People have been murdered by drowning in swimming pools, are pools designed to kill people?

People have been murdered by people driving cars, are cars designed to kill people?

People have been murdered by people with baseball bats, are bats designed to kill people?



Guns are designed and manufacturered to fire a projectile, period. A very tiny percentage are used to kill people, they're used exponentially more often to save lives with no one killed or maimed or even a shot being fired. The VAST majority are used to put holes in paper or cans. Hundreds of millions of guns are used and billions of rounds are fired every year with absolutely no intent to kill or maim anyone.
