More knee-jerkery following a tragedy.
A gun is an inanimate object designed to fire a projectile--the manner in which the gun is used is up to the individual--be it target practice, hunting, hammering in nails, or attacking others. If an individual acts in an irresponsible manner with his gun, why should all of the responsible owners be punished as a result?
To make it relevant to this board, consider this:
A 911 Turbo driver does 150 in heavy traffic, loses it and crashes into 2 busloads of nuns and orphans--killing them all--suddenly there is an outcry for banning all 911 turbos because of the actions of an irresponsible owner.
You, as a 911 turbo owner, protest, "I never do 150 in heavy traffic with my car", this protest is answered with the argument--"but your car has the POTENTIAL to do 150 in heavy traffic, so it must be banned"
Doesn't make sense does it?
