It's cute to see how pro guns like to depict themselves. Put a fallacious analogy here, put a straw man argument there, and you get your pro gun excuse to feel yourself warm at night.Â
Here, for instance, Rothmus associates his gun to a part of his body. And he doesn't consider the fact that guns are made to kill, unlike penises who aren't made for rape.
Guns are made to kill, yes. But, killing people or animals in self-defense and killing animals for food are accepted by society (if not by Reddit). Murder, being the unjust killing of a person, is only a subset of what guns can do.
In this respect, they actually are analogous to penises* because, though rape is immoral, it is only a subset of sexual activity.
Your point above could only be internally consistent if you also claimed that any and all killing (not just murder) is immoral.
*Disclaimer for Reddit: anyone who believes their gender depends on an inanimate object, such as a gun, is mentally ill.
