[Sca-cooks] English Doctors want to ban pointy knives...

[rbbtslyr]

Some do hunt here in SC with handguns especially wild hogs 44 mags and larger are quite popular for it. I have also used them for deer. If you have ever seen some of the brush here you would understand why!

  I would have to disagree on this point.  There are still people who hunt for
  sustainance.  Coming from a family of tobacco farmers from rural Tennessee
  who hunt (large and small game) to put meat on the table,  I know this from
  direct experience.  So *some* guns do have a purpose rather than "violence",
  at least if by "violence" we mean violence against people.  Handguns,
  however, are not made for, nor practical for, hunting, so you would have a
  partial point there (if you disregard their use for self protection, which
  is a completely separate debate), and automatic weapons are a completely
  different topic, but some guns, do certainly have a purpose other than
  violence, they are used to provide food for the family.
