I call it, the redistribution of blame. The fact is shootings are awful. Gun murders are despised and often looked at differently than other murders. Guns are so very common and the ugly use made of them by the killers is burned into the minds of some folks. The idea that guns can be safe or benign or life-saving or even part of a hobby is a thought bridge that can't be crossed.

The conclusion for these folks is lock the connection between the instrument and the evil. By extension the owners of any of these instruments become partly to blame for any crimes, losses, accidents, suffering, injuries and deaths.
