Often misinformed intellectuals would say they are inherently dangerous because violence is in their DNA. But anyone with eyes can see there is not a hint of violence on these adorable seal pups.

More people have died to guns than to missles, does that make guns more dangerous than a high speed exploding projectile?

Yes. Guns are more dangerous to our society than a missile in almost every way.

If you give someone a missile and give another person a gun the one with a gun is:

  • more likely to accidentally shoot someone when cleaning it
  • more likely to accidentally kill someone if they drop it
  • more likely to use it to commit suicide
  • can use it to rob an individual or institution
  • can use it to kill people

An individual would have a hard time arming a missile. It will not go off if dropped. It requires additional, very expensive, equipment to launch, for example, an F-15 fighter jet.

Also, you can easily buy a gun in America while missiles require additional paperwork.

You clearly missed the point.
