About This Quote

Many people use the phrase “a gun is the only thing that can kill you” to express that guns are capable of killing you. However, this statement is not entirely true. A person who is starving for food is still capable of thinking clearly even if he does not have access to food. However, he will become insane once his mind succumbs to starvation. When a person loses his mind due to starvation, he will do anything and everything he can to try and find food even though his body needs food to survive.
