Guns are designed specifically to kill.

9. But this basic purpose apparently make some gun enthusiasts uncomfortable.

The question is...........why?

I have numerous knives. While I know that I could kill people with them, I use them in woodworking. I do not carry them around as self-defense.

I also have a chain saw. I know how powerful the chain saw is, and it could be used to kill, but I do not carry it around to use for self defense.

I also have numerous chisels, all very sharp. I could definitely kill someone with them but again, I do not carry them around.

But guns are designed specifically to kill. Nothing else. And again, a multiple round magazine makes it even easier to shoot numerous rounds, thus making such a gun ideal for a shooter who intends on killing multiple people.

Now you can claim that the only killing that you intend to do would be in self defense, and if you make that argument I will understand, but killing is potentially involved. Gun carriers must in my view accept that, every time they carry a gun, they are carrying instruments designed solely to kill.
