As cavemen, when food was short, we'd bash grandma and grandad over the head and eat them. Little has changed in the few thousand years since, so yeah - can keep trying to be nice in the hope that evolution takes the hint, but I don't hold out much hope.

You are right. At the end of the day we are animals. Sure, we like to think we are more evolved and civilised than the rest of the animal kingdom, but are we really? Those who say "guns are terrible, we shouldn't want to kill another human being" may be right - when dealing with their own kind; but when dealing with a knife-wielding maniac who's high on drugs, are they still right? Or are they just stupid?
To put it simply, if I were put in a situation of "kill or be killed", I would have no hesitation in taking a life. Give me a gun and I would do it even quicker. Now, as violent crime is on the increase, the chances of my being in that situation might seem to be ever so slightly increasing...
