>I disagree. Guns may be used to kill humans, but they were never used solely for that purpose.

I don't disagree with your statement. They have been adapted for other uses such as hunting, but guns were designed to kill humans on the battlefield.

> Gun owners and gun manufactureres are not responsible for the abuse of the right to own arms. Nor are they responsible for the robbing, raping, and murdering that happens everywhere in the world without weapons. Deaths in prison are not committed with guns.

I'm not saying that they are responsible. Specifically I am saying that if a citizen owns a gun, they are taking away the right to safety of the people around them.

> No more cutting meat with knives - take them away. They have always been used for killing and cutting meat. I guess auto clubs and car manufacturers are responsible when someone kills another with a car?

Sorry, you won't catch me with that slippery slope.
