The gun violence episode was good as far as it went — which was to focus on criminal use of guns. But they could have gone farther. Violence committed with a gun is not necessarily a bad thing. If someone violently threatened and attacked you or your family, and if you were able to stop the attack with a firearm, your use of the firearm might be termed “gun violence” but it would be a good thing, not an evil action.

You are correct. Violence is neutral, like gravity. It may be used for good or evil.

"Gun violence" is an Orwellian term designed to move the focus to guns and away from action by people.
