Actually it's the "rape" argument that doesn't really cut it. Some people like to hurt other people. That doesn't make it right or legal. But if someone wants to own a gun just because they like to go to the range and shoot, that "doesn't cut it"? Who are you to tell me what hobbies I can enjoy? Owning and shooting a gun in and of itself doesn't hurt anyone or deny any of their basic rights. Misuse of a weapon is already as illegal as misuse of superior body strength to hurt someone.
In this particular example the one has nothing to do with the other.
