There are legitimate uses for handguns, there are no legitimate uses for either of your two examples.
But since you brought up naked pictures of children, lets compare and draw a parallel with that to this issue.
Someone shoots/murders someone else. The anti side is to just flat out ban firearms. Nevermind the laws we have to deal with murder, ban the object.
Someone takes naked pictures of children. The same logic would dictate we ban cameras. Who cares about the laws we have to deal with the crime,
ban the object that was used to commit it.
Both ideas are asinine.
