You don't get to decide the purpose of all guns. Mine are for target shooting.

  Perhaps a non-lethal gun could be used for that purpose? (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Airsoft_gun https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Airsoft_gun)

    It could be but I have a swimming pool, kitchen knives, and stairs also so it isn't a high priority. Oh, and my bath mat. I'm very worried about my bath mat.

  And what is the point of target practice? Target practice is to guns as boxing practice is to boxing. Even if you never actually fight.

    How about fun? I used to shoot at targets with a bb gun as a kid. I sure as hell wasn't practicing to be a bb gun killer....

    Would you want to go on a hunting trip with someone who had never fired a gun, or who did not know how to aim? There is a big different between knowing abstractly that you need to pull the trigger and having actually done so, especially with higher-caliber rifles.

      You're arguing my point: target practice is to gain skill to kill with the weapon. I wasn't taking a specific moral stance, I actually believe as long as the government is allowed to have weapons the people should be able to as well. I simply have no illusions what guns are for.
