Isn't this like arguing that Guns were invented for protection.

1. Guns were invented for for defense or hunting.
2. When guns owners use them correctly they are good.
3. When responsible people have guns they serve a useful defensive purpose
4. When responsible people have guns they serve a legal recreational purpose
5. Stastically guns are safer than cars or knives
6. Guns are only dangerous when improperly handled or stored, or the users 
intent is illegal.
7. True someone could be shot due to misidentification, I thought it was a 
burglar, I didn't know my teenager had slipped out through the window and was 
no coming back in the window at 4AM.  But the same kind of thing happens if you 
startle a sleeping dog.
