What kind of analogy is that. Cars aren't designed with the specific single purpose of harming people.
I mean, what, if there were no guns, would gang members throw pieces of 'string' at one another? Or maybe there'd be a rapid increase in the number of deaths by drive-by knife-throwings; probably, probably.
Jam it back in, in the dark.
