“Guns don’t kill people, people do,” an NRA member would say in defence of the Second Amendment. Although we may doubt the relevancy of this saying in the gun control debate, it is somewhat difficult to deny its plausibility. Moreover, plausible it remains if we apply these words in the history of warfare. Until present days it has always been people who thrust a sword, shoot an arrow, pull a trigger, release bombs or launch a guided missile. Weapons and military technology, in general, have always had a tremendous effect on the human ability to fight wars and kill other people. Nonetheless, is it only people who act in this story?
