I was merely condensing what you had said to highlight the contradictory nature of what you were saying. you literally said "guns aren't designed to kill" then went on to say "most guns can be used as weapons" but you've still neglected to list what other functions a gun has that don't involve shooting something with lethal intent which is the reason a gun exists imo.
"Lethal intent"? I don't know whether to put this one down to poor reading comprehension or poor thinking, or both, since target shooting, a major use of firearms, requires no such intent, nor does self defense, where the aim is only to prevent harm to oneself or another. I don't know how else to explain it at this point, if you're not getting it, it's either willful or hopeless.

it was you who mentioned bows and knives first, and you're inferring I'm being irrelevant for replying? 
Ahh, another point for poor reading comprehension, as I brought up bows and knives as other items just as "designed to kill" as guns, and you responded by attacking their ease of use, which was not under discussion. The emotes only complete the self inflicted beclowning.

When did I say guns were designed for anything other than shooting? It's you who can't seem to distinguish "designed to shoot" from "designed to kill".

gee, perhaps that could have been reasonably inferred from the way you mentioned two terms I had just used in a previous post.
And the way that I addressed a number of terms and arguments people other than you had used should have tipped you off that I was addressing the thread at large, along with the fact that I didn't actually quote you or address you by name.

See above.

Not as depressing as being so thoughtless that you substitute feeble personal attacks for debate.
I've seen nothing in your posts that indicates seriousness. Spewing hyperbole certainly isn't to be taken seriously. You're just not worth anything more than cheap shots......
And citations by virtue of being citations are always factual and totally unbiased, eh?
You're last "citation" in another thread that I actually bothered to read, the one about Heckler & Koch, was obviously written by a peacenik about peaceniks with a general beef with the armaments industry in general (go figure
). About all it did for me is make me think about buying another HK.
