This is a strawman, they never said “the vast majority” or “used”.

They said “guns are made for killing people” which is absolutely a true statement, many guns are specifically made for killing people.



>guns are made for killing people

As a consequence guns can be used as a deterrence as well. Since their primary purpose is to cause great harm, people that value their lives and not commit stupid actions.


Yep also completely true.


well in that case, pencils are made for killing people and my evidence is that a pencil has been used to kill a person.


That's not true at all. An ar15 was specifically made for war against people (lots of them), and then refined for war against people. A pencil was made for writing things down.


Pencils are made to spy on people, we know this because that one pencil was made with a microphone in the eraser.
