Hail, time traveler! Welcome to the World of Tomorrow! I will give you a brief introduction on some important changes in society that have occurred since your time:
Believe it or not, a black man is president of the United States now. We have computers so small that they fit in the palm of your hand. The top 14% of Americans own almost 75% of the wealth and have devastated the economy over the past half decade. The average income of a worker has remained about the same since your time, but the average CEO now makes 350 times the average worker. With so much wealth being sequestered among the super rich instead of being shared among the middle class where it would be used to keep the economy going, the US is on the verge of a complete financial collapse.
Welcome!

Yes, shooting implies a gun, or some type of projectile, like an arrow or a rock from a slingshot but shooting != killing.

the French surrender.
People using guns kill. People using knives kill. People driving cars kill. People using piano wire kill. People using rocks, sticks, baseball bats, frying pans, pillows, rolling pins and poison kill. The objects themselves do not kill, they can be used to kill.
Let's think about this for a second.
If you take down your missiles for a parade thus rendering them unable to be used , and your enemy has the knowledge of the parade, can you guess when your enemy will attack?
for the first part of your opening sentence.
Learn to internet, please.
