Yes- ALL guns do NOTHING except kill, kill, and kill, all the time, till they jam, smoking, from gore and overuse.

Because, as we all know, guns are designed only to kill, and since the entire mass of humanity has all promised to respect your posited design intent, maybe your Police Department should melt down all their guns into a giant peace pipe.

By the way, I can confirm that this is true- I have a channel of communication with the secretive gun use oversight committee, RIGID: Reinforcing Intent for Guns In Design)

Flint, too, is designed only to kill, kill kill; from paleolithic times to this very day, mankind has hunted animals and killed people with stone tipped arrows and spears. Assault stones, such as obsidian, have no legitimate lapidary use.

Please do the right thing and use all of the rocks nearby for their correct, and only, purpose: to kill mammoths, cave bears, game animals, tribal enemies or Cro Magnons which happen by.

The only reason you have stones in your yard is to kill people and animals: a selfish, dangerous, and morally bad decision deserving introspection and corrective action.

Bronze and iron blades were designed to do nothing but kill-chop chop chop! Museums have plenty of ancient swords and daggers to prove this. I am sure you don't have any steel kitchen knives; their only purpose is to kill, and we must not have things at hand which can do nothing but kill. Get those things out of the kitchen and melt 'em down. Whew.

Lumber is only used to construct gallows; therefore all stud framed houses...

Really- Design intent, as you have chosen to define it, is THE ONLY use to be considered of any given tool?

And your understanding of design intent, for all guns, is correct in the first place? Really.

How about defining and punishing bad behavior, instead of taking away everybody's tools.
