There are a lot of things whose main purpose is harmful. But, with the proper application, they can be used responsibly. I can think, just off the top of my head, of a hundred or more things that I can use to kill. Does that mean that I will use them to do so? No, of course not. A gun is simply a more efficient means of killing. And, as stated MANY times previously, the main purpose of RESPONSIBLE, LEGAL gun ownership is for either hunting or competition...NOT TO KILL PEOPLE!!!!!

Now I'm glad that most of you use them only for hunting, target shooting etc...but they remain dangerous.

So...do you drive? Your car can be a deadly weapon you know. You can run someone over. Do you take medication? Your medicine can be deadly if used by someone else. See the point? There are a myriad of things that can be used to deadly effect, some even, whose primary purpose is death or destruction...but, if used responsibly, and with knowledge of the consequences, can be benificial.

No no you still don't understand. Your point is not valid to me : everything can be a deadly weapon in this damn world. I can cut a throat with a piece of paper if I want, this is not the point at all.
Guns have been MADE to kill. They have been created for that purpose. And they do it very good. Faster than piece of paper, faster than a car even !
One tiny click on the trigger and a life is taken away in less than a second.
Responsible or not, who knows what can happen.
