Classic argument. Also a bad one. Guns have one purpose: to shoot. Its primary purpose is to be used as a weapon. There's no practical reason for a gun like there is a car or a knife or a bat or any other object that could be used as a weapon despite not being manufactured as one. You buy a gun because you want to either shoot things, shoot animals, shoot people, or some or all of the above. You're not using a gun to get to work. You're not using a gun to slice bread. You're not using a gun to play baseball. You're using a gun to shoot.
Wrong. Just Igorantly Wrong!
Guns have multiple purposes, including as collectors items, Rifles are handy for hunting and target practice. Pistols are good for stopping an attacker as quickly as you may need it for, at close range, and target practice. Repeating assault rifles may not be needed by most American citizens, although the further decline of our civilization may change that. Some people just enjoy their collector's hobby, and there's nothing wrong with that if they don't have ammo for it too. All of the above do come down to one thing which is shooting, but so it is no less with cars. Muscle cars are a bad breed of cars, which exist specifically to endanger and cause fear to millions of other Americans on our highways. Therefore, the argument stands.
Mr. Hanky loves you!
