A baseball bat can hit a ball or you can grind a man’s head to a pulp with it. A firearm is a tool. Yes, it can kill but so can any other tool if the person using that tool intends to do that. Soldiers use guns as a tool. They use it to defend themselves and to kill the enemy. Medieval soldiers used swords as a tool for defense and to kill the enemy.
