The purpose of a gun is dependent on the owner.

The purpose of a car is to transport.

The purpose of food is to sate hunger.

The purpose of a book is to give knowledge.

The purpose of a gun is to kill. At its core that's what it is designed for. Regardless of your feelings.

You can use a car to kill.

You can withhold food to starve a person to death. Or poison them with it.

You can use a book to teach people how to kill. Without literacy warfare wouldn't be where it is today.

You're trying to reduce these facets of life into nice little sugar-coated categories like its Sesame Street but the human brain is more advanced than that. It's reductive reasoning and I don't mean to be an argumentative asshole about this... but it is dishonest in a way.

And to be clear I'm not saying a firearm is equivalent to those elements you mentioned. You mentioned them so I'm addressing them based on their potential power and potential purpose.
