I'll estimate there are hundreds of thousands out there in America just like me.
Their capability upon manufacture may be (among other things) to kill, it does not mean the owner will use it that way.
Smith and Wesson doesn't give a rats ass about intent. Nor should they.
Its a hunk of steel until the wrong person comes along.
And you could say the same thing about my garden shovel.
