Guns are useful on farms for pest control, euthanizing livestock, and self defense.
All of those could be accomplished through other means, therefore guns are ok, according to your logic
All you're saying is that a gun is used to kill/maim, which is exactly my point, which is why the "hurr durr a gun is just another tool" argument doesn't hold water.
And clearly you don't see why that's necessary on a farm, which is exactly my point
Hey, a gun is a tool. Yes, the objective is to kill whatever is at the other end, but it has helpful uses. For example, when a coyote is in your flock. Kill the coyote or let it kill the sheep? A gun is the more life-saving option here. It also protects the farmer's livelyhood.
An thresher can definitely kill people if used imcorrectly. Shooting a crowd is using a gun incorrectly.
Mouse traps are meant only to kill.
You can have my mouse traps when you pry them off my cold dead nipples!
