I say yes only because I don't approve of killing. I think if you want something you should fight for it, and if you are not strong enough to fight, then you should take the initiative to become stronger. Guns allow weak people, physically, and mentally to neglect working on their own strength and instead to use a tool they could buy for pennies to do their dirty work. Not to mention they are too fast. If killing is what people want to see, why see it happen in a matter of seconds? Personally I admire the gladiators way of killing, they beat their opponents mercilessly with the strength they acquired, and weapons that only add to their strength. Side: Yes

Sure brains over brawn in the long run, humanity can't exist on hulking behemoths forever, but in any instance of fairness a gun isn't really fair even if both parties have one. It's all up to who ever sees the other person 1st. Guns for hunting is a good example of brains over brawn, since we need to eat them but they are physically better than us. In my former scenario, yes, the handicapped are at a major loss. I am they type of person In real life that believes that we should stop fostering mental illness. I know how people could say it's wrong but I feel like it's more of a suffering to live and have no clue of your surrounding than to never lived at all. Side: Yes
It all depends on context in say a duel if your opponent is unarmed or doesnt have a gun then yes it is cowardly and dishonourable if your opponent also has a gun then fair enough. If your say a police officer and you dont know if the people you need to arrest are armed or not then going in to a potentially dangerous situation with your gun drawn is fair enough. Side: Yes

I had a hard time choosing which side... But, I disagree, using guns is just a matter of innovation and a new way to fight the opposition in means of combat. Although, it depends on the situation at hand. Using a rifle in war as to shooting someone because they are much stronger than you are, makes the perspective change by a lot. Side: No

No. Mostly it varies with a situation. It can be used to install fear or to kill or whatever. It might be like unhonorable to do so sometimes and you know people will say "coward" even though I don't really think thats the best term for it. I just think its not honorable. Side: No
