I didn't know it was illegal to carry a gun in some places in the US.. Do you mean illegal to walk down the street with your gun, or illegal to have one at all? That seems to conflict with the 2nd amendment..
Guns as a 'tool'? I think that is arguable. Maybe you don't think guns are designed to kill, but even if that's the case, you can't argue that guns aren't designed to destroy.
A knife is definately a tool, they're used for so many common things.. You'd have a lot of trouble if you had a knifeless kitchen and wanted to prepare food. Also, knives and hands don't have the same kind of power that a gun has. With a gun, you point it at what you want to be damaged, squeeze your finger, and it is done.
A gun certainly is not a mace or ball and chain.. I can't think of any use for those other than to cause harm.
Knives and hands can be weapons if you want to cause damage and/or are trained to use them in such a way.
But no matter how hard you try, you can't cut your bread with a rifle.
