Guns are also designed to defend oneself if faced w/ extreme bodily harm.  Or to get food for the table so a family can eat.  Spoons are very sinister in their benignant sort of hanging out in the drawer, getting ice cream in the mouth.  Soo smooth and creamy.  But just like the bowl, is their utility derived from the vessel itself or the empty space in the cup of the spoon?  Puff, puff, pass man.  Firearms are tools.
