    A thresher is a labor saving tool, it replaces the physical labor of separating wheat from chaff. Without a thresher a farmer can still accomplish the task.

    A gun is made specifically and solely to move a projectile down range with lethal velocity. What labor is a gun saving?

      Guns are useful on farms for pest control, euthanizing livestock, and self defense.

      All of those could be accomplished through other means, therefore guns are ok, according to your logic

        All you’re saying is that a gun is used to kill/maim, which is exactly my point, which is why the “hurr durr a gun is just another tool” argument doesn’t hold water.

          And clearly you don’t see why that’s necessary on a farm, which is exactly my point

      Beating your attacker to death with a rock is a lot harder. Especially the four legged kind of attacker
