Is it reasonable to assign evil intentions to an inanimate object?

Say, a gun for instance?Is it reasonable to assign evil intentions to an inanimate object?
My gun has a mind of it's own?


People kill people. People are idiots if they think an inanimate object can think and say,' Let's kill him.'


I have owned many guns and have never shot at anything or anyone for no apparent reason.


I hunt with my guns but they are there in case some one attacks me. I have used them since I was 4 years old to put food on the table, to defend our country and to protect myself and others from criminal activities.


Gun safety is in the mind and hand of the person holding the gun. The gun can not discharge without a deliberate action by the finger that is on the trigger. Most guns have a mechanical safety, but the best safety is the brain of the person holding it. Is it reasonable to assign evil intentions to an inanimate object?

Objects that end life are only at the command of the master. What are the intentions of the master? If it is to end life, than the question becomes; Is ending life evil?





Your child is about to be killed by a strange man. There is a gun in your hand.





Your child is about to be killed by a bear. There is a gun in your hand.





A stranger has money that you desperately need. There is a gun in your hand.





The gun is in your mouth. Your wife left you.





The gun is just a slave to your intentions, no matter what they be.









considering the odds of dying from Firearms discharge is 1 in


452,476

especially Jackie mason.
Nope...not reasonable.





How about books? Books are inanimate objects yet books like, oh say, The Koran, are deemed by many to be an object that is not only evil but is an inspiration for evil.





Same with books that have titles like ';My Two Mommies';...whole lot of people point at those kind of inanimate objects and certainly would like to burn them in a big pile.





People can be soooooo silly and stupid sometimes...don't you agree?



Actually yes. There are a variety of torture devices that have no purpose other than evil..the rack, the pear, the iron mask, those coffin-looking things full of poky spikes.





Guns, however are a fact of life. It is too late to gather them all up now...and even if you did, someone somewhere knows how to make more.





As long as the bad guys have guns, the good guys need them.





People who dream about a world with no guns are simply not being realistic.






No, that's foolish. It's the people who buy guns who may be evil. Unlike a car, a gun is not necessary for anything but protection. If you *want* a gun for protection, sport or as a collectors item, you should need to prove that you're sane and not a violent criminal first.
Really doesn't make much sense, you can be harmed by any number of things that people would see as harmless. That would be like outlawing say brass bookends, fireplace tools, hammers, large wrenchs, crowbars, hot dog cooking sticks, the list goes on and on.
Does it have another use? Knives can be both a weapon and dinnerware, which is why regulations are a lot more lax on them.





If people docked their boats with nooses, that particular knot wouldn't have such serious cannotations either.
No one does that.





What they do is recognize that if you want to kill someone, a gun is an especially efficient way of doing so.
Or a 2x4? Or a rolling pin? Or a ...
OR A STEAK KNIFE, A BRICK, OR ANYTHING ELSE THAT COULD CAUSE HARM IF WIELDED JUST RIGHT.
Yes.





Take my husband, for example...
I don't hate guns... I even own a few... I hate trigger happy morons with guns-
If youre a liberal, yes
NO, or an SUV?
