We shouldn't worry about gun control because KNIVES!

As I navigate the Twitter & Facebook waters these past few weeks, one argument I've heard over and over is that we shouldn't regulate guns because KNIVES! People kill with knives, too, ya know! Even Ted Bundy killed people with knives!! (WRONG, but why fact check yourself before making an ass of yourself on social media?)

Here's a thought for you. Short & sweet.

Guns were invented for one reason only.

To kill people.

Knives? Well, they were invented to kill animals. To hunt. In a time when hunting was the only way to get food. As a friend pointed out, the only things hunted by semi-automatic & automatic weaponry is humans.

Are there other things we do with knives and variations of knives? Sure, we use them to eat the people deer you kill with your "must-have" AR-15. Physicians use them to SAVE LIVES in surgery. Men use them to shave their faces. We spread butter with them. I've even been known to cut a box or some carpeting with one. People even pick their teeth with them.

Not that I'm naming names or anything. But you know who you are!

Do people kill with knives? Sure. But is that their only purpose? Nope. Not even close. In fact, I would argue that it's the activity least often undertaken with a knife.

The only purpose for a gun is to kill.

That's it. All she wrote. Thank you and good night!
