I'm sure it's fun to fire guns - but please don't tell me guns are useful.
They are very useful. Here in the states, more rodents have fallen with a silenced .22 pistol than any other method. Look at New York. They have the most strict gun laws, and rodents. Coincidence? No, not hardly.
Ever wonder why places like Disneyland, or other theme parks, don't have birds pooping on patrons, rodents eating in garbage cans, stray cats roaming, etc. etc. etc. Firearms. I've been on several "hunting parties" at Disneyland. You'll be surprised to know the firearms used to eliminate the animals at "The Happiest Place On Earth!" They use mosty-non-leathal screamer-popper 12 guage rounds to get rid of nesting birds. See or hear a bird, shoot at it with shotgun round that screams when it travels, then explodes into a loud percussion blast that scares most of the birds away. I say most, because sometimes, they fall down dead.
It's just not theme parks, either. Cities have men armed with silenced Ruger 10/22s and Ruger .22 pistols. They go and kill any rodent they come across. Even parts of California do this. I don't think LA does it, which is why they have such a huge rat problem. So does Beverly Hills. Think about it. Multi million dollar homes live with a huge rat problem because they city officials who are too "anti gun." When the city of San Bernardino, here in SoCal, started having a problem with rodents, they searched for the best method to get rid of them. Traps, didn't work. Nor did spraying chemicals, which wasn't an available option year round. So, when they asked around for the best method and a silenced .22 was the best choice.
See, they're very useful. This is just dealing with rodents, too. Guns are very useful. Think of the famers, cattlemen and plant growers who use guns everyday to get rid of invading animals. I have an old high school friend who works on a farm, and carries a .357 all day long on his hip. You'll be surprise how often they have to shoot an animal, to either keep the cattle safe or to end a particular cow's suffering.
Food makers and processors also use silenced .22s for rodent control. Do you want rodents around your food products when they're being packaged? I don't! Do you want them using chemicals around your food? I don't!
Yep, I would say guns are very useful.
