You are incorrect.
Let me explain it to you.
Guns were initially invented for war, ie to kill or maim other people. Even on this board today people constantly reference "protection" as well as "hunting", two activities that leverage 100% the reason guns exist (to kill or maim).4
No...that's only one reason....and still, what is the reason for war? To protect resources, territory, families.
They were also invented to protect life in self-defense and to kill for food, just like most weapons that came before them.
And you agreed that "protection" is a legitimate use...that the gun's purpose is indeed protection. Which they are still used for today. And also to still hunt...'for food.'
