Not that banning guns will take them off the streets, I am speaking hypothetically.

Watching a movie accomplishes nothing productive; drinking beer accomplishes nothing productive; going skiing accomplishes nothing productive, etc, etc.
You're going down a scary road by saying that even though the majority of the people, say more than 95%....use guns for target shooting and hunting, and will probably never, EVER harm anyone outside of a freak accident....that it still accomplishes nothing productive and therefore is a problem.
Well, guess what....its a frickin' free country, and I can do whatever the hell I want as long as it doesn't harm anyone else.
Again, I'm glad some of you have absolutely NO say at all when it comes to gun rights. No wonder the NRA is so damn popular. All the people opposing guns aren't able to do it with logical reasoning.
