Weapons of war?

So who do you think are worse, the inventors of weapons, or the users of them?


    




The Mechanic
Both are as guilty as each other , one for having such a small mind to think up such terrible things to do to his fellow humans, the other for using them although they are slightly less to blame but when your fighting for your county and way of live it is a bit more understandable

Weapons are just tools for people to use..

good question i think nether its the mis users that are at fault and did you no it was alfred nobell of the nobel peace prize that invented dynamite

The villain of the piece is ourselves.
In a free society, we elect our governments and hopefully trust they will act honestly on our behalf.
You certainly cannot blame the 'inventor' for thinking up the idea of these weapons because to do so, you would have to include whoever thought up the 'wheel' or the mechanised engine, the aeroplane. etc. Without progress there would be no means of delivering these mass 'weapons of war'.
Weapons are only developed because there will always be a purchaser. It is sensible control of the weapons we should concern ourselves with.

Maybe the manufactures, who sell weapons to those countries in war, while talking about human rights and world peace, then get diamonds and oil and stuff form them cheaply.


"I Want to Know Your Answer
Users who use them for the wrong purposes.
Did u notice, when the bomb was invented, its main purpose was for the building of the Panama Canal. Now, terrorists use bombs to blow themselves up and kill many innocent people.

Carried to extremes the same could be asked of the use of sticks or stones!

when you say the "users of them" YOU must be referring to the politicians that AUTHORIZED there employment.
Don't you dare think that the military has any Control on that.
Having said that, if you personally think that there is some way of stopping individuals from thinking, let us know.
I think that all developments in science and technology have a base in peaceful applications, and is then corrupted by politicians.

The Supreme Commander Allied Forces Europe General Dwight Eisenhower and then President of the USA when leaving office warned of the growing power of the military industrial complex. The top dogs call the shots not the grunts who do the fighting and dying. Generals want new toys and defense contractors want new lucrative contracts so they both lobby politicians who wheel and deal their votes to keep their pressure groups happy and contracts to plants in their constituancy never mind bribes.

as long as there is a need... there will always be someone trying to invent it... so i would say the users... take them out the equation and there wouldn't be a need, so no one would bother inventing them.

Users.
Inventors invent devices which have many possible uses. How they are used is another thing altogether.
example?
farming tractors. excellent tool made to feed people.
armoured plate. excellent tool made to protect people.

Put the two together, and you get a tank. which is a weapon- and all now depends on how you use it

the users are just the troops who are misled and victimized by powerful corrupt leaders. the inventors are just scientists who need to make a living. Leonardo DiVinci invented many tools of war.
so neither is bad. it is the governments that are to blame.
if it is a democracy, a lot of that blame goes to the voters.

Both.

It's both; The inventor creates the nukes for mass destruction, and the users use it for mass destruction. So now you know it's both.

The inventors are gullible and the users cruel. Give the military a weapon and they will always want to pull the trigger.
