Guns cowardly!?! What a strange comment! If you and I were going to battle to the death then I would sure as hell choose a gun over a knife; it is just safer for the user. So if safer is seen as cowardly then is wreckless seen as heroic?

Sorry, I know your asking Jonna, But I wanted to butt in. LOL To me it think it depends on what we are fighting for. Are bar fight, something like that, sure I'll fight hand to hand. Ussally thats not life or death. For sure if I thought you might kill me with your hands, I would not. If I thought you would hurt my family I would not.

You seem to be missing the point Jonna, it is cowardly to use a gun when used wrongly, in situation of war, that is a totally different world.
There are rules of engagement to go by to ensure no wrong deaths. But that all gets blown out of the water when fighting against cowardly guerillas.

Define wrongly. Is it wrong to kill another living thing no matter what the reason? If so then all gun deaths are wrong as are all killings.

Are they not fighting for a reason? Who decides whose reasons are valid and whose are not? Is it right that the US has killed civilians in the current war? By definition these killings are considered murder, but you would never hear anyone in the US administration ever refer to it as such because that is the view point by which the morality of the situation is defined.
