A gun deters violence - if it does so, by the threat to kill.
I don't go to the movies that often but I have yet to see the need to use a gun to get a box of popcorn.
Guns exist to kill. No other reason. You can try and whitewash it with target practice, detering violence, making holes in paper - doesn't change the fact a gun is designed to kill. That is all just - to use a term - strawman stuff.
Table saw, automobiles, knives...all have a purpose other than to kill. Or threaten death.
You want a gun in your house - that is your problem...you want to hunt wild animals...okay.
But when you bring your gun into my space - the movie theater, grade school, bar, shopping mall, Texas A&M....I have a problem.
You know what really scares me???....George Zimmerman and the people who defend him. Wannabe who has a gun and decides he knows better than the police - stalks someone for having the termity to wear a hoodie in the rain and shots him. And claims "stand your ground." So now I have to worry that if I am wearing clothing that someone finds offensive that person they can shot me....for walking while wearing offensive clothing!
