True, if he wants me dead. But, if he's just pissed off and wants to
hurt someone, and if he has a baseball bat, I might end up with a
broken arm, several broken ribs and concussion. He might strike a
couple of times and vent his anger, and decide that he had enough. I
might not even be seriously hurt, just in pain and temporarily knocked
out. But, if he has a gun and squeezes the trigger a coupla times just
to vent his anger, well, figure it out. Besides, I probably could
dodge a baseball bat but I can't dodge bullets, at least when there's
any kryptonite around. ;)

You might be surprized at how many deaths could have been avoided if
the angry guys were left with just fists to sort it out.
