I can't see how you can think I am trolling by stating this.

Even if we give you that guns are designed only to kill (and it is debatable), it is like saying that knives are scary because they are only designed to cut. It not necessarily designed to cut
you, it is just a tool to fulfill that purpose.
Personally I feel better knowing that a predator (human or otherwise) cannot openly travel through America. If a black bear suddenly walked through the front doors of the local super market (or preschool) you can bet the residents would not be standing around holding their genitalia while they wait for "the government" to come save them.
I think what it really comes down to is that most people who say they are "afraid of guns" are really saying "on average, I consider most citizens of my country an enemy". Why else would you be so afraid of them having any real power?
