Well I might not be explaining myself very well - I'm not saying there is an INTENTION to use guns to kill, but that ultimately there has to be that POSSIBILITY. Police don't carry guns to shoot tree branches and thereby save stranded kittens, they are tools that allow the escalation of legitimate force to injury or death. Obviously the less that this final escalation has to happen, the better, but that threat has to - and does - exist.
