If "guns don't kill people, people kill people" do "guns save lives"?

I just find it very hypocritical to say guns don't kill people, people kill people and then turn right around and say guns save lives.

I put the "Guns Save Lives" slogan right up there with calling a magazine a "clip". While they may get the point across, they are both in error. :D

Good analogy on "clip."

I like this preacher. He is a thinking man, and I easily see his points. Good communicator. He may be like my preacher, frequently pointing out faults in peoples' thinking, and squashing erroneous cliches and popular but erroneous sayings and made-up "scriptures." The good shepherd, leading his friends to the truth.

I can live with the current logo, but if a better, brief one comes along, I could vote for a change.

Thank you for positive comments and well wishes! I hope all our brothers and sisters in-arms make it home safe as well! Time to vacate this place, they have not changed in the past 10 years nor the last 10,000 years! Time to let them return to what they know.

Technically the bullet is the weapon. The gun is just the delivery system.

That really isn't true. The bullet just opens the skin so the fire can get in. That's what does the damage.

So I guess we could say....

My fire keeps me warm at night!:p
