A gun cannot be evil.
It is like saying a rock is evil. The user, the suppliers, the distributors n all can be evil or not, according to what it is used for.
Tho, guns are potentially dangerous tools, since they are mainly used to take lives or threaten people with its ability of taking lives and can lead to escalation.
So, there should be enough care and awareness on its use and ownership.

A rock is a rock. It’s there through natural happenstance and cannot control what a person will do with with it. A gun is a gun by design. A tool made specifically for the purpose of harming or killing another individual. Often bought and owned by people with fragile egos, or those who believe that have too much to fear, but never own by rational people.
