Just a thought...

I just had a thought:

To all of those people who say that "the primary purpose of guns is to kill people, and anything else is secondary" I'd like to counter with this: What about bicycles or cars? Their primary purpose, as much as I think the guns =?= cars argument is old and lame, is to transport people and their things from point A to point B. Why, then, do we regard "going on a bike ride" or "going on a joyride" or "taking a sunday drive" as recreational activities? Why can't I regard "spending time at the range" as a recreational activity? Oh wait, I do. Are we going to ban cars and bikes because some people don't use them for their "intended" purpose?
