Perhaps.  If armed with knives, clubs, or nothing at all, people
who kill must feel the destruction of another's flesh (unless they're
drugged into oblivion).  With a gun, though, you can shoot at an
abstraction, deal death at a distance.  People who fire guns at others
may not, in their own minds, be killing real individuals.  But I don't
know, I've never done it.  Are there any war vets, ex-cops, or other
folks out there who have intentionally fired a gun at a person?
