scalpel, or bible, are both better choices for that. Guns just leave a hole that wants to be filled with more. Sometimes the hole gets infected though, turns bad. Has to be cut out, evil-dead style.
Filling a hole with a chainsaw doesn't really reduce your degeneracy, just makes it harder to pull a trigger. Never ending cycle, you see? Read your bible; God may help your soul. /k/ is a magical place, not a spiritual place, if you see the difference. And magic is as the sin of rebellion. I think, maybe I'm remembering it wrong.
