I view guns for what they are, an evolutionary step of man through the ages to find an advantage and a better way to kill ( generally their fellow man ).
They are designed to kill from a distance . They are inanimate tools that have being refined, improved and used by man in numerous conflicts across the globe.
However that is not a negative statement, they have been used for both evil and good and will be around for a long time till @Rushy gets his zapper perfected.
What we use them for wasn't in the original concept for use but the aren't alone there, Archery, shot put, javelin , discus are all used and enjoyed in sports these days.
Hell a parachute wasn't designed to throw yourself out of a perfectly good plane or off the edge of a cliff but again that's evolved into a sport .
