Martha Stewart can put a rose in the barrel of an assault rifle and call it a bud vase, and then it's a multi-use item.

That doesn't change the fact: Americans are crazy about guns for their fetish value, not their use value.

Then what was the purpose in bringing up your mistaken point that guns are ONLY used to kill people? 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.

That being said, I don’t dispute your point that the majority of guns purchased in the US are bought for emotional or fetishistic reasons, but that seems kind of damaging to your overall argument. If guns are bought for reasons other than your stated use value (killing people), then it necessarily follows that people don’t buy guns in order to be able to kill other people. That people ARE killed by guns is irrelevant.

This isn’t to say that gun deaths and gun violence in the US isn’t a serious problem (it plainly is), just saying that this particular line of reasoning seems pretty flawed.

How the hell would any of you know why Americans buy guns? You don't.

How many guns have you sold?

5? 2? 1? None?

I have sold thousands. I don't recall any customers stroking off as some here suggest.

All your assertations prove is your bias and ignorance.
