Gun control is mostly an attempt to gain power through a false agenda. To many, it appeals by removing individual responsibility.

Guns can’t be evil. They are inanimate objects.

It’s the predators that are evil. And guns are good for killing predators.

Marxist Regimes tend to emplace gun control, right before the mass executions. Luckily we are a democracy.

Marxism is evil, and has cause the murder of over one hundred million people in the twentieth century. So lets make Marxism illegal.

I think his example needs to be examined further. That is, while the football player committed the violent acts, to a great extent for many years he was brought up to be both violent and aggressive—a common thing among football players.

In his case, even in high school he was a violent bully, and his football training in no way diminished that, in fact, it probably heightened it. Such men can’t be expected to just “turn it off”, and even during football games the occasional player goes on a small violent rampage of “unnecessary roughness.”

So instead of focusing on either the gun or the individual, I see him as the end product of aggression conditioning, just like a pit bull dog used for dog fighting. While the dog might be naturally aggressive, it is the fault of its trainers when it loses control.

Remove all guns from the law-abiding public and only politicians and criminals will have access to them.

Then take a look at Switzerland where there is a gun in almost every home. Of course, the Swiss are extremely blessed by not being a member of the fascist UN.

Evil are those that relentlessly work to shred our constitution.

Evil are those that would rather I simply fall, without defense, at the hands of others that would want to kill me or my loved ones.

just substitute any other tool in place of “gun”. Hammer. Knife. Scalpel. Laser. Drill. Saw. Fork. Hand weight. Soda can.

You soon realize anything can be a deadly weapon, all that is required at evil intent. INTENT is everything, because millions of people carry every day and they don’t murder anyone.
