that really cannot be brought up elsewhere on DU. Guns were invented to kill, no matter if some people only use them for "target" shooting. The history is important.

At the same time, most of us (or those that have kitchens) have tools that are also designated as weapons: knives. However, it evolved to be used as a tool, first, and later as a weapon. The spear was used for the killing and simply wasn't designed for cutting. Same for a gun. It can only kill. You can't skin a turkey with a gun
