Stupid commenter slam

Okay, I'm going through my entries checking to see if any blogroaches had infested any of them. I found one: someone named "Douglas" who left the following immature, nastyass comment in this post:

Okay, so a ship and a gun are just inanimate objects - glad you recognise that even if you do seem to find them oddly attractive. Now stretch your brain cells one stage further and ask yourself: what was this inanimate object created for? What is it's purpose? Why do we have it? The answer is 'To kill people with'. The weapons provide the agency. Honestly, you sound like those morons that promote gun ownership. Long on emotion, short on common sense. You gave it away didn't you, Simberg? "..other inanimate object used in the home - guns." Yes, unfortunately they do get used in the home. Pity. Then again, if they weren't there they couldn't be used. And a fair number of people who have been killed would still be alive.
He posted this about a week after the last comment, and it must have scrolled off my main site before then -- anyway, if I had caught it sooner I would have taken care of the little dweeb then. But now I'm just too tired. I'm so sick of these crapheads who think they are so deep and profound. Read, if you are so inclined, my original post for the subject of what he is speaking about, and decide for yourself if he isn't another example of sanctimonious shit-for-brains.

Yep, weapons are for killing people, although they don't have to be used to do that in order to be useful for something, as when brandishing a pistol frightens a mugger away.

What Douglas and his fellow twerps don't take into account is that there are people who need killing and institutions that need destroying. Hitler and the Nazis come to mind. Osama, Al Qaeda, and his fellow terrorist groups are another set. Saddam and the Ba'athists are the latest example. The Bush-haters won't admit that until reality hits them with a big cluebat, then it will be too late for them.

"The answer is 'To kill people with'"

To kill people with what?
