OK so the control freak gun grabbers like to say the purpose of a gun is to kill.
I say the purpose of a gun is to fire a projectile accurately at a chosen target.
So the question I want to ask does is how and by whom is the purpose of a tool, any tool, defined?
I think the purpose of any tool is defined by the person using that tool.
For example if I use a hammer to cave in your skull then the purpose of that hammer at that time was to cave in a skull.
If I use a wrench to drive a nail because I broke my hammer caving in a skull then the purpose of the wrench at that time was to drive a nail
So does the intent of the wielder of the tool define its purpose?
