Please explain. Is there a pro-non-mankilling firearms group? If you take a non-functional, antique firearm and hit somebody over the head with it and they die, does it become a "mankilling firearm" again? What if it's not even a firearm, but is, say, a brick, and you hit somebody over the head with it and they die. Does the brick become a mankilling firearm at that point, or is it a mankilling brick? Would masons become "merchants and installers of death"?

A gun is a tool. ANY gun can kill a human. But NO gun can kill a human without another force acting upon the gun. Stick a loaded gun in a locked gunsafe, and it will not kill anybody, ever. There's no such thing as a "mankilling firearm" in any legally binding sense.
