"No problem with my reasoning, the problem is with you, you create a false dilemma; You asked me who directed guns to kill people & other living things & I answered typically gun owners (a big fat DUH here). I did not contend that most gun owners killed people with their guns. "

1 :generally or normally — used to say what normally happens

2:in the usual way — used to describe what is normal or expected of a certain place, person, situation, etc.

The problem for you, jimmy, is that gun owners do NOT typically direct their guns to kill, according to the definitions above.

Next time, make sure you understand the meanings of the larger words, before you use them.
