All I will say on this tired old topic is that guns are not tools. Guns are weapons. A tool is used to make something. Guns can only destroy.

I have never owned a gun in my life. I have always been against guns, for myself. I am in favor of others owning a gun.... let me share a story about the only time in my 50 yrs that I shot a gun... I worked in an aluminum extrusion factory in the early 70’s. Some of the products we made were light poles and sail boat mass. When the product comes out of the die I had to shoot it with a 22 (that was mounted on the machine) to allow air in quickly so the tubes would not collapse. I almost protested to my foreman that I don’t like guns and want nothing to do with them. As I thought about it, I realized I was being an idiot. The gun was a necessary TOOL in order to get the job done. Yes a gun can be a tool. Thank you.
