" the capability to kill somebody."

There is a big difference between

"all handguns are made for the sole purpose of killing people"

and

All firearms are capable of killing people.

We can agree that one has the right to keep handguns for self-defense. But let us also be honest in what handguns are for.

Handguns exist, by and large, for the purpose of killing people at close range. This is a simple fact -- why else would one keep a loaded handgun in the home?
