Guns are what made this country and I personally take pride in them. They are tools and aren't just made "to kill".

In what capacity did guns "make this country" other than their capacity for violence? If guns weren't designed with that intent in mind, why does an entire Constitutional Amendment exist to preserve them? Why guns, since guns are merely a tool, and no other tool?

Also, if guns are simply tools, why do you personally take pride in them? Do you also personally take pride in hammers, or can openers?

Guns most certainly did not "make this country".
