Don't bring your knife to a gun fight. Unless your withing 6 feet of someone, they will gun you down before you can even lash out at them. Ever try hunting a deer with a Knife? impossible they run far too fast for you to chase, but since bullets travel faster than the speed of sound there is no deer who can run away from it. Ever try to kill a Bear with a knife? I would much rather have a gun.

Gun jams? I have an AK, they never jam even if you fill them with rocks, mud and sand. If your gun is jamming then you haven't been taking care of it. My Glock has 40,000 + rounds through it and is 17 years old, it has never jammed. Once in a while my AR jams becasue of a badly sized Casing, but since there are 29 more rounds in the magazine it only takes half a second to extract and reload by pulling on the charging handle.

jets and tanks do not hunt people, they hunt other tanks or jets or are for anti-material purposes NOT people. The enemy would go bankrupt sending multimillion dollar equipment out to kill a single person.

Ever set up a trap only to come back and find the animal you caught has chewed its own leg off and has gotten away? Ever see an animal that you have poked a hole all the way through get up and walk away?

An empty gun is still useful, Mine have bayonets on the end plus they make nice clubbing weps. Guns do not break very easily, they are made to take some major abuse, especially the assault types.

If you take care of your firearms they will never rust. The majority of my firearms are hard coat anodized and teflon coated, the barrels are either Stainless steel or Chrome Molybdenum , neither rusts.

You obviously have zero military experience and zero firearm experience or you would not try to make the argument that a knife is a better weapon to have if you want to survive in a SHTF scenario.

When the hungry mob comes for your food are you going to cut all their throats before they take you down? You might get one or 2 before they tear you limb from limb, but if you shoot one dead on the spot and you have enough to kill 30 people in 1 magazine their natural instinct will take over and the hungry mob will move to easier pickings like the guy with a knife to defend himself.

See your looking for a gun fight.........I wouldnt get in a gun fight but sombody like you WITH a gun would.

Guns shoot bullets no matter how much of a bad ass you THINK you are, you will never be prepared for a bullet passing threw you. Dont care how many guns are in your house your still dead because you seak out to fight back.

In reality, in nature the smarter animal knows it can win every fight but yet it only eats when its hungry? Its because life is to short this meal could be your last so why risk it unless your life depends on it.

Life is simple as we are all one when we create objects ment to destroy the other we are distroying our selves.

to many things try to kill us anyways why make more of these objects?

Go run at a lion and it will run away from you. It knows it can eat you but it wont because YOUR aproaching it it knows you have the upper hand. The lion will fall back watch its pride and regroup most likley leaving you alone because IT knows your willing to fight. Notice hunters get attacked by lions? But tribes in africa never get attacked in the day by lions? Hunters with guns get attacked broad day light because the lion KNOWS they fear the lion THATS why they are 100s of yards away scoping me out its because they fear me.

Lions even know witch is the real threat everyday to them is life or death so I would guess they have better judgment on such calls. But I would think people like you think your right about everything and think because youve got an object that throws other objects to distroy other objects cool....So the circle continues.

This is an excellent point, and i thank you for bringing in another opinion on the matter.

I think, in a perfect world, we wouldn't have a need for guns. A gun-less world wouldn't be terrible, however, in reality, it will NEVER happen. People all over the world will continue manufacturing guns, and other weapons. If other people wind up with guns, other people who may be short on morals, and we have no guns, we are at a total disadvantage. If the enemy runs out of ammunition, the playing field is again leveled, but if they have the right ammo and skills, they could kill from over a mile away. If any potential enemies have that ability, it would be in my best interest to also have it.

Could guns still protect against against plain old evil humans?

you simply cannot argue that the only thing that is going to protect you from ANYONE else with a gun is to have a gun of your own


pretty much the only way to defend yourself...

In a perfect world there would still be guns. In reality Guns do not kill, people kill other people. My rifles can sit locked away in my locker for umpteen thousand years and never harm a soul, guns are not evil, they are tools. It is the user of the tool you have to watch out for and if you don't think when people go hungry that they aren't going to start going from home to home to get food your crazy. I don't own guns because I am looking for a fight, I already have 8 years of combat experience in theaters of War its not fun. I own guns because they are fun to shoot and make me able to defend myself. If anything I will run to fight another day if it is in my best interest.

Lions attack the local villagers all the time, lions have no idea if your afraid of it or not. How you came up with this is beyond me, anything to back it up?
