Some do hunt here in SC with handguns especially wild hogs 44 mags and larger are quite popular for it. I have also used them for deer. If you have ever seen some of the brush here you would understand why!

I would have to disagree on this point. There are still people who hunt for
sustainance. Coming from a family of tobacco farmers from rural Tennessee
who hunt (large and small game) to put meat on the table, I know this from
direct experience. So *some* guns do have a purpose rather than "violence",
at least if by "violence" we mean violence against people. Handguns,
however, are not made for, nor practical for, hunting, so you would have a
partial point there (if you disregard their use for self protection, which
is a completely separate debate), and automatic weapons are a completely
different topic, but some guns, do certainly have a purpose other than
violence, they are used to provide food for the family.
