I wasn't just talking about water guns or toys. Plenty of actual firearms were not designed to kill people, and would do a pretty poor job of it if you tried.

Realistically, a pair of golf clubs would be more dangerous in trained hands than whole swaths of competition and small varmint guns.

This is the problem with society at large - rather than seek to understand gun culture, you dismiss it as being all about killing people, and that couldn't be farther from the truth.
