also, can anyone tell me what guns are good for, again?

generally a "gun" accelerates a copper/lead projectile via expanding gasses from burnt powder. It is a tool which has no specific intent until handled or otherwise set in motion by a human. (Despite what some people would have you believe, firearm-phobes if you will.)

Mine can be found killing rattlesnakes, javelinas, or paper targets depending on the situation . Besides being a very fun hobby, I keep them around because I like being on near equal footing with the criminal elements of society. (although gun "control" laws make this very hard, since I am not a criminal and obey the law.)

I see where you are going and I do LOVE to have this debate in my spare time.
