Gun control, freedom, etc.
Most of the first section seemed rather patronizing
The first two sentances are VERY patronizing.
'Some guns fire small bullets. Some guns fire big bullets. Some guns fire very big bullets'
Is this aimed at 5 year olds?! This could be a very good article with a little work. [[User:Jennisuk|Jennisuk]] 22:08, 28 March 2007 (EDT)
:Cut from first section:
::... are tools generally designed for firing bullets in a controlled manner. They have traditionally been used for two purposes: firing bullets at people, and threatening to fire bullets at people. Thus, a gun is considered a [[weapon]], though technically, the bullet is the weapon, unless the gun itself is used as a club, or as a spear if it has a [[bayonet]] attached.
:Most of this is relevant to the [[gun control]] / [[gun ownership]] debate. I do hope we will present the conservative side of this and not only the liberal side. --[[User:Ed Poor|Ed Poor]] 08:27, 29 March 2007 (EDT)
machineguns and 20mm+ heavy MGs are indirect fire weapons?! '''ROFLMAO''' i bet you don't even know what is indirect fire!{{unsigned| User:Schwarze}}
Jesus Christ is LORD!
:That's wonderful, thank you for testifying. But what does that have to do with the article? Puzzled... [[User:Human|Human]] 22:42, 23 April 2007 (EDT)
In the article it says MGs and 20MMs use indirect fire, read the article
==Gun control, freedom, etc.==
2/3 of this article is about freedom and gun control and blah blah political stuff. Is there another article where this can go, so this can focus on the basic encyclopedia stuff of what a gun is, how it works, how it was invented, etc.? [[User:AManInBlack|AManInBlack]] 23:24, 6 July 2007 (EDT)
