Quote: Pariah said: OR a gun could be meant to wound. Like a guy who brings a knife with him to investigate a disturbance in his house late at night. It's all about intent here. Cops are informed to aim to wound before they have to aim for a kill shot.
Like any corporeal object, guns are multi-purpose tools. Their initial creation may be for deadly use, but the same could said of Hunting knives. Simply because those are meant to slice up flesh, should they be outlawed because its the intent of the maker for it to be able to kill?
knives are meant to cut in cooking and housework. that is their intended function as set forth by the sellers.
baseball bats are meant to hit baseballs in the game.
guns are designs and intended to fire high-velocity projectiles at a living target.
