As for this being less than honorable, that's the eye of the beholder. It's like the VCR, guns, or deep fryers. They can all be used for good or for evil. Just because they can be used for evil doesn't obviate they're good potential, nor should we ban them because of their potential for abuse.

Your argument would have been a bit stronger if you would have said knives instead of guns. Guns are designed to kill - period. Now they might be used for hunting, but guns have evolved so far away from being hunting tools that they barely resemble their origins. I am not against guns, I grew up around them (hunting and non-hunting purposes). But if I HAD to choose sides, I would choose the anti-gun side. Simply because I know how dangerous they are and think that their danger outweighs their benefit. Not to mention that people are idiots and idiots and guns don't mix well. But in all honesty I know it is just a pontification, because there is no way to put Pandora back in the box.
