A gun is a tool, Marian; no better or no worse than any other tool: an axe, a shovel or anything. A gun is as good or as bad as the man using it. Remember that.

I once wrote a detailed 8 page lab report about "What burns on a Bunsen burner". I received a B+, because that had nothing to do with the assignment.
