Bullied Teen Stabs and kills tormentor

67. A gun is a tool to be used for a number of tasks. ...

Some involve injuring or killing a person or animal for good reasons but some involve punching holes in paper targets or aluminum cans. A pistol or rifle target is designed to be used as a target for a firearm so the fact that a bullet or bullets punches holes in it doesn't mean that it is damaged, destroyed or injured. The target was made to have holes punched in it.

Often when a firearm is used for legitimate self defense it is not necessary to shoot an attacker to deter him. When a victim shows he/she is armed the attacker breaks off his attack and flees. Therefore in such cases the firearm proved to be an effective tool despite the fact that it was never fired.

I think that I largely disagree with your viewpoint as it insinuates that all firearms are evil. The good or evil that a firearm does is determined by the person whose hands it is in.
