  >I'm pretty sure the vast majority of gun owners have never actually shot anyone. More common uses are: training, hunting, collecting, and plain old having fun shooting things. You're confusing use with purpose as if to imply the utility of firearms as tools to commit violence is merely arbitrary, rather than specific to their design. Which is weird because your second sentence makes it clear you know otherwise. Setting aside that hunting is physical combat, the purpose of guns is not to be collected, or to shoot inanimate targets. The founding fathers didn't create the Second Amendment to protect the right of the people to keep and bear arms against watermelons on stumps. Guns may have multiple uses, but their purpose is combat.
