My revenge cube blew up... 
Might be irrepairable... :(
Rubik's cubes.

Yeah, put in plain, simple to understand terms, both text and video on how to solve the standard cube. The cube taunts me from my chair even now, sitting there in it's little stand, unsolved.

Video in layman's terminology: get a very sharp knife and cut the cube into 27 little cubes. Then match them back together using super glue.

Why bother with the very sharp knife when I can use a very big gun? (Uh oh, that probably caused Kaynight's head to start throbbing again!)
That would cause a very dark battle: The battle of the Knight.
If they outlawed guns people would just kill each other with puzzles. You probably own some puzzles but you haven't killed anyone with the puzzle. That's because you're a good guy. A bad guy with a puzzle might go to a late night movie showing and commit mass puzzle murder. Don't blame the tool.
Bingo. Blame the brain. And maybe as a society do a better job of helping people recognize and seek help for psychological disorders. It's a person's mental health that is often the trigger (pardon the pun) of these mass shootings, NOT the tool they used. I don't see people calling for pressure cooker pots to be banned. Or fertilizer.
But just don't let the anti's hear such logic - They get cranky and start threads about the tool and how they so loathe it.
I was being sarcastic about puzzle mass murder. You're overlooking the simple fact that people aren't looking to ban pressure cookers and fertilizer because those are actually useful tools. But you're wrong about that anyway there are limits to buying precursers to explosives like nitrate fertilizers ever the bombing of a federal building in 1995. Go and try and buy some you'll be on a watch list faster than you can whistle the Second Amendment. You see, although I own several knives I don't use any of them as a weapon because they have actual uses outside of causing harm. A gun on the other hand, it's single purpose is destruction.
Guns are useful tools, too. But to you, they are evil, so logic is lost on you. Might as well call dartboards bad, because someone could pick up a dart and with malicious intent stab someone with it. Sorry you're an anti - You don't know what your missing, you just hear gun and it conjurs an image of the boogeyman, right? Because you don't own a gun, nor want to, you could never understand a gun beyond all of your CNN footage of mentally ill people killing each other. Hey, did you hear about the guy who walked into his office building with a knife and beheaded a coworker with it, and was about to kill another when a GOOD GUY WITH A GUN STOPPED HIM!? Ironic how a knife turned into a deadly weapon, and a gun stopped it, is it not? And, of course, let's sweep under the rug the killer's mental illness, right? It was that evil thing that has only one purpose [to you]: Destruction. Hey, isn't shooting an Olympic sport? Why yes, it is! Guess people see a firearm as having a use other than destruction, eh? I don't recall ever seeing knife throwing in the Olympics, though...
Ummm... how did a rubiks cube forum get turned into a forum about gun control?
The Olympics are just another way to sell Coca-Cola anyway.
I've shot guns before. They're boring.
It's amazing to me that somone who owns and shoots guns doesn't understand the fundamental differences between guns, dart boards, Rubik's cubes, fertilizer, the pressure cooker I use to cook my beans and a cheese knife.

A firearm can be a very useful tool to end suffering. The one time in my life that I wished I had one and didn't: I hit a deer with my car. Severed its spine and caused massive internal injuries.
I was on my way to work and had forgotten my pocket knife in my early morning mental fog. I had a shovel.
Ending that critter's misery with a shovel was not humane.
And on that depressing note... who wants to try a Rubiks Triangle?

There is no hope in all these arguments. Either you like guns or you don't. The big question is whether or not you can see the difference between a psychopath or a criminal, and the 3rd party, who are the majority: Good people with guns.
As for bigpoison's post, I, too, hit a deer. Luckily I had a tool to humanely end the suffering. And a homeless person got venison via the food bank, so in a way, that tool did a good, not evil, thing that day...
Anyway... Rubik's Cube...
