| Let me ask you something milton. Lets say two men living in the same area with the same circumstances, the only difference between them being one has a gun the other does not. Both live in a two story home with the bedroom on the second floor. Both come home one day and find their wives sleeping with another man. Now, both are greatly enraged. The man with the gun, in this state, reaches for the weapon, picks it up and shoots them both, taking only a few seconds to murder them in this period of great emotional stress. The other man, with no weapon, may head downstairs, finds a knife (since a car can't reach the second floor).
This takes longer meaning there is more time for him to calm down and not commit the crime. If he still proceeds, the wife and other man will be able to fight back much more effectively as the man will be closer, and are more likely to survive an injury with that weapon. The man with the gun is much more dangerous. You cannot effectively fight back against it unless you are very quick, you are less likely to survive a wound from it then a knife as well.
This is called a crime of passion. It is when, in the heat of intense emotional stress commit a crime in response to the emotion. Understand?
Knowledge is power, use it well.
Don't fear the unknown, seek to understand it
