Guns primary purpose in a civilian setting isn't destruction it's intimidation.

1. That is your unthoughtful opinion not a fact. The intended purpose of a gun is destruction. That is a fact.

2. Did you notice you had to change the parameters? I was talking about the general purpose, but you didn’t like what I said and you couldn’t contradict it. So you changed the argument, but that failed too.

That's interesting. In that case we should make it much harder and really expensive to get ammo. When facing a gun, you can't be sure it's not loaded, but the number of shots fired especially without specific intended targets will drop drastically.

No, guns primary purpose is entertainment.
