12. As our current administration has shown.

Words, especially lies, that are spread far and wide can cause a hell of a lot more deaths than one idiot with a weapon.

14. 'Now — scissors cut everything, don't they?'

9. Cause The Sword Kills A Few. One Stroke Of The Pen By Our Dolt Leader Could Do Far More Damage.
Yeah, I was probably s'posed to put somethin funny and all, but that's what came into my head. :)

10. I thought actions spoke louder than words.
That means that the pen is still mightiest, but actions talk a big game.

18. You can carry a pen anywhere without question
Whereas, it's harder to hide a sword in your pocket.
