The problem with that argument is that you could replace "gun" above with just about anything else........baseball bat, knife, hockey stick, hammer, etc, etc, etc......and doing that doesn't change what the root problem is at all. It's like every time the media and morons say "gun violence". Guns aren't violent........not even a little bit. They just sit there, and they'll continue to sit there forever NOT being violent........until someone picks them up........and that's where the problem lies.......with the individual. And that problem is still a problem regardless of what they "pick up".
Guns, baseball bats, knives, hockey sticks, hammers, etc, etc are NOT the problem. As usual........people are the problem. And not all people.......like everything else the media and liberals like to use to create a crisis.......less than 1% of all those people are the problem. Yet they over react about everything to punish, restrict, and take the rights away from the 99% while the 1% continues in their life of crime regardless what the government does to the 99%......and then they want to release them all from prison while they're at it. You couldn't make this stuff up while on the worst acid trip ever known to man. That's how ridiculous it's all become.
