[quote=@Tuujaimaa] Let's compare the two scenarios side by side: A gun is drawn. -> The gun is aimed. -> The gun is fired. -> The bullet travels at its stated feet per second, giving you no reaction time. A sword is drawn. -> The sword is aimed. -> The sword-wielder moves to melee range. -> The sword wielder attacks. Do you understand the disparity? [/quote] Quit poking at that poor metaphor and actually address melon's point about not letting them have their gun pointed at you instead if you want to instigate an actual discussion.
