a handgun is a tool you can trivially use to trim your trees or to shoot someone it doesn't mean it's meant for killing

That's a blatantly false pseudo-analogy. Your claim about a handgun itself is bogus.

A gun is not a multi-purpose tool; it is a weapon. AI is a general-purpose tool, and not a weapon.

That's the point. A gun is also "just a tool". It's a lazy argument.
