly like real firearms.
