This is true. Not everyone can be a knife man. Most people just don't have
the stomach for it. Killing at a distance makes the act into a video game.
But handguns are different. They are a close in weapon. Most shooting with a
handgun is done at less than 10m. There is very little thought to it, it is
mostly trained reflex action.

DECLARATION & DISCLAIMER
==========
CTRL is a discussion & informational exchange list. Proselytizing propagandic
screeds are unwelcomed. Substance—not soap-boxing—please! These are
sordid matters and 'conspiracy theory'—with its many half-truths, mis-
directions and outright frauds—is used politically by different groups with
major and minor effects spread throughout the spectrum of time and thought.
That being said, CTRLgives no endorsement to the validity of posts, and
always suggests to readers; be wary of what you read. CTRL gives no
credence to Holocaust denial and nazi's need not apply.
Let us please be civil and as always, Caveat Lector.
