Live by the sword, die by the sword, or so the good book says. More or less. Maybe he hadn't read that far yet.

Actually I have the crazy archaic notion that there is something intrinsically preferable about a bladed weapon that must be used all up close and personal, since I think if one is going to take it upon oneself to just up and kill another human being, one ought to have to be up close and personal (and ideally look the other person in the eye first) in order to do it.

But that assumes that the person wielding the weapon is actually the kind of person to whom that might make a difference, which - sadly - is often not the case.
