But you see.. just from the few comments already. We joke about the foolishness of trying to regulate weapons. The weapons do not need the regulation it is the person using them. And in that lies the problem. Our society has turned tothe "not your fault" age. Listen to commercials, politicians, teachers, even your children.
Are you over weight.. well its not your fault. Take our pill, eat a sensible diet, and exercise and you will loose weight. If you ate sensible and exercised, you would not need their pills. But its nice to know its not your fault. After all McDonald's makes them burgers, and your car drives you there, and your wallet orders the double over sized meal. Thank goodness its not our fault.
Your kid in school can't sit still and misbehaves.. well its not his fault. He needs medication. Heaven forbid he gets some structure at home, or a diet low in sugars to calm him down. Granted there are some cases that do need medication. But there are a lot more that just need a parent.
A person commits a crime with a gun or in this case a knife... well its not your fault. If society had not made it so easy for you to get your hands on that gun or knife you would not have committed the crime, so regulate the weapon. Instead pickup a rock and smash the persons head in. Then we can regulate rocks. This regulation has to be the dumbest thing I ever heard. But that is how people calm the masses. We as a society are offended by someone killing with a weapon.. well its not really our fault... is it
Next time someone says the slippery slope aregument is silly..
