@D21. A gun is meant to kill. Your analogy would work if it was "Guns are out of clips and pistol-whip people"

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.

I wholeheartedly disagree with the mindset. Violence creates fear creates, fear leads to accidents. But alas we both digress.

I was just discrediting the metaphore you used. You should realize it was kind of off.
