You asked who would I arrest I dont think that throwing a seven year old in jail is the answer. Why does the answer have to be jail at all?
Were not suppost to judge others so if it was up to me to handle the case i would focus on how this problem came about, why this seven year old would commit such a hurtful act and so on.
Hey if it were up to me though Guns would'nt even be legal!

A reminder ... if guns were banned, only the innocent who stock weapons for protection would have their guns confiscated, which would leave just crimenals and mercenaries and government military with weapons.

That means that people like us would be defenseless when protecting our own homes, neighbors home and families when crimenals come barging in, and they will barge because, well because they're crimenals and see EASY PICKINGS at every home or business.

Sure the cops will come, eventually, and before they arrive, the crimenals will have finished off what they came for departed un-hindered in their crimenal ventures.

Note: if every adult male and female passed the crime record and IQ test, each could purchase or receive a standard military weapon, i.e., M-16, MP-5, Baretta 9mm, Colt Combat Commander 45ACP and then, get fully certified in using that weapon thru the sheriff and / or local police dept., the crimenals will get jobs and crime will drop radically.

thunderize them!

THe fact that a lot of civilians own guns has not in any way, shape or form deterred criminals from using their guns first.

In Sweden, where it's very hard to get a weapon's licence, criminals very rarely make use of their weapons.

Small children accidentally getting their hands on mommy's or daddy's gun, and shooting someone with it without purpouse is unheard of here, but I guess that it's acceptable that some 8 children a day are killed by firearms in the US, just so you can have the right to use a weapon whenever you want.
Who's thinking of the children?

I'm sorry, but are you people serious?

I don't know how the topic got turned over to this subject, but since it has, I've gotta say something.

Guns were legal for years & years & years with no problems because they were a commonplace item. People taught their kids how to use them & respect them, and therefore, they were not so curious about them because it was no big deal for dad's gun to be propped up in the corner of the living room. Since we treat guns like an off limits, dangerous thing instead of teaching children that they are as safe as anything else that is used responsibly, like say, a car.

Education is key, and if people would educate themselves they would realize that guns aren't dangerous unless the person holding it is. Let me give you an example: My cousins have grown up having guns, and hunting with them. They were less than seven years old when they were over the fascination with guns, and they realized what guns were actually useful for. They were not under the impression that guns could only be used for hunting. They knew that they could be used, if absolutely necessary, to protect yourself or your family by seriously hurting someone else.

Nuff said, if you don't see the point, then you are only involved in this discussion board to try & come up with a better argument just because. I just hope that even if you feel compelled to dupe someone else into believing the ridiculous argument of the opposed, that you really aren't deceived into believing that taking peoples' rights to bear arms away is actually a good idea.

I have a bee bee gun Laughing

I shoot cans with it when I'm bored. Guns don't kill people its people who do it either accidentally or with intent to harm.

Sad but hotdogs kill people too, usually because they don't chew them properly, I dont think you'll find them outlawing hotdogs Laughing

Accidents happen ya know? I'm not for or against much myself.

Put a sober man behind a wheel of a car you could still have an accident. Put a drunk man behind the wheel of a car (increases the chances of an accident) could kill many more, and it often does.

Who knows? Even with laws in place against drunk driving, the laws themselves never stop anything from happening.

My apologies. I didn't want to hijack this thread. Perhaps a moderator could take the last few off-topic threads and start a new thread in the Bible Doctrine forum and give it a suitable title (e.g., "God and guns"?).
