Letter: Don't blame the gun, blame the shooter

It's not the car, it's the driver. It's not the arrow, it's the bowman. It's not the gun, it's the shooter.

Cars, arrows, guns, they're all inanimate, incapable of any action without an activator. So quit (illogically) blaming inanimate weapons and work on reducing the number of activators, because until we do we'll still have the same results.

So all you politicians, spend your time working on eliminating the true causes of this problem and leave cars, arrows and weapons alone.
