The only point you seem to be making is that guns kill and therefore they
must not be tolerated.

No. Does the film say that?


I must have missed the film.  But that is what *YOU* seem to be saying.


More than once you have asked me if this is the best that I can do.  I think
that I have done qite well in showing other perspectives of this issue.  If
guns were the only cause of violent death in America, I might actually
consider the banning of them, however, they are not.  Other forms of lethal
luxuries

So that is all a gun is : a luxury. I prefer a good bottle of wine any day.
Or maybe new brakes for my bike (if any one is interested : I have ceramic
517's with Avid AR 4.0, but I do fancy some disks).


Guns are a very popular luxury indeed.  And so are telephones and
automobiles.  All of which have some very serious uses.
