A *disarmed* person can at least theoretically re-arm themselves by getting
another weapon, and even in a war zone like Baghdad *still* has a 80% or 90%
chance of being alive a year later.  A *dead* person is usually pretty much out
of options and will *still* be 100% dead a year later.

Conflating the two merely indicates you don't understand the very real
distinction between them.
