Diseases' brought over by Europeans' killed more Native Americans than fire arms. If only they had a few muskets history might be a lot different

Hangs,
Of course not but that doesn't mean that they are manufactured for the sole and explicit purpose to kill.

Are guns made to be flower vases? Walking canes? Infant toys?

That is not a fact, that is your opinion.

That was not what I said. Your argument said that you collect them, I said that was not the original purpose.

Gun are specifically manufactured to kill, to shoot things/people/animals.

That's a fact. Whether you do or not is not the point.

Are you saying I should not own a firearm if I don't intend to use it to kill with?

The argument is simplistic because that's all some of you can grasp.

People collect bells as well but they were manufactured to ring, not to sit and collect dust.

People collect stamps and they are made to use as postage.

No matter what your use of a gun may be, they are manufactured for a specific purpose and that's to kill.

hangs,

My point is firearms are not made for killing, they have other purposes and uses (collectors items, target shooting etc.) both are a tool, the hammer doesn't build the deck itself and the firearm does not kill anyone itself, it depends on the hands that carry them. The FBI stats prove that you do not have to use a firearm to kill another person.
