To paraphrase what someone else said, not original with me,

Blaming the gun for shootings is like blaming Ford or Chevy for drunk driving car crashes.

So would it be out of place, to have an event at a car lot, soon after a car crash? That’s the same logic here.

Never mind that it was a seventh grader with 2 pistols. a SEVENTH GRADER.

The media has gone completely silent on the shooter’s motives (the guns were his fathers) but has concentrated only on the NRA and the protests and hand-wringing “oh how can we stop this”

Well maybe if we started actually enforcing morality and reasoning in home and the schools again.

But they don’t even go after the guns now. They blame the NRA, so it is like blaming MADD after someone dies in a drunk driving crash.

Good analogy. I used it too on some idiot liberals, and they couldn’t grasp it. Then I took out a coloring book and drew...

Or like blaming Coors or Seagrams. (But some alleged 'conservatives' will do just that regarding drugs other than alcohol.)

I think I’ll chop off my junk so that Muslims will stop raping women.

Or blaming that 2 ft section of Fence Post that was used to beat my child to death. Or those shoelaces from a 8 yr old that was used to strangle her unconscious, after she was beat, RAPED, then strangled with her own shoelaces, tied in a dirty blanket, and thrown off a dock to drown. Perp still sits on Death Row, had 2 jury trials, still in State appeals since 1990.

I have both Grands and Great Grands, my guns go up when the smallest are around. Rest know better, and have been taught respect for guns, and target shoot too. My CCW gun goes on my hip, not in a purse.
