This is inane. A gun has a single purpose for existance - and that is to
take away the life of someone or something. One doesn't hammer a nail with a
gun, nor does one rake leaves with a gun. What purpose of an AK-47? One
doesn't go deer hunting with a 9mm. I have several examples of large calibre
shells - one is a 50mm and the other is in the 20mm range. What purpose of
these? One shoots ballistic projectiles at living beings with a gun, in the
hopes of terminating, or seriously damaging, the target. Call me what you
will.
