Yeah , but you ' re overestimating the intelligence of the average local <| sep |> Robert Turbin aka Bob Turbo <| sep |> Is a car a weapon ? No they ' re designed to easily move people pretty fast , and provide safety in a crash . They ' re responsible for around the same number of deaths as firearms including firearm suicide annually in the US . It ' s a difference in opinion here . I ' ll always agree that guns were originally designed as weapons , used to fight enemies and hunt wild game , but they ' ve developed more uses over the years . I feel like my pocket knife I carry every day is a tool I use to cut stray strands off my jeans or other random shit , but if I use it to stab someone for a justified reason , I ' m not a psychopath , then it ' d absolutely be a weapon . I ' m of the same opinion for guns . They ' re just machines that I use to shoot random shit until I go hunting , then it ' s a weapon I use to get meat . Or , in the case I ever need to defend myself with a gun , it ' s a weapon . You may see all guns as weapons , and I ' m fine with that . I totally see where you ' re coming from , it ' s just that I grew up as guns being used for a bunch of things and only sometimes as a weapon
