SPB-C: Sticking to the subject of guns, you raise a broad question. Also the memory of the Simpson's episode where Homer goes to buy a gun: "What do you mean I have to wait five days? I'm angry NOW!" A gun manufacturer presumably does not know the individual destinies of its products. You can certainly argue that the nature of the weapon can give an idea. But the generic explanation is: "It's for protection." And another from Homer: "Marge, it's a feeling of power. When I'm holding a gun I know what God feels like, when HE'S holding a gun!"
