That's not a bug; that's a feature.

A gun affects the emotional capacity to kill
mainly of those who don't relish killing.
Violent criminals enjoy the gore; but the rest of us
need all the help we can get.

Really, it seems that every gun control advocate starts
with the assumption that it's bad to kill a human being.
I admit that this is often true, but wouldn't it depend
upon _whom_ you kill, and under what circumstances?

I can think of many situations in which taking a human life
is simply the right thing to do.
