Guns (with few exceptions) are manufactured to kill things. That's what they do: they fire a projectile so you can kill something from a distance without having to grapple hand-to-hand with it. That most folks (like me) only use them to shoot tin cans is a wonderful thing. But nobody's lobbying Congress for the right to shoot clay pigeons with a Bushmaster, or have a concealed carry permit so they can peg a few Coke bottles in an emergency.
