Reduce violence…use a gun

“The Japanese Samurai were quick to adopt the use of firearms after they were introduced by the Portuguese in feudal Japan. Though the Samurai never abandoned the use of the sword, they saw the value that the firearm presented. More importantly for self-defense, the firearm, unlike the sword or my martial arts training, may be used to subdue an aggressor without the need to harm him or her in any way. This fact is well documented by Dr. Lott in his research that emphasizes the numerous cases of the defensive use of a firearm without a shot being fired. The most gentle martial arts technique would still entail touching the aggressor and applying some degree of pain to subdue him. I think that when Colt named their original six-shooter the “Peacemaker,” they were right on target. A gun can bring peace to a situation without the need for actual violence.”
