    Self-defense is a functional purpose.

    Only if the other person has a gun also

    Hunting is a functional purpose.

    Hmmmm, maybe but not with the same type of gun as self defence and then only take it when you're actually hunting, ok, i'll give you that one

    Not being helpless in the face of tyranny is a functional purpose.

    How's that working at the moment? US police shoot anyone they feel like. People that feel like they need to defend themselves about from the police are victimised and chastised even further. Take a knee? Trump is the closest thing to tyrant the us has ever seen and a big chunk of people are eating it right up. People want to go on about the 2nd amendment. Now's your chance. The situation the US finds itself in now is the situation that was written for so go grab your well regulated militia and go restore some order.

    Except more people are killed by bricks than by rifles.

    Blunt objects - 617 608 614 623
    Personal weapons - 927 905 861 815

    Ok wow, lets looks at this. First the claim more people are killed by bricks than rifles. You don't mention bricks again except to classify them as blunt objects. How many people were killed by bricks? You don't say. Then your numbers show the amount of blunt objects (broad classification of many things) vs rifles (one specific type of thing), whereas blunt objects vs firearms is completely skewed in the other direction.

    Next the deflection to gang violence. Gangs aren't new. People have been ganging up since one tribe decided they didn't like the next tribe over. How is it though you think those gangs are commiting a good number of those murders? With bricks? Yeah fucking right.

    Guns are far from the only problem but they are the center of a lot of issues and make most of them worse.

    Guns are nothing like cars when it comes to defining thema tool. Actually the biggest tools are those making this argument in the first place.

    Shut the fuck up, you moron. A gun is a tool, designed for a specific purpose. Just like a hammer is. Yes, a hammer can be abused to break kneecaps as well as drive in nails. And cars become weapons in the hands of drunk drivers.

    Yeah, and a gun can be used to shoot someone instead of shoot someone......wait a sec.

    Guns like cars are just tools, plain and simple.

    They don't kill people on their own...it takes a person to misuse a car, gun, knife, etc to kill another person.

    What is the purpose of a gun?

    Well if you want your till monkeys to be security they should be paid/trained/equipped accordingly. But they want to pay some kid minimum wage and expect them to notice, give a shit or even do anything about it other than a cursory phone call to the police/manager to let them know what's happened.
