(81,220 posts)That sure seems like it to me, too. For all those who like to deflect directly to - "well, CARS kill people TOO! Do we have to ban all cars then?" - I like to point out that cars are not designed primarily To Kill. Cars are designed primarily For Transport. Someone may be killed in, or by being hit by a car. But that's not the specific purpose for which cars are designed and produced. However, that IS the specific purpose for which guns are designed and produced. What? We have guns so we can chop our vegetables efficiently? To do our nails? To shampoo our hair? Guns are meant to be used to harvest crops? Read to the blind? Drive carpool? Wrap gifts? Bake the birthday cake?
NO. No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, and no. And no, some more. Guns are designed to kill. Secondarily to wound. But mainly to kill.
