You have to first ask yourself why you are using the tool, and of course very often the reason you use the tool can only be judged by history.
M: How sad that a human being can grow to adulthood, you are an adult, no, and be able to say with a straight face and seriously that torture is a tool like a gun.
Surely you are emotionally dead.
Torture is an act of will. A gun is a thing. They are not the same thing in any way. A gun has no will and can't do or be evil, but a human who tortures is a piece of shit, a worthless piece of slime. A person who tortures is a deep coward who has no faith in or understanding of the meaning of life. History can't change what is absolute.
I could not agree more about the torturers, though your gun argument is simplistic, but technically accurate.
