 All guns that are made to any sort of decent standard are actually perfectly safe. Of course they are made to harm. That is why they are so valuable. They keep threats as far away from you as possible. I control my guns very safely. I hope to never have to shoot anyone, but I will, too protect my life, liberty, and property. Stop trying to let your fear of an inanimate object get in the way of other people being able to defend themselves. You cannot legislate a 0-death society. You are delusional. This is not a utopia where the state can keep everyone safe unless they are locked in a cubicle and never let out. Your fear is making you weak, abd you wish to restrict those who take responsibility for their own lives. Kindly kind your own business.
