The base purpose of a range top is cooking.

The base purpose of a gun is shooting things, generally living breathing ones.

I could kill a guy with a stick, a rock, a frying pan, a blanket, etc…pretty much most things; however, none of those things exist expressly for that purpose.

Simple concept, huh?

My guns are made for hunting, are your saying they should be exempted from this discussion (are you only talking about handguns and automatic rifles)?

Sounds like your hunting rifle still qualifies.

That is what I have been trying to say, too.
