“The only reason for guns is to kill”

Right?

The only reason.

In the July/August 2015 issue of Front Sight magazine, they had an interview with Valerie Levanza.

Valerie is the CEO of a healthcare staffing agency, a mother, an immigrant, and an accomplished shooter in numerous disciplines.

A particular part of her interview stood out to me:

Q: Do you do any hunting?

A: No, I don’t have the heart to shoot anything alive.

She shoots guns, competitively, but doesn’t hunt.

I know a number of accomplished competition shooters, that don’t hunt, nor do they even carry a gun for personal protection. To them, a gun is nothing more than a piece of equipment for their chosen sport, like a racket or a ball.

But you know… the only reason for guns, and that people have guns, is to kill. Right?
