Not this utter nonsense again! Don't you people have *anything* in your
skulls? A gun is a tool. Nothing more. It has no "purpose." It is
designed to propel an object from point to point transferring energy to
the desired target. That is all. If cars are not designed to kill, then
why do more people die because of cars than guns? How can it be possible
that 80,000,000 people fire as many as 8,000,000,000 rounds of
ammunition annually and kill so few people? By your standard, the
population should reduce to zero in a month.
