Born to carry a gun, though you say not (6)
I believe the answer is:
negate
'you say not' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this defines the answer.
'born to carry a gun' is the wordplay.
'born' becomes 'nee' ('nee' is 'born' in French).
'to carry' indicates putting letters inside.
'a gun' becomes 'gat' (US informal term for a gun).
'nee' enclosing 'gat' is 'NEGATE'.
'though' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for negate that I've seen before include "Age ten (anag)" , "Make invalid" , "disallow!" , "Discredit" , "Nullify - deny the existence of" .)
