The first part is true. Murder doesn't require a gun, murder isn't a universally essential act, and guns don't have to shoot. Knife crime murder is epidemic in some countries. Guns can also be decorations, used for sport of marksmanship, or insurance policies against home invasion; they are inanimate objects without intent of their own. Killing is occasionally essential when all other means of self-defense have been thoroughly exhausted and someone else is intent on great bodily harm or murder that cannot otherwise be prevented with lesser available force or evasion.
