[QUOTE="witzend, post: 623590, member: 99"] I don't see a problem with hunting rifles. Anyone who says they need a partially or fully automatic rifle to hunt with is either a p*88 poor shot, a liar, or both. Any newer safe worth it's salt has a coded lock. No keys, and anyone who is concerned that someone might know their combo can change it regularly. Yes, people can and do kill with knives. [I]However[/I], killing someone with a knife is quite grizzly business. There's a reason they always say "And he stabbed her [I]11 tinmes! [/I]We found him because he cut his hand in the process.[I]" [/I]That's because you're probably not going to kill them the first stab if you're not sure that's what you're going to do. You might not even connect. Even if someone gets started on that job they might think twice about finishing it. Someone who has the cajones to murder you with a knife probably wasn't a regular Joe who went off their nut all of a sudden and slashes or shanks someone to death. This is someone who has a clear idea of what they're doing and have decided that if they get close enough to you with a knife to kill you they are going to be able to complete the job without your disarming them and/or turning the weapon back on them. That entire scenario is moot with a gun. It always kills me when you see on TV someone walking into a room with their gun arm extended looking for the "bad guy". Oh, please! in real life you wait for the bad guy to pop out and then you shoot him from as far away as you can and still be accurate - just as when you are hunting. [/QUOTE]
