Best Answer

The only thing guns do is propel projectiles at high speed.

If the projectile impacts a human it will cause a variety of injuries. The most common is bleeding. A projectile may also disrupt functioning of an organ if it hits one. The two most common causes of death with a gunshot would be blood loss and shock.

It would be more accurate to say that people hurt people- and some use a gun to do that. A gun fires a metal bullet traveling at very high speed, which produces injuries when it hits you.

Why people should not be able to own guns?

Because the sole purpose of a gun is to kill, and people have no need to kill other people. "The sole purpose of a gun is to kill" is an incorrect statement. That is one of the uses, but not the only use. However, historically, it was understood that it was acceptable and necessary to kill when acting in self defense. Only recently (relatively speaking) have the liberal sheep started to whine that you should never kill a person for any reason. To keep another person from intentionally killing you or a family member is a reason to kill another person. Rational people don't WANT to kill another person, but sometimes it's the only way to stay alive. And on another note, people that believe that banning guns will stop crime are demented. Violent crime existed thousands of years before guns existed, since recorded history, and, even today, a large percentage of violent crime is committed with no gun, or with a weapon other than a gun.

Do guns kill people?

Yes, guns kill people. Guns are used to kill people, therefore guns kill people. People also kill people. It is incorrect to say that guns do not kill people due to a pedantic misinterpretation of a single definition of the word kill, ignoring all other definitions of the word. Similarly, cigarettes kill people. Guns kill people. No. People kill people. Your own actions kill people. Possible exceptions to this would include the Super aEgis 2 is an automated gun tower that can find and lock on to a human-sized target in pitch darkness at a distance of up to 1.36 miles (2.2 kilometers). It uses a 35x zoom CCD camera with 'enhancement feature' for bad weather, in conjunction with a dual FOV, autofocus Infra-Red sensor, to pick out targets. These towers have been established along the Demilitarized Zone (DMZ) between north and south Korea. In this case guns without human control would kill people.
