    and get to work on knives, sporks, fire, blunt instruments and the common cold.

    Tools and weapons are very different. You can't use a gun to eat your dinner or tighten a nut or travel to work. There is one thing a gun is for: to wound or kill.

    our carbon emissions are still increasing

    Sigh!

    While that's two things, at the very least you've failed to include deterrence. No biggy. Some of my most comfortable prior assumptions are cozy delusions too.

      I could have said threaten, wound or kill, I suppose. Why is it that Americans always split hairs about technical aspects of guns? That's not an assault rifle, it's a semi-demi-automatic assault rifle class B.
