Same as a Kia is designed to get a person from point A to point B economically, doesn't mean you cannot drive recklessly in it, in such a manner that would be better suited for a high performance vehicle.
As I said it is your right to ignore the point; however, just you saying so, doesn't mean one has not been made. My S&W .40 is an SD variety. The SD stands for self-defense (designed to kill somebody) do you think it should be illegal.
Some firearms are designed for combat, some for defense, some for hunting, and some even just for target shooting. All of them have the capability to be used for one of the other purposes, but a firearm designed for target shooting is not designed to kill people just as one designed to kill people is not designed for target shooting. Is this truthfully something you were unaware of?
Also, as I have said, I don't say they should be illegal, only I have seen no good argument that they should be legal.
