>..and if that gun did not exist or the person did not have it to begin with then none of this would of happened....period. 7 kids a day die in the USA from gunshots - 5 killed and 2 by suicide EVERY DAY.. Any attempt to rationalize that with ....well with anything ... does not fix the issue. I do not have a problem with a responsible gun owner having a gun - but unless you're a fortune teller and can see the future there is no way to determine who that is going to be. All these things happening at the hands of legal gun owners tells me that we simply need to get rid of the guns.
Here's where the only possible response is to remind you of the obvious....that knives can be deadline weapons, the combination of alcohol and driving is a deadly combination, a match-head of pure smack is a deadly drug....can you get rid of them?
