Finally someone that sees that they are tools, and that not just guns but
every other tool including knives, screwdrivers, saws, hammers, etc can kill
as easily as a gun - some at some distance as well depending on the skills
of the person using them for ill ends.
I can use a #2 or #3 phillips or flat blade with as much accuracy as a knife
thrower if I need to and a pipe wrench is just as good to take someone down
in one-on-one confrontations as a gun or knife.
