@chanesteiner Said "inanimate objects" empower said mentally disturbed with the means to take others' lives. Why is that incomprehensible?
-
-
@emlynaddison Because the mentally disturbed will find other inanimate objects. Their disturbance is the problem, not the objects.
-
@chanesteiner This is a _fundamental_ misinterpretation. Killing rampages aren't accomplished with knives, batons, poison or cars. -
@emlynaddison But, they would be if you successfully took guns away from people as happened before guns existed.
-
@chanesteiner I think this is fallacious thinking. How do you kill 26 Newtowners, then take your own life, in 5 minutes--without a gun? -
@emlynaddison One could drive a car into a crowd of people and easily kill more than that in less time.
-
@chanesteiner Utterly wrong. Sorry. And it guarantees nothing as a method of suicide for the driver. Remember, they need an easy exit. -
@emlynaddison Anything can be used as a weapon. Don't forget about a couple planes that flied into buildings killing over 3,000.
-
@chanesteiner And guns would not have averted that event. - 4 more replies
