No argument here as I know they can and have been lethal but are also designed to reduce the lethal factor. I guess the real gist of my point is who needs lethal weaponry and who doesn't, and can intentionally lethal weapons be denied to those who dont need them for self defence.That being said a kitchen knife is lethal, so it can get really complicated sorting out what is designed with the intent of being lethal, who is permitted to possess lethal instruments and what can be lethal when placed in the wrong hands. All really complicated without having to make society baby safe.
