That's a copout. The "soul purpose" of any object is determined only by the individual using it. Knives and arrow heads were designed to cut and kill. Pretty safe until someone decides to do harm people with them. Hell, shoe strings are pretty safe until one decides to put them around someone's neck. Does the issue stand with the individual, the easy of getting a shoe string, or the shoe string manufacturer?

Tell you what. You post a video of yourself tying your shoes with a gun, and I'll retract my opinion. Deal?
At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist. This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair. Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second. That means there's a situation vacant.'

And now shoe laces are equivalent to guns . Does the Anti gun control insanity train have any brakes.

You can kill with a shoe lace. They teach it in the Marine Corps.

Is it easier to pull a trigger or strangle someone with a shoelace?

Well, to be quite honest, it would depend on the situation. In the off chance of close combatants in a city setting in Afghanistan (or the like), probably much safer to go with the shoe lace, a knife to the lung, or the sharp corner of a rock to the skull to be honest.
It's all in the end result and question applies to any of the tools in either situation (which no one is willing to answer)
Is the problem that needs addressed an issue that stands with the individual, the easy of getting a shoe lace/rock/knife/gun, or is it the fault of the shoe lace/knife/gun manufacturer or possibly the home owner that leaves deadly rocks laying about?
Pick the root cause and support you choice.

So, shoelace control can be on the docket..if you positively insist..because it's totally not silly.
Let's take a looksie at guns first eh? We could certainly enforce the laws currently on the books better and more uniformly than we do, just for starters. After we do that, we'll take a look and see whether or not shoelaces or guns are a bigger problem and prioritize again?
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!

No it does not and we answered actually to what such a silly comparison deserves
