Do you view guns as a tool or a death machine?

Both. They can be a useful tool when used as such and death machines when used as one. That’s the problem. Similar to drugs. Great when you need them, nightmares when abused

@AwesomeMcAwesome Actually drugs can be used constructively, guns can only be used to kill or intimidate, so i wouldn't compare the two. You can argue that some things and people need killing and to be intimidated, but that doesn't make the gun less of a killing machine it just makes morality realistically gray.

@kayoshin guns are also used for sport as well. Pure tool at that point. But I would agree it’s more of a killing machine than a tool.
