February 15, 200718 yr are they the deadliest weapon a civilian can own? Or the most destructive one at least?
February 15, 200718 yr Eddo, if there were more guns then people in NYC, don't you think there would be a hell of a lot more gun-related deaths?
February 15, 200718 yr Nice homework assignment. "My hovercraft is full of eels!" - Hungarian tourist I am Dan Quayle of the Romans. I want to tattoo a map of the Netherlands on my nether lands. Heja Sverige!! Everyone should cuffawkle more. The wrench is your friend.
February 15, 200718 yr Yeah, I knew better I keep helping him out with his homework assignments :sad:
February 15, 200718 yr from dictionary.com "any instrument or device for use in attack or defense in combat, fighting, or war, as a sword, rifle, or cannon." in other words, there has to be intent, not just the cause of loss of life. since cars are not made intentionally to kill, they do not otherwise qualify as weapons. one can use a car as a weapon, however, but then you've added intent to the equation. if you look up the number of intentional vehicular homicides, it's probably pretty low. most car accidents that result in death are unintended. taks comrade taks... just because.
February 15, 200718 yr Well, we have had actual murder attempts, and even contract murders using cars in the UK. Personally I think that yes, they are about the most useful (if not perhaps the most deady) weaopn a civilian can own. Once you factor in transportability, the lack of a 'threat profile' and so on.

February 15, 200718 yr They kill more people than any else though. Cars don't kill people. Bad, stupid, distracted, reckless drivers do. Same thing with guns. http://entertainmentandbeyond.blogspot.com/
February 15, 200718 yr Did you know that donkeys kill more people per around the world annually than plane crashes? I therefore assert that donkeys are the ultimate weapon of mass destruction.
February 15, 200718 yr Cars don't kill people. Guns don't kill people. Physics kill people. The leading cause of death is life. Please help wiping out death by ending life!

February 15, 200718 yr *fails resist urge check* Guns don't kill people. _I_ kill people. "It wasn't lies. It was just... bull****"." -Elwood Blues tarna's dead; processing... complete. Disappointed by Universe. RIP Hades/Sand/etc. Here's hoping your next alt has a harp.
February 15, 200718 yr *fails resist urge check* Guns don't kill people. _I_ kill people. Roger kills people. "Show me a man who "plays fair" and I'll show you a very talented cheater."
February 15, 200718 yr Natural and unnatural acts kill people. Hades was the life of the party. RIP You'll be missed.

February 15, 200718 yr I killed 5 mice in two days last week. http://entertainmentandbeyond.blogspot.com/
February 15, 200718 yr You live in a rural area astr0? No. Montreal. http://entertainmentandbeyond.blogspot.com/
February 15, 200718 yr It could be worse. You might have had to kill five deer. The deer population here is so freaking high it is weird.

February 15, 200718 yr Well, we have had actual murder attempts, and even contract murders using cars in the UK. oh, i'm certain there is. i'll even lump in those that are so reckless that loss of life was imminent. Personally I think that yes, they are about the most useful (if not perhaps the most deady) weaopn a civilian can own. Once you factor in transportability, the lack of a 'threat profile' and so on. if you said "can be the most useful..." i'd agree. as it stands, they simply aren't used as weapons that often compared to other, true, weapons. using the same logic we could say that we all commit suicide by eating <insert recent whipping boy food here> regularly which leads to <insert one of the top 5 killers here>. taks comrade taks... just because.
February 15, 200718 yr I killed 5 mice in two days last week. Good effort! "My hovercraft is full of eels!" - Hungarian tourist I am Dan Quayle of the Romans. I want to tattoo a map of the Netherlands on my nether lands. Heja Sverige!! Everyone should cuffawkle more. The wrench is your friend.
February 15, 200718 yr I can't see any future in this topic, except for a fatal dosage of spam. OBSCVRVM PER OBSCVRIVS ET IGNOTVM PER IGNOTIVS OPVS ARTIFICEM PROBAT
