A few days ago I was talking with a doctor and wondered why a particular drug was sold only by prescription. I said I couldn't imagine how anyone could abuse the drug as intoxicant. The doctor said "all drugs are poisons," implying that they are sold by prescription not because they could be abused but because they are inherently harmful. We have to control them to get the good they do without being overwhelmed by the bad.
Guns are like drugs. They are inherently evil but have some beneficial uses.
