No, that's twisting it. You cannot deny the fact that fire extinguishers were created with one purpose in mind: to extinguish fires. You cannot deny that fire arms were created with one purpose in mind: to kill. You will no doubt, and with reason, point out that it all depends on how you use it (you sure can kill someone with a fire extinguisher too, as has been said), but the purpose behind the creation of that object is perfectly clear, and you do not have the bad faith to deny that. At least I hope not. I'd be disappointed if you did.
