    Are Weapons Morally Neutral?

    Well, I think weapons in the hands of a few "evil" individuals will destroy more than weapons in more than a few "good" individuals would do good... In todays society I can't find much good to do with weapons, but its very easy to see what weapons in "bad" hands can do. But then again as...
