Is making effective weapons evil?

Given the history of US military adventurism and that we’re about to start another completely unjustified war of aggression against Iran, yes. Absolutely yes.

A weapon is a tool.

Whether they are good or evil depends on the hands that hold it.

In good hands, weapons provide defense, deterrence, and protection.

In bad hands, weapons hurt the innocent, instill fear, and oppress.

The hands that wield them make all the difference.
