5 Dead 40 Injured in Waukesha Wi.

[The Architect Of Fate]

The guns don' t need inspection..the guns work fine.


There has not been a rash of faulty guns not working as designed.


There has been a whole bunch of faulty USERS.

Only the faulty ones need inspection...

Hold the phone there buckeroo. Are you saying only the faulty guns need inspection or the faulty people? IE another way of voicing one of the most fatuous slogans  ever invented by the NRA: "Guns don't kill people, people kill people?

Here it's been people with guns who have killed people. Take away the guns and people stop being killed by guns. Excepting police shootings of course. Between 1992 and 2011 there have been 92 police shootings in Australia.

My favorite criticism that stupid slogan is this 

The “guns don’t kill people” argument is flawed because it sidesteps the debate. The issue is not whether guns can spontaneously kill people on their own. The issue involves how incredibly easy a modern weapon makes killing. Both anecdotes and statistics help illustrate this point.

Gun loons are desperate to shift the blame onto people. They tried to blame violent video games, the mentally ill, taking prayer out of school. Of course, all of those blame shifts failed. Now the "failed one" is more and more nebulous. But one thing that has not changed is the gun.
