The woman and the children were not believed to have been the intended targets, police said. A gray van was seen leaving the scene. Police said street gangs have been feuding in the area but it was unclear what led to the shooting.

I'm not sure it was listening to me at the time.

Isn't anthropomorphizing inanimate objects fun? How does your car feel about the way the Fed is being run?

Or maybe it's just dumb as shit and an accurate reflection of the "intellect" involved?

Where do you think the "guilt, blame, and culpability" lie?

Those attributes belong to the user.
Rather silly to think they belong to an object.

Can you also convince people to vote out the manufacture for police, the military, both here and abroad?

Or it that just a pipe dream.

Realistic and sensible regulations are what we need to seek, anything else is a distraction.
