Question: I have a philosophy question about guns with live ammunition!.!?
Ok--now take a breather, there is no wrong answer, except for "astrology and such as"!.

Ok--is a "gun" a device which can be held by an organism which if it walks up to any other biological organism of mass<500 kg can simply "delete" its life points!?

I have heard on blogs that shooting a gun is easier than snapping your fingers!. And that you simply point the gun to the recipient whose life you can delete with a single mouse-click!.

That said, is a gun a "spiritual weapon"!? since you can walk up to any organism<500 kg and drain its life points with less effort than closing a pop-up!?

also (EXTREMELY SIGNIFICANT) for the sake of the question, that which happens after you click the button is irrelevant (the "backfire")!. Thus, the "backfire" is something which is a [[sunk cost]] given then utility economics!.

Thanks for the Q+A!.

Sounds like you are VERY Anti-gun!. I live in Texas, own 9 firearms, and have NEVER done anything illegal with a firearm!.I DO know several people I would like to strangle ! LOL!. Www@QuestionHome@Com

how much is 180!? how much is 120!? what are these numbers for!?
Why do you consider a life as an organism with hit points, or even files that can be just deleted!?

Lives are precious because once it ends, the same entity cannot be recreated or restored to the original state like you can with game characters!.

The problem now is that you are giving a very technical and rational reasoning for something you consider philosophical!. Where did the heart go!?Www@QuestionHome@Com

A gun as you have explained it, becomes the years of training that a person would need in order to accomplish the same deathly task with thier hands!. Guns designed to kill people, give the owners a Power Trip!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

stay away from anything even close to deleting lifeWww@QuestionHome@Com

If your IQ was 180, you wouldn't have written such a sloppy question that is barely intelligible!. You're assuming that humans are the only form of life with a soul, so killing a fly doesn't have spiritual repercussions!. For one human to take the life of another human I think does send you to hell, but taking your own life is even worse, Taking a human life is cutting off the possibility for them to realize the divine goal of life!. Taking your own life is not only doing that, but it disrupts the karmic pattern that was existing for you to deal with, which is now gone, so you end up living in a purgatory half way between Earth and the spiritual world for hundreds of years, not a fun place to be!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

If gun is a spiritual weapon that drains away the life points, then what about a ton of TNT!? And on the same lines, is a nuclear bomb, say Hydrogen bomb (oh!.!.!. 6 of them would be enough to wipe out the entire world) be a small god of spirituality!?

I think not!. A gun is a gun!. And believe you me, its not easy taking a life, specially the first one, provided you're "enlightened" enough to know and respect the true value of a life!. But then again, there are "causes", "beliefs", not to mention "revenge" and what not!.!.

P!.S!. Do you seriously believe your IQ makes you a better person!? I remember one of my professor repeatedly telling a story of a genius criminal caught by a run-down, shabby detective!. The criminal asks: "How did you get me!?" "Experience my friend!" Was the reply!. One thing I love about this life is what you don't have, most of the time can be "earned" at a price, the cost can be labor, blood'n'sweat or our good ol' money!Www@QuestionHome@Com
