You answered the question. Guns are only for killing.
We've been over this time and again. No point arguing any more about it....
No, we haven't been over this discussion at all. Not that I can remember.....first of all, guns are used for sport shooting, many thousands more rounds are fired at paper or clay than at flesh........
Secondly, when did "killing" become a questionable practice? if you eat meat, then it is not questionable.......if you don't, you are a small minority, and your beliefs are not sanctioned by the majority.
Third, is not self-defense a legitimate use of firearms????
Simple as this: guns have numerous uses other than the wrongful killing of humans, same as knives, hatchets, baseball bats (clubs) and hammers. All of the above have been produced at one time or another, in one fashion or another, to kill humans. they are all the same....simply a tool to be used or misused by the person wielding it........and that person is SOLELY responsible for the consequences of that usage.......not the manufacturer, their entire gender, the seller, the movie producers, the actors, the politicians, or the little girl down the lane.........
The person using the weapon, no matter what it is, is SOLELY responsible for the consequences......
