Yeah this is something which is the rare exception for guns ; they serve a very specific purpose...which is to "fire" them / shoot. Granted the same for other things used as a weapon (in modern crime) do serve another purpose (cars for transport, knives for food etc). With guns, it is to fire them.
I suppose that you could have weapons for trade purposes but for the most part a gun does not serve an originating metric / mechanism that is different than what a criminal would use it for. (I.e to fire the gun). The reasoning behind it is different, the desired outcome is intended to be different and the entire purposes and philosophy is different but both time the use of the machine / appliance (in this instance, the gun) is the same.
Now you tell me whether it is justifiable or not to prevent all of us who do not intent to use it for criminal purposes to be prevented from possessing it, altogether.
