Handguns have no other function but to kill people.

Funny, I thought they were to keep the other fellow with a handgun (or
whatever) from killing ME.


all any gun does is to propel a projectile;
the projectile's goal is determined by a HUMAN.
Many guns are only for target practice.

or flare guns,nail guns,heat guns....

Besides,sometimes,it's a good thing to kill,like when another person (or a
4 legged animal)is trying to kill or harm you.

"To ban guns because criminals use them is to tell the innocent and
law-abiding that their rights and liberties depend not on their own
conduct, but on the conduct of the guilty and the lawless, and that the
law will permit them to have only such rights and liberties as the
lawless will allow... For society does not control crime, ever, by
forcing the law-abiding to accommodate themselves to the expected
behavior of criminals. Society controls crime by forcing the criminals
to accommodate themselves to the expected behavior of the law-abiding."
