A fist fight is unlikely to kill anyone outright. A knife fight can be fatal, but the dynamics are different to a gunfight.
No matter how loudly you claim guns are for defense, what you mean is "I can kill you first".
Guns are not merely tools. They are tools designed solely for killing things. Claiming otherwise is unbelievably naive. |
