I hope this isn’t out of context, also I don’t want to “own the libs” or something here, I’m actually interested.

    What it means is, the only function for a gun is death. It remains a tool whose sole purpose is to kill. Threatening to use a thing, for its purpose, does not change its purpose. It’s not an extra bonus feature.

      That it is a function is precisely what I’m positing, but if you don’t agree, okay.

          I’m not really sure what your point is. Mine is that guns can serve a harmful function even if not ever used to shoot anyone.
