The gun is not my hero.
Oh, I know of the good it can do, and the lives it can save, and the justice it can exact. And, I consider that perhaps a free nation needs its guns.
But, the gun was created to create death. Should I not limit how much I honor such a tool? If it were to become necessary for me to take it in my hands, I would do so grudgingly, knowing the only purpose I would have for it would be to kill someone.
Such a tool will not become too close of a friend, nor will I allow it to become my hero.
