The purpose of hunting is to kill, whether for food or for sport. Skeet shooting was created to practice bird hunting. Yes, guns are made for killing and nothing else.

On the other hand I find this a good thing.

I agree with the point, guns are made to kill, except guns don't kill people, no more than knives, arrows, baseball bats, etc.. 99% of people don't buy guns to kill, the legal purpose of guns is defense, sporting and hunting, the illegal purpose is murder.

Like stupid Pierce Morgan stating the fact that certain nations suicide rates went down when guns were outlawed, but someone nicely pointed out that why gun suicides went down, suicides didn't, people just turned to other means of death.
