This isn't a rake or a shovel. This isn't a wrench, or a tool that has a civilian application. A gun is designed to kill. There's no hiding its purpose and there's no other use. When you pull out a pair of scissors, you're often not intending harm. But when you pull out a gun, you're ready to hurt someone or something. You have to respect the weapon, and respect the intent behind its use.
