A gun is not just simply a tool, but specific type of tool- A Weapon. A weapon is a tool primarily designed to rip flesh and cause death/harm. Unlike, say, a hammer which is a tool designed to drive nails, but can be used to rip flesh and cause death/harm. The gun's distinction as a tool of weaponry, designed primarily to easily puncture multiple meatbags in a short amount of time, places them into a distinctly different category than simple tools.
