"The fault lies with the coward shooter"

Without a access to a gun, the coward would not have been a "shooter" or able to kill as many, or maybe even any, children. Guns empower cowards as evidenced by the horrific number of mass killings carried out with guns. Of course you gun apologists can dredge up isolated cases of other weapons being used for attempts at mass killings but they are rare, and seldom result in mass deaths.

These false equivalency arguments (spoons don't make people fat, drunk driving accidents, etc.) are the result of having no real arguments to defend the easy availability of guns, and the lack of responsibility and accountability of some gun owners. That is about to change.

Whether you and your NRA buddies like it, or not, the American people have reached their tipping point, and the past atrocious "gains" by the NRA will be slowly reversed. Even the Heller decision recognized that the 2nd Amendment does not grant an absolute right to carry a gun anywhere, anytime, for any purpose. Reasonable gun regulation is an exercise in Constitutional freedoms and democracy as well, and the pendulum has begun to swing back toward sanity and reason.
