A creature does not go beyond its creation

A dog doesn't fly and a bird doesn't have four feet. The creature stays within its creation.

Even so, the gun will do that for which it was created to do, and little more. If it was created to bring death, it will bring death. It was not created to bring an absence of war, but to bring the war to its side. Even so, those with the most guns and those with the most powerful guns, find the war is theirs.

Guns do not end war between nations, they only bring it to them. The gun was not created to end all violence, and it never will.
