Guns are tools, and as such can be many things to many people. They can be defensive weapons, they can be offensive weapons, they can be sporting tools, they can be collectibles, and they can be just good clean fun. To some people they can be all of these things at once.
I look at them like I do any of the other tools that I own and use on a regular basis. My truck serves plenty of utilitarian purposes, but I still enjoy dropping the hammer down a back road from time to time. My computer is used for many serious things, but I still fire up a video game once in a while, or get on forums like this.
The fact that guns can be dangerous if handled improperly has no effect on their purpose. If you own them for fun, then they are toys to you. To me, they're a little of everything!
