Mm, you can fixate on killing someone without using a gun.

You could use a knife, a rope, poison, there are any number of things you can use to kill someone.

Maybe that 93% just very specifically envisions harming others without guns!

Lol no, many of them are lying.

    Woodchipper, car bomb, garbage compactor, fire, a single large rock, multiple smaller rocks, open windows, closed windows and some force... The list goes on and on

    Update:

    • drum of boiling water
    • large cat exhibit at the zoo
    • thrown from a highway bridge
    • snake pit
    • drowning in a cesspool
    • explosive butt plug
    • fire ant
    • flying with Tom Hanks in a movie

    A bit exotic perhaps, but strapped to a rocket and hurled at a building.
