Somebody ALWAYS has an advantage. It's been that way since Og found a
sharp chunk of obsidian. The thing is, the weapon isn't the advantage;
it's the proclivity to use deadly force. A high percentage of people who
buy firearms for 'protection' didn't buy what they really need, the
willingness to kill. Even in battles between professional military units
a goodly number of the soldiers aren't aiming at anything in particular.
