No, it's specifically designed to kill something, which is why we give them to soldiers. Body armor is for protection, the gun is for killing the enemy. That's why a couple of gun stores don't want to sell to Muslims, who they say are the enemy. If a gun was for protection both side would have them, and no one would get hurt...Hammers are for pounding things. Guns are for killing things. Either could be used to defend yourself but neither is designed for it.And what is a hammer for?
Now, what is a gun for?
Gun is for shooting bullets.
Hammer is for hammering nails.
Either can be used for other purposes.
Point?
A gun is specifically designed to save the life of the user...
the gun is designed to save the life of the user...this can be accomplished by firing bullets....which can drive off an enemy, injure or kill them......3 options right there...
And the most common type of use...never requires any gullet to be fired...all while protecting the life of the user...
.... the mere presence of a gun deters violence more than it is used to cause violence......the majority of police officers never fire their guns and at the same time the mere presence of the gun keeps them safe from attack....ditto guns in the hands of soldiers, again, most soldiers will never fire their guns....but the mere presence of guns is usually more than enough to prevent open combat between nations...
so you are wrong....
The owner is killed by his own gun far more than they kill anyone else.
