But is a spoon more dangerous than a gun?
Depends if the gun is loaded or not.
You also have to look at it this way.
Situation 1:
Spoon vs unarmed innocent kid = spoon thrusted into neck or eye (with chance of seeing it coming and preventing it)
Situation 2:
gun (with ammo) vs unarmed innocent kid = projectile entering the body causing damage to internal organs (perhaps the brain) (with chance of missing and being knocked down)
Both are capable of killing someone. Just because the gun will beat a spoon in a fight, doesn't mean it's more dangerous. You have to consider that this most likely wont be a fight between the two weapons, rather, someone armed and with intentions of killing against someone (possibly unaware) who is unarmed and with intentions of having a normal daily life.
