Not necessarily. I've been hearing lately that there's some pretty strong evidence that a lot of the casual murders these days occur because someone happens to have a gun with them when they get peeved. Leave the gun at home and the same incident might (or might not) lead to a beating, but quite likely not to murder.

The problem is that it's a heckuva lot easier to kill someone with a gun than with pretty much any other weapon.
