Now if we're talking about being offensive, how about some of the objectification and exploitation which goes on in this forum, huh? Be wary where the finger is pointed without first examining oneself. Many of us drive cars and those kill far more people than guns ever have. Most of us like good booze and booze kills far more people per any chosen time period than guns. Some of us like good cigars, some of us smoke. Both of those things kill more people than guns. We just regulate who can drive and smoke and drink yet we still have irresponsibility and addiction killing tens of thousands of people per-year. Just like fine cameras, and fine cars there is a sense of great mechanical precision to a fine firearm. That Sig-Sauer is one of them. Fantastic piece. As long as man exists, there will be some need for defense because someone else is taking an offensive position. It's human nature and to deny that is simply irresponsible. Living in a utopian dream is just that, a dream. It will never happen. That's what heaven is for. Until then, some people will choose to defend themselves instead of relying on legislature because when you need help, it might as well be the legislature passing a bill to assist you because if you aren't self reliant, no matter what laws get passed they won't help you to survive.
