When you are in a position of life or death I suspect you will pull the trigger that is if you have personal protection? I ain't talking about Trojan brand either...but be sure to shoot to kill because if they are armed they will kill you!

This is a debate of word usage, poetic license and common sense. Political factions, populated by wordsmithing lawyers and media use sentence construction to imply positive or negative feelings depending on their political agenda.
A gun being an inanimate object, doesnt protect you, you protect yourself using a gun. That is the proper wording and logic as the real wordl understands it.
If you take those words literally, it maybe be arguably true if certain word use assumptions are made. Even so, it would be a fail linguistically and logically. It is however, useful if you have an anitgun agenda and wish to sublimate guns negatively.
Writers shortcircuit the step by step because it is common knowledge that somone had to have a gun and pull the trigger.
In everyday language a headline may read, 'gun kills baby', but in reality we know the gun had to be retrieved, loaded, aimed and the trigger mechanism activated.
Same story when a gun is used for protection. Headline, "gun used to thwart robbers"
If you like to play with words and sentence structure you might be a writer, lawyer or politician. Marketing and PR jobs abound. In 2008, all dem front runners for prez and their wives were lawyers, except for Biden's wife. So when a lawyer tells you, 'you can keep your doctor. PERIOD!" you have no idea what he really meant.

A gun or shall I say an inanimate object doesnt protect you, you protect yourself. Guns dont protect people, people protect people
You anti-gun folks are becoming more and more unhinged and confusing by the day.
