Come to my barn. We have rats a whole lot bigger than that!"...then as both stood outside Boy #2's barn, a huge rat, larger than any ever seen, runs out....Boy #2 shouts, "Did you see that?!".....to which Boy #1 responds, both eyes tightly closed and shaking his head, "Nope! I didn't see a thing!"....which is how the left is naively focused only on guns, refusing to consider or even address the motivating influences on those who commit acts of violence.
Nice story but you don't understand it. The one with his eyes closed is the one who thinks guns are beside the point. Guns don't kill people, they just enable every weakling the same opportunity for murder. Guns make it possible for every person suffering a psychotic break to inflict tremendous harm even in their debilitated state. So "no, of course guns have nothing to do with it" remains utter bull shit.
I only wish some nut job would sit down and plot ways to worsen our national obesity problem. In the end, at least that lunatic isn't firing three twinkies into our bodies per second at a speed of 1000 mph.
