What a really stupid analogy. Screwdrivers and garden shears are not weapons,
they are tools which may be used as weapons. Guns, however, are made for the
express purpose of killing people, and the only other function they have is
that of a really lousy/dangerous hammer.
Next time, please don't be so stupid.
