[alicebot-aiethics] Guns

[Dr. Richard S. Wallace]

To set the record straight, although I believe in the sacred rights of the
2nd Amendment, I have never personally owned, nor do I plan to possess, any
firearms of any kind whatsoever, nor will I ever use firearms to threaten
anyone or in any way intimidate them.  I have never been trained in the use
of firearms.  I would not even use a toy gun in an illusory way to create
the impression of using a gun.  I would not even use language like, "holding
a gun to our heads", "shooting yourself in the foot", or "gunning for them",
because the language could be misinterpreted to create the impression that I
was trying to intimidate someone.
