that argument is such bullshit.

Yeah you can drive a truck over people and kill them. But it's not its primary use, and we need truck and cars to go around. Same with knives, you need them to cook and stuff. Or hammers.

The goal of guns is.. well, to kill. You can say "to defend myself" to be politically correct if you want, but in this way, defending yourself is killing, or at least seriously harming. I need a licence to drive a car, and several regulations apply on speed, belt, upkeep of the car, you have to actually see enough to drive it.. etc etc. Do you think it's the state opressing you with their road laws ? no, it's for the common good.

You can be blind and buy a gun in the usa. yep. i'm sure he'll be able to defend himself if the state sends SWAT teams against him.

Nah, you don't need any of those things to accomplish the task. They just make it easier. Here's the thing though, guns primary use isn't killing people. If we wanna compare apples to apples, let's. The vast majority of guns in the us are not used for killing people.
