I thought you were referring to the royal you.



That would have made it perfectly aceptable as the standard has been set by a moderator on this site:)

It really is funny to see all you guys be all upset about the royal we part....obviously none of you understand what the pluralis majestatis is.



Upset? Not really

And the One person or royal we ? big deal.
It is the justification he used for the blatant PA.

But he has set the standard. Doubt anyone else will be able to follow the lead

It is called hypocrisy.:|

> I have 7 defective guns.

They won't kill people? Interesting.

Handguns are designed to kill people. That drives their design. They can be used for other things, of course,

Take a parachute. It is designed to decelerate you at the end of a freefall and allow you to land safely. It can also be groundlaunched or kited, and can even be used as a car cover. THat doesn't change its intended purpose.

Except that Pluralis Majestatis by definition refers back to the person using it. Basically he told himself to go fuck himself :P

You lost a word there from the prior citation. He said solely.

And even your revision is incorrect. The 22s used for competitive shooting are not at all designed with the goal of killing people. My .22 has primary value as a full weight practice pistol.

Now, If I really believed that is what he meant and said, well, in the royal sense, I would hope he could get it done:)

I could care less what it was designed for, personally. It's amazing that people assume the right to limit guns using the "saving lives" premise. In the meantime, denying others the right to own and use them as they see fit, harming nobody.

The crimes committed with guns are already crimes. In most cases, they can be committed with knives, hammers, or or other household implements. You want to save lives? Ban automobiles. Those suckers kill a lot of people. They're also the favorite tool of drunk drivers. If you banned cars, we'd have far fewer drunk drivers.

Gee, there appears to be some posters conspicuously absent in this thread.



If today is an average day in the USA, some 80 - 100 people will die from gunshots today.

Satisfied?



It's nice that even when suicides are included guns are involved in an insignificant number of deaths.

Every day over 750 Americans finish the slow suicide resulting from obesity and over eating. We'd do better regulating Big Macs than Mac 10s.

Of course; there will always be exceptions. There are skydiving canopies that have been redesigned for ground launching; they are no longer designed primarily for stopping your freefall.

Nevertheless, parachutes are designed to stop your freefall and save your life.

>So what you're saying is that you're right....except when you're wrong

Nope. I'm saying that facts don't change even when you find them somewhat inconvenient.

Handguns are designed to project deadly force. That's why they are used for home defense, by police officers and by criminals. They are useful tools when deadly force, or the threat thereof, is required.

They can also be used for other things. They can be used to practice the projection of deadly force. (That's why many targets in ranges have human shapes.) They can be used by people who like to collect such things. They can even be used as bottle openers.

But if you argued that "I use my gun as a bottle opener, therefore it's not designed to be deadly" you'd look pretty silly, eh?

you continue to fail to address the "solely" modifier. It makes an easy argument for you, but it's not entirely the same.

Sorry, I didn't go far enough back in the thread then. Handguns are designed to kill first and foremost, although they are used for other things - so "solely" is not accurate.
