If they can't understand that most guns are designed for multiple purposes, from hunting to target shooting, to competitions, etc, then they are obviously using the 'guns are designed to kill' idea to paint all gun owners as (potential) killers and therefore are worthy of ridicule and more. Much like the labeling of people as racist, sexist, nazis.
This is pretty silly. I'm one of the guys here telling the obvious truth, which is that firearms are, by and large, designed to kill or injure. I'm also now more than 20 years into a military career, shoot regularly, shoot reasonably well, and have no particular problem with hunting or self defense gun ownership.
Guns are tools. It's helpful to know what your tool was meant to do. It's ridiculous to shut your eyes and cover your ears and deny what your tool was designed to do just because you're afraid that some anti-gun person will try to make fun of you for it.
