Yes. That's what a gun is for. Just like a sword, battle axe, knife, bow and arrow, etc. That's why I own one. So that I can kill somebody if it ever comes down to it. A gun is a tool and its purpose is killing.
Now, does having a gun make me a killer? Of course not. Has my gun killed anybody? Not yet. Keep in mind, I'm not a gun fanatic. Prior to being a cop, I didn't own one. In fact, the gun I own was issued to me by my department. But, suppose I did kill somebody. Would the jury blame me or would they blame my gun? The intention to kill was mine. The gun was the tool that I used to carry out my intention.
