People were killing each other long before guns were invented, and to an even greater extent than they are now. They were using swords, stones, knives, clubs and boiling oil among many other things.Neither motorcars nor kitchen knives are intended to kill or injure people, albeit it is an unfortunate consequence of their misuse. Firearms, particularly the ones being discussed here are specifically designed to do just that.
I'm not a pacifist and hence I want our soldiers to have the best weapons available, but it is disingenuous to pretend that their weapons are merely neutral tools
When I were a kid there was still a lot of ammo leftover from the war. Kids would find it in cupboards, we'd find clips and magazines in ditches, freshly ploughed fields would bring it to the surface. Sometimes fairly big stuff that was likely AA shells, 20 or 25mm.
We'd stick them in a vice and light them off with a hammer. How my generation are still alive is anyone's guess.

I went to The Museum of Childhood with my daughter about fifteen years ago. There were absolutely no toy guns anywhere. They had been expunged from history. My childhood pals spent all their time playing pretend games with them but they have been deemed to be "very bad".Do kids still have cap guns in this day and age or did they die out. Used to love mine as a youngster.
