Not saying I wouldn't still keep the bat. But honestly, I'm sort of a pacifist as far as guns are concerned. I don't see them being necessary for most people in a modern society. (Yeah, I understand the whole "we need them to defend us from a evil government or criminals" argument. I'm not looking to get into a debate about it.)

Also, Using a bat is more heinous than a gun? What society are you from? Someone can be subdued but not killed with a bat, but a gun puts them down for good.
