If intent matters, then guns are doubly problematic. They are specifically designed to kill people. They have no other use or purpose.

- iopq 10y agoYou could kill animals with them or do target practice with live rounds.
- thinkloop 10y agoKilling people is not illegal, the circumstances matter.
- Sacho 10y agoNeither is downloading content, the circumstances(whether it is copyrighted or not, whether you have a license, etc) matter.
- mountaineer22 10y agoWhat about defending yourself against a bear while camping? Is that not okay?
- hueving 10y agoI suspect the poster's only experience with guns is their portrayal in the media. Spending more than 10 minutes in a mountain town in the US would make you quickly realize how many people have guns with no intent to use them on people.
- hueving 10y agoThat's completely false. I own multiple guns for target shooting and hunting and have no intent on ever using them to shoot at people. I don't even keep them in a convenient location to use for self defense.
