As a tool it does not dehumanize anyone, it does not do ANYTHING without the power of will behind it.<BR/><BR/>It is a lack of value for human life that enables a killer to take a life. The gun cannot provide that, only proper upbringing can. Remove guns from existence (an impossible task) and the killer will simply find another tool. Regardless of what you may believe, it is NOT difficult to kill someone with your bare hands, and there are thousands of other tools that can do the job almost as effectively as firearms.<BR/><BR/>Fix the root cause, not the tool.
