With a gun, it's push-button murder. You pull a trigger and your killing is accomplished.

   We speak of crimes of convenience. The gun is your ticket, then. There is no weapon that makes administering death so convenient. You don't need to go up and wrestle with the other guy. You can stand at a distance and kill him. And, death is more certain. If you aim it right, he won't just be maimed and injured. He will die. Death made slick, easy and uncomplicated: That's what the gun is all about. It's push-button murder: You pull a trigger and -- just like that -- the act is done. We speak of how if people didn't have guns, they would just find another weapon to use. But, that isn't always the case. Nothing makes murder so easy as does a gun.
