A gun is made for killing other people. Owning a gun gives you the power to kill other people. Having people own guns, makes people shoot and kill other people. And it is FAR easier to kill someone(both physically, mentally and accidentally) with a gun, than say a knife. There is no other reason to get a gun than to be able to kill.
