A gun doesn't disable. It kills. Maybe it kills inefficiently and the target survives, but you can't consider a gun a tool to injure -- thinking that way will lead you to make wrong choices in how to use violence.
There are times that killing is necessary -- or, at least, less bad than all other available alternatives -- and it is for that reason that I learned to shoot. But I hope and pray that other options will always be available.
