and what does that have to do with blaming an inanimate object, instead of the person using it?
I am not absolving him of the blame. But the gun made it easier or him. Everybody having guns has been proven not to work. Thousands of times a year.
Except in the U.S.....since the 1990s as more Americans own and actually carry guns, our gun murder rate went down 49%, our gun crime rate went down 75%, and our violent crime rate went down 72%......which blows a big bullet hole in your theory about people and guns......
And Americans use their legal guns 1.1 million times a year to save lives...from rape, robbery and murder......another fact that blows another bullet hole in your theory about guns.....
And yet you are many times safer in Western Europe than the US.
Do you think this fellow should have been allowed to own guns ?
Was he a criminal before he murdered his family? Should he have been allowed to walk around free before he murdered his family? Should he have been arrested before he murdered his family?
You advocate for a "Minority Report" world that can't exist.
Should those 1.1 million Americans who used their legal guns to stop violent rapes, robberies and murders been disarmed?
Do you prefer that a woman who stops a rape with a gun, be disarmed so that the rape can happen? I rape better than armed self defense? Is it better a woman is murdered or that she use a gun to stop it?
