Drivel, pure and simple.

Target shooting is not why guns were invented.

So? You said that the sole purpose or rather PURPOSE was to harm people.
And "They have no other function." That was and remains, drivel.

Guns were not invented for the PURPOSE of target shooting. No-one thought "I
wonder how we can put some holes in this piece of card, let's invent a gun" did
they ? Target shooting is simply something else thay can be used for.

The original purpose of target shooting is to practice KILLING.
