>Guns are no different. The primary function of a firearm is to accurately deliver a projectile to a target. That's it. My intent makes it either a tool for hunting, poking holes in paper, blowing up water-filled soda bottles, or injuring another human being. The gun's ability to successfully accomplish what I intend it to do does not define the primary function of all firearms.

Your arguments are becoming laughable. First you say "the car is the deadlier weapon". Now you say that a gun is not a weapon at all unless you intend to use it as such; it's just an innocuous "projectile delivery system".

Using your own "intent" argument we can easily agree that more people "intend" to harm others with guns than with cars - therefore guns are deadlier weapons than cars, although cars are deadlier (i.e. more total people killed) than guns.

If you're going to keep spouting the NRA line at least try to make sure your arguments aren't self-defeating.
