No I'm pointing out that a gun takes less time/input to injure/kill.
I live in a metro, cops are always close by. In fact, I've lived in several metro's that had very quick PD's. I've had fistfights broken up by cops on several occasions. Its one of the reasons I choose to abstain from violence. Arrests on your record destroy your life. They define you in several peoples eyes including, employer's, rental agency's and courts.
I've been to a jail where fights were sanctioned, I enjoyed that very much. Releasing your aggression is a necessary step in life. I know some will say that there are more constructive ways to release your aggression.
I hear wickerbill on the other issues that affect gun use. I just see lots of people(on the news and such) being pushed to the brink and breaking out the semi's. I just wonder if those people think about beating the piss out of someone but decide they don't need the treble damages involved. Instead they hold it in until they give up completely and just try to end it all.
