Nope, no break.
I blame the Perp every time, not the Tool he chose to commit his Evil act.
The guy tossed in a couple of smoke grenades before he entered. He could just as well thrown in a couple of Molotov Cocktails and Burned 100 People to death instead of killing 12.
The killer is responsible for killing, not the gun. I’m not disputing that.
I’m simply saying that because this mother lost her child less than twenty-four hours before to a shooter is a good reason for me to give her a pass for not liking guns right now.
