Guns are treated as just another consumer product when they should be regarded as serious tools for killing. Soldiers learn to respect their weapons.

By the regulations they signed up under, they are only to use them under orders passed down with deliberation in a war zone, not a school, not a neighborhood, not because they are ticked off.

Despite failures in the application of deadly force and theft, and other disclaimers to their regulation in the military, I suggest that civilians take the possession and use of guns just as seriously as soldiers and not as hobbies or status symbols.
