How is it that you are against gun laws but you want to blame people for using an inanimate object that is meant for one purpose, killing?

So it isn't the gun that accidentally goes off or is used intentionally to kill. It isn't the weapon that is more likely to cause death than any other inanimate object. But it isn't the people so there's no reason for gun laws.

It's an act of god that some asswipe takes a weapon into a theater and shoots and kills some guy for using a cell phone. It is just mother nature that made some crazy m-f'er shoot up a theater full of people. It's Buddha that causes children to pick up weapons and kill another child or themselves when mommy or daddy leave a weapon lying around.

All death is preventable? I hope you write up your findings in every reputable medical journal. Can you write up how we stop aging too?
