Of course I would still think that guns are inanimate objects that require someone with an agenda to pick them up. Truth doesn't change because my circumstances did, in your scenario.Would you still think that if it were your partner, parent or child that was killed?
And why is it that societies try to restrict bomb making materials or chemical weapons if bombs themselves are not the problem?
The programmed numbness of society to gun deaths - and rationalisations such as above - or shifting the blame elsewhere- in my view is the problem.
Gun deaths need putting into context.
Gun deaths are similar order to breast cancer deaths .So should congress stop research into cancer since it costs a huge sum of money and the fatality rates are low enough to be just one of those things?
Should research stop into vehicle safety - since that death rate is similar too?
Clearly not. The death rate is too high.
There is nothing wrong with restricting dangerous chemicals, especially if the same kind of nut jobs who are suddenly killing people decide to use them in that way, and it has happened. That has always been the case. And the 2nd Amendment does not protect the right of a person to retain dangerous chemicals. This is an inappropriate comparison.
The blame rests squarely on the ones who are increasingly perpetrating damage with guns, cars, bombs, knives whatever they can use. We have to figure out as a society how we have failed the kids. Was it adultery, divorce, families failing etc, so kids were raised basically without parental figures and in daycare by paid caregivers? Was it a society that got away from God and His commandments? Is it the poisoned food, water, or massive chemicals in everything that altered them? All of them? What the heck is going on? We need to find out.
