The only purpose of a gun is to kill

[Bradley2100]

I think this is not only the purpose to kill any body by gun you can also use this gun for your better security and avoid from the thief any ways if you only purchase gun for killing any body then it's depend on your own self

Just point out that not all homicides are wrong. There is such a thing called justifiable homicide, and that's what guns can be used for. As long as you concede that some homicides are just (and therefore the right thing to do), then of course guns have justifiable and legitimate uses even when used to kill.
Ast I checked, there are situations in which deadly force is the right action to take. Firearms enable effective means for resorting to deadly force. Therefore, firearms can be used for just and moral purposes (especially when they are used to save your life, your family, and everything you hold dear).

That's where my mind was going.
It's as with the old saying about Samuel Colt making all men equal, which is of course why advocates of centralized power want to have disarmed and very unequal subjects.

I believe we're all just over thinking this.... Just say "yup" and then tell them "and don't forget it".

Then, just walk away. There's nothing to be ashamed of, or anything that requires you to justify your personal decisions to them.

People need to understand function vs purpose.

A gun's FUNCTION is to kill.

A gun can have many purposes.

Disagree.

None of my firearms that I've purchased new have ever killed anything. Sure is a functional wireless remote paper puncher tho.

I believe your argument is fundamentally flawed.

Ask if they have a knife in the house ? Knives have killed everything. People, plants, fish, and animals. Access and number of knives are incalculable. Tell them to start with those, after they are gone then, maybe guns or rocks...
