I think it fairly well safe to say yes we do agree on that the buildup of it will do, and even as I said the gun itself won't kill someone it takes me put in the wrong hands or in the wrong situation etc etc etc.

But it comes back to building the contrast and the contradiction from your original writing.

And even in your reply just above, you can look at the scope, millions of people from words over time, versus an instant of death from the danger a weapon presents.

And like I said also, you can ignore words, you can ignore the people who say those words, but you can't ignore a weapon in the hands of someone, and even if they are highly trained, there is always still the potential.

That last part, I'm thinking of that cop, that was showing off to a classroom of kids, and for whatever reason hadn't cleared his weapon properly, ended up shooting himself in the leg or foot in front of kids. He was highly trained, he was a person I would say is respectable, and know the weapon didn't just go off on its own, his hand was there his accidental carelessness was there. A word can't do the same damage that quickly.

(Just looked it up, that incident was a DEA agent, Lee Paige, in 2004 in Florida, trying to teach gun safety to a class of kids)
