If guns cannot be evil, how can they be valiant?


I recently inherited several of my grandfather's NRA "American Rifleman" videos. The title of one is: "Guns of Valor".

Now my question is this:

If guns cannot be evil, because they are inanimate objects, then how can they be valiant?

I have also argued that guns cannot be evil.

Mr. NRA Video Title Picker Person, I would suggest renaming the video from Guns of Valor to something more in line with our philosophy, such as:

Guns used by valiant men

Or:

Guns used by men during acts of valor

Or:

Tools of the valiant

Or:

Some guns used by valiant men, a few of whom survived to tell this tale.

Imagine how pissed the NRA would be if the Brady campaign issued a video called:

Guns of Evil



Speaking of guns of evil, here they are in reverse order:

10: Walther P22 - it wears out too quickly
9: Desert Eagle .44 Mag - So goofy that it is evil.
8: The Gun of Muhymin
7: Bersa Thunder .45 -Ejects brass into your eyballs. Bad Carry Choice, unless you are already blind.
6: CZ-52 - I know that none of you can disagree with this one.
5: SAR-1 - Trigger slap
4: Mini 14 - Should be a tack driver, but.... it's like the anti-gun of Muhymin
3: S&W Lemon Squeezer - 15 lb trigger pull
2: Saiga 12 Gauge - See reason for # 6
1: Kel-Tec P-3AT - Most likely to be put in your pocket because it's so small you don't need a holster, so that when you need it you either kneecap or castrate yourself.

The other poorly titled NRA video that I inherited is named:

10 guns that changed the world.

Don't even get me started.
