To kill large numbers of people, which is why no one without a really expensive federal permit can buy them (legally, obviously you can get them illegally still).

Cars and guns can both be used to kill people, and both have positive uses as well.

No they're not. I have several and their purposes are to either 1) Kill a deer or 2) Never have to be fired

lol @ silly overreaction. Amazing.
What else do you call it? I think this dude killing 26 people is horrible. I think arming every teacher or kid is dumb. There is a middle ground here but people just want to talk in extremes.

Do you think a vast majority of crazy people live in the US? Why is this happening more here than the rest of the world combined?
Yes. Why can Canada own huge numbers of guns yet have a greatly reduced crime rate? Simplest answer is that their culture is such that gun violence isn't a large part of it.
We have a ton of ****ed up people in this country. They shoot up movie theaters and malls. Maybe theyr'e encouraged by the 24 hour news cycle and the need to be famous, maybe having so much (as a country) makes them think the bad things in their life are worth killing themselves/others for. Maybe they're just bat****.
