Guns only have one purpose.

This is probably the worst statement in the debate, yet also, the most common.

I say statement, not argument.

If guns have only one purpose, to kill, then why is it acceptable for the police and military to have them?

I say lie, not statement, since this has been gone over endlessly on this forum and the several different purposes for guns, made clear.

Liberals are desperate to pretend that "guns have only one purpose", because the truth defeats their entire agenda.

If I see someone muggling a little old lady, and I point a gun at him, I'm not trying to kiill him. Yet the gun is very effective... in making hiom run away, or bette yet lie down on the sdidewalk with his hand clasped behind his head.

If a bank guard is standing beside the bank door with a gun in his belt, he is also not trying to kill anyone. But the bank is much less likely to get robbed (with the attendant threat to all the people inside and nearby) because that guard has a gun, then it would be if he didn't have a gun.

Guns' main purpose is deterrence. Not killing. They are used far more often to stop crimes, or prevent them from ever starting, than they are to commit crimes or, as lieberals are so desperate to claim, to kill.
