Every single gun-apologist, 2nd amendment defender is ethically culpable. Period!
Having a gun is not the problem. Wanting the gun is because desire is the root of all action, good and bad.

Defending un-infringed gun ownership as the better moral choice in America today is a selfish, morality-malignancy.
The gun is a metastasized malignant-tumor in the human soul and gun defenders are the cause of the cancer, or at least for denying life saving measures in the USA.

So shoot your best absolutist apologia for the status quo, I care not. People with guns kill people. Other tools can be used but this latest 2nd amendment celebration demonstrates that the gun wielder is the problem and the wielding of guns MUST BE STOPPED!
