Baths kill more Japanese then guns kill Americans

124. Design and intended purpose of the tool used is entirely irrelevant

which the example of Karst Tates proves quite effectively.

"Your naive argument demands that we all ignore the simple fact that tools are designed for a purpose."

Design purpose is, to repeat the term, irrelevant. I have provided an example of a tool being deliberately used for a purpose beyond it's designed intent to cause death and injury.

"Mr. Would-be Assassin DID NOT succeed in his stated goal, did he? Care to answer why?"

Again irrelevant, 6 persons lost their lives. Are you suggesting the families of the victims should take solace in the fact he did not achieve his stated goal?

Let me derail your analogy once and for all here,...

You've derailed nothing. You simply manufactured a scenario in which your attempt fails. I can imagine quite a few in which it succeeds. However, I don't need to. The casualties created by Tate's attack with his car proves the point well enough.

"the moment I become untrustworthy WHAT TOOL WILL I SELECT FOR THE JOB?"

God knows what tool you may select in that moment. Are you suggesting premeditation and pre-planning ALWAYS exist prior to a violent act?

"The answer, just like guns is that you can trust me right up to the moment you can't then it is too late."

In other words, you can't prove the "trustworthy" nature of yourself that you demand of others.

"As usual, you try ANOTHER failed analogy because your reasoning skills are weak."

Uh, no. The only failure present in this conversation is any substantive, reliable proof that you will not use your vehicle as a weapon to harm others without justifiable reason. Proof, apparently, that you require of others.
