Interesting comment, but I admittedly don't understand it.

I am not a big proponent of guns and don't own any myself, but I'm curious about the context of "need" in the way you used it.

Hypothetically, if someone were planning a murder in the complex situation created above, wouldn't they "need" two similar guns to succeed?

I'm not intentionally being dense, but am trying to understand the statement. I understand the wedding ring in the example, but not the guns.
