If you could press a button and all the guns in the world...

[HAL9000]

Stopped working, permanently. All weapons from handguns up to nuclear missiles, bombes included would stop working, no new ones would work if built. Would you press it?

The only downside I can see is that people in those industries would be out of jobs and we'd have to learn to use bows and arrows again...?

If not, why not?

When he does, please report back.

 

[schneiderguy]

Nope.

 

[HAL9000]

BlahBlahYouToo and schneiderguy why not?!

 

[coxmaster]

Nope

 

[HAL9000]

Nope

Why?

 

[coldmeat]

You want to make it easy for the aliens?

 

[HAL9000]

You want to make it easy for the aliens?

OK.

 

[coxmaster]

Why?

Guns have legitimate, safe, and respected uses..

 

[shortylickens]

See the problem with having this asshole on my Ignore list is he still keeps making threads and you people keep bumping them.

 

[Rhezuss]

I'd press it...but it would only get us to use old ways/find other ways to kill each other.

All in all, we're screwed.

 

[arcenite]

The Owl believes that, without guns, there are some people in the world that would no longer be able to eat. This does not sit well with The Owl.

The Owl is in disagreement.

BlahBlahYouToo and schneiderguy why not?!

I can't kill zombies with a bow and arrow :sneaky:

Why would you want to destroy all of the guns and bombs? They keep the peace.

How so?

They only keep the peace because others have them to break the peace with, without them at all, the peace could be kept with a bow and arrow.

Zombies is a solid argument however.

The Owl is not to be questioned. You are to surrender your beliefs blindly.

if people won't kill with guns, they'll kill with other weapons.
at least with guns, someone not as able bodied can defend themselves.

No.

I own stock in defense contractors and weapons manufacturers.

OK, fair enough.

My fist is a weapon. So is my beard.

Sorry my Master

OK that's arguable, but I see your point.

You don't need guns to break the peace. See the London riots that happened last week.

Those people wouldn't have been breaking the peace if every shop owner had a gun.

They'd be armed and a hell of a lot of people would be dead.
