Geez, ya think?!?!?
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.
The use of the word "but" usually indicates that everything preceding it in a sentence is a lie.
E.g.:
"I believe in Freedom of Speech, but". . .
"I support the Second Amendment, but". . .

There used to be a great cutlery shop in down town Chicago (Otto Pomper, Inc.). They had a knife like that Wenger, except larger, and with more implements.
It was handmade by the grandfather or great-grandfather of the current owners. It was a required test to be certified a master cutler by the German guild.
