Swords are just for asthetic, while guns may serve a purpose. i.e. hunting, self defence

You're more likely to accidently shoot someone in the face than stab someone (unless you have no balance whatsoever)

guns are a lot better because you can actually use them effectively for home defense.

Yes. There's a reason people don't fight wars with swords anymore. Guns are much deadlier at greater range. A lot easier for kids to handle, as well.

Uh, yeah? Swords have to be swung with force in order to do damage, or thrust well. MOst kids can't do that, due to size restrictions. However, guns are point and shoot. THe recoil migt hurt, but it's too late after that.

You don't have to load/cock/turn the safety off of a sword, it's pretty straightforward.

Collecting guns is not for self defense, it's a hobby.  Gun collectors buy unique, famous, or rare weapons and display them in a case for others too see, no weapon is loaded, and I would be surprised if the collector even had the correct ammunition. Keep in mind too, most of these weapons gun collectors go after are decommissioned, meaning totally unable to fire.

Guns are more deadly that one pull of the trigger will kill. With a sword, it takes some hacking.

Who has enough strength to swing a sword at someone's head? Unless you're using a pirate sword. . . Good point, both are equally deadly. Don't collect either unless kept under titanium casing. But that'd be pointless seeing as titanium isn't see-through.

What is it with this absurd belief that guns are somehow easier to use than swords? They kill much more effictivly than swords yes, but they are not easier to use. With Guns, you must have a basic concept of machine operation and mechanics. With swords all you have to do is swing your arms back and forth.

"And yet I cannot recall the last time I heard of a kindergartner taking his dads SWORD to school and killing his classmate with it. Can you?" The complexity of a weapon and how effectivly it kills are not one in the same. If guns had never been invented, do you really think he would have been any more or less inclined to kill?

i dont think theres anything wrong with collecting either. theres no law that says we cant. some people like to go hunting or to firing ranges. they should be able to collect guns. just like martial arts enthusiasts should be able to collect swords if they choose.
