2. The lesser of evils

Intent? Sure, the intent of the shooter. I think the intent of the manufacturer is pretty clear, to make a few bucks.

A homicide is not always murder. A homicide can be the lesser evil as in the case of the Orlando nightclub shooter. SWAT officers shot the killer after he killed dozens of people by shooting over a hundred.

The shooter carried a Glock. Glock handguns are frequently police issued service weapons.

I think your opinion is a bit naive, a little simplistic or perhaps a bit of both.

Sorry you don't like the analogy but your opinion that guns are made for killing seems to be aimed at moving guilt and responsibility from the Orlando shooter to Sig Sauer and Glock. How can you possibly suggest that the crazed loon who did that should be somehow less to blame?
