Firearms are not generally used to murder people, they're generally used to poke holes in suspended pieces of paper or look pretty or make the owner feel safe or hunt animals.
They're very rarely used to murder people relative to their other uses.
- Steko 11y agoNot sure where you think I claimed that the only or chief use of firearms was to murder people. The main use of lead, asbestos and DDT were also not to cause health problems but they were still banned. OTOH firearms are overwhelmingly the most common way people get murdered in the US today, so to say they're 'rarely used to murder people' is to only look at the question from one side.
