Definitions are important.
And, frankly, I think the real history provides important data points in this discussion. Guns are tools. They are useful for both haters and the hated.
Guns are what the user makes of them. They’re tools, toys, collectibles, conversation pieces, etcetera. They have far many more uses than for killing or 100+ million gun owners would use their 300+ million guns to do far more killing.
