crompsin- I do not find using a gun dehumanizing, and respectfully disagree that it would be easier or involve "more of me" to use one weapon over another- hence my contention that no weapon is inherently more or less "honorable" any more than a table saw is more honorable than a drill press- its a tool for the job situation, and I am comfortable with either- some people are not so comfortable, for example, while in school, I was present at a talk by a vietnam era navy seal, who had killed a great number of people, and he was most bothered by the one he had killed with a knife (he was very adamant about this, and became distressed while talking about it) while blowing people up was not a big thing for him- conversely, a green beret colonel who came in had a similar carear and was bothered by something different- thus, I suppose that people will react differently to the stress of having to kill someone- personally, I feel that it is not the how but the fact that it had to happen that should bother someone.......
