re: #227 ObserverArt

That entry sounds like I dismissed, rather than embraced gun control first. Of course the gun made it easier to kill.

OTOH in sporting places like a skeet range the guns abound an nobody gets hurt unless they shut a finger in a door. Go to a place with no guns at all but in a bunch of violent predatory or angry men and you still made a dangerous mistake.

The access to the tools and the motivation to do harm are both well deserving of our efforts as a culture. Thanks to dangerous rhetoric put out by the NRA and breathlessly repeated in the click bait ratings cycle, this becomes a more difficult point to make than it needed to be.
