Yeah as someone who owns guns this really fucking re-affirms the fact that I never want to use them, even if I really fucking hate the person and they're trying to actively kill me.

Wish I could unclick that link. But in a fucked up way I think if you own guns you should probably have to know what they do, and I don't think words convey it well.
