That's the difference between gun owners and non owners
its purpose is decided by the person using it.
a device or implement, especially one held in the hand, used to carry out a particular function
hmmmm
to think that the manufacturers intended purpose is in any way relevant is ridiculous
A hammer is as much a tool or weapon as a gun
Or even...A sickle
So in what way can you use a gun then?
how about recreational shooting since thats 99% of the ammunition expended in the US
Currently there is an epidemic of wild pigs in the central US
why do effectively nonlethal calibers like .22LR wildly outsell large bore calibers?
Because squirrels ruin our birdfeeders
most people own guns exclusively for recreation
So you're undermining your own point by making a different statement.
or hunting, or defense
Hunting and defense are both using the gun for killing.
Gheto safaris?
yes but thats like saying we should ban fire extinguishers to prevent fires.
No, it's not. Not even close.
Why is having a gun for home defense a bad thing then?
Having a gun or having an arsenal
your argument hinges on guns being used "for killing" and that somehow justifies banning them despiute the non sequitur
I never made that statement either.
the number of guns is literally irrelevant
if you're safe and responsibe with one gun you will continue being safe and responsible with a stockpile of them
It makes theft easier
lol how?
Need to commit only one burglary
do gunsafes not exist in your country? I can buy them at fucking costco.
You made the, apologise the rudeness, but. Retarded statement that a gun can be used as a tool. Which it cannot.
Comparing them to knives, which are tools. Is not the same comparison.
If you're comparing them to swords? Sure. Then we can compare it.
I never made any statement on whether guns should be banned or not.
if I use a shotgun with blanks to run a boat-to-boat line charge is it still a weapon?
Break ins occur far less frequently in areas where more people illegally own guns
Am I seeing an underlying "NAP of animals" thing in play here?
You just made that implication because you're trying to defend guns using retarded logic that you cannot see your own faulty arguements.
In the medieval era, was a sword a weapon exclusively?
whether or not guns are weapons - btw legally, anything used to assault someone is a weapon - isn't important
You could make the argument that a gun is tool for killing
Yes it was Jek. A knife wasn't. A sword was.
even so, what is your point?
