I wasnt talking about bows. I just told Winter a gun wasnt necessary to hunt which is still killing something. My question was what other use did a gun have that wasnt better servered by another tool that had nothing to do with shooting, killing, threat of harm.I disagree that its necessary. You can hunt with a bow.But all cutting isnt harming. You can cut boxes.. You can get objects out in small cracks, You can use it as a fork. A guns purpose is to shoot and kill something. There is no other purpose it was designed for.Still a threat of harm. Try again.
You will never completely remove the threat of harm.
Guns shoot. Asking what they can do besides shooting something is like asking what a knife can do besides cut.
That is somewhat true. The main use for firearms is hunting. Yes, that is shooting and killing an animal. It is also necessary and helpful.
Most of my shooting is at targets. So shooting does not necessarily mean killing.
See....now you have changed the goal post....Winterborn has obvioulsy answered the question you posed from your post #2....
How would people cut their food? What other use does a gun have that cant be done better by something else?
A bow cannot bring down game as efficiently as a gun can.......
