Because not only is that not their only use, it isn’t even their primary use. It’s a brute fact that guns are used more often to kill animals than people, and I would venture to guess that more rounds of ammunition are expended on paper targets than on either people or animals.How the hell would any of you know why Americans buy guns? You don't. I just remembered I have sold a gun. When I was seven, I sold my water pistol to Scotty Brennan. As I recall, he paid me three licorice whips and his lucky rock. Boru

In a pew survey on gun ownership done in march of 2017, 67% listed protection as their primary reason for buying a gun.
I'm not kink shaming, but that's definitely a kink. We do alot of things that reduce to fetishism, especially in the context of purchasing - it's not a comment on why we shouldn't be able to buy those things - but rejecting the phenomena for what it is is equally pointless.

Zimmerman seems to be a terrible person, and he shouldn't have been following Martin, but he broke no laws in doing so and was rightly found not guilty because it seems to have been a justifiable killing in self defense. Trayvon was doing nothing to threaten him, other than bashing his skull. This is an atheist forum, and you are making claims with no evidence. A pre-meditated killing? The evidence shows no such thing. Did Zimmerman plan on getting his bead bashed and bloodied so he'd have an excuse to shoot? You are coming at this purely with emotion and you have no evidence to back up your claims. You do not understand the meaning of murder. Put the emotion aside and look at the evidence we have before us.
He wasn't charged with a premeditated murder.

Exactly, which makes Nomad's claim all the more ridiculous when he calls it a pre-meditated murder. He just 'knows' what Zimmerman was thinking, because Zimmerman had a gun, and "guns are bad", and Trayvon had black skin, so therefore it's a pre-meditated murder. Religious thinking. He has faith that this is the case. RE: Kenosha Shooter Kyle Rittenhouse

Probably more on account of the fact that he was stalking a black kid with a gun, but go off.
