Well, many folks use guns for hunting game (which is NOT killing
people). and lots of other folks, including myself, use them for target
shooting (again, NOT killing people).
I don't hunt myself, but I have friends who do, and they supply me with
"deer burger", which is very low in fat content. Something that's
important to heart patients such as myself.
So yes, there ARE other uses for guns besides killing other people!
BTW, you can kill folks with cars and baseball bats, but I don't see
anyone trying to outlaw driving to baseball games............. ;-)
