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?

I keep loaded handguns for self defense purposes. I have accomplished this several times without a shot being fired and no one being killed.

I also have several firearms, including handguns, that have only "last resort" self defense application.

These firearms were not made to kill people. Can they be used for that? Certainly! But that does not make it their intended use any more that my 4x4 PU is intended to be used as an assassains weapon.

Possibility does not equal intent!
