No, a gun is designed to withstand the pressures of expanding gasses
so that those gasses can propel a bullet down the barrel. A bucket my
be used to carry water or oil or whet ever else - all of which can
kill. Some thing a bucket might carry are designed to kill as well,
are the buckets that are designed to carry those things designed to
kill?

I am not trying to conclude anything like that. I'm stating the FACT
that both a gun and a bucket or inanimate objects with no will or
intent of their own. Do you dispute that somehow?

> A gun makes easier to kill people

Have you ever killed anyone? I haven't, so I can't say that for sure.
Any view on this subject would be completely subject, to the point of
being pointless.

Yes. Killing an attacker will stop the attack.

Do you know of any person or group of persons that wear Kevlar vests
but don't carry guns?
