29. The primary purpose of firearms is not violence...
I've owned forearms for 40 years and never committed a violent act. I've probably fired 200,000 rounds down range in that period of time and I merely put holes in paper targets. Surely you don't think that is violent.

Most of my firearms were designed for target shooting and hunting. I also own several which are designed for concealed carry and I do carry them as I have a license. I also shoot them at targets. I feel these weapons are designed for self defense. Owning a self defense weapon may prevent violence.
