ok, one more post to come back and stir the pot.
yay hypothetical situations to point out faulty logic:
a man is shot in the stomach. he does not 'drop dead' immediately but instead continues to briefly struggle, hangs on for a while, loses a bunch of blood, slips in and out of consciousness and dies a couple hours later.
he did not drop dead from the gunshot wound and therefore getting shot did not cause his death. you could say instead that he died from blood loss. therefore, guns don't kill people and guns should be considered less than lethal force. fire arms are now acceptable to use on suspects who are not posing a threat but not complying.
