The problem I see with this is that a gun is a tool that was created for death specifically. Most of those other tools here, have death as a secondary use. For me that separates it from others tools. Plus we've seen how effective it is at its purpose. A knife, etc. can't be that effective.

The nice thing about guns is they are the great equalizer. It gives your grandmother a fighting chance against a 300 lb thug. So think of a gun as first and foremost a prosthetic safety device for your grandmother.
Knives can be quite effective. Anyone can close 20+ feet in 3 seconds with a knife, that is why they shoot from that distance.
If you could ask Cain and Abel about how effective a ROCK is , they would tell you that a ROCK is quite effective

See that is where i differ in how i was raised, what i was taught and how i train. I have never been told nor believed that a gun is for the killing and taking of innocent life. It is my belief that the true purpose of the gun is to defend life, liberty, freedom and if needed to harvest meat for survival. If a person attempts to encroach on these values, gets shot and then dies then that was a destiny of their choosing.
I have never held my gun and thought to myself, yeah man! This is a killing machine, im go kill some folks today!!. No i have held it many times respecting the ability that it gives me to defend the principles that i believe in and were taught at a young age and will one day pass onto my children the same beliefs.
