That goes several ways, for a gun is ultimately just a tool. We can use to protect ourselves sometimes, or it can be used by those with evil intentions. What ever else is true, the weapon matters less than the mind behind it.

If Americans really treated guns as tools, they would be virtually gone from society. Any tool that serves no essential function and causes tens of thousands of deaths and even more injuries every year has no place in the household.

But Americans don’t think guns are tools. They treat them as magic totems of a sacred religion, that are givers of life, law and freedom. And as such, they cannot be questioned or impugned, and cannot be implicated with anything negative. And the only acceptable suggestion is to have more of them, because suggesting otherwise displeases the sacred Gun.
