I'm wary of stuff that puts the onus of responsibility on people that aren't directly responsible. The person who shot the other person is to blame, not some chain of events that led up to whatever occurred. If it's the chain of events, see, there's potentially never an end to it. I think a lot of my bias stems from the religious beliefs I hold. Free will and whatnot. I prefer the "I'm responsible for my actions" "belief" over the "Jesus made me do it" (lol) variety. I say Jesus, because I just read the Lotus and the Cross, thanks to my Christian buddy (we have nice discussions about scripture and whatnot), and I'm not sure that's how the conversation would go down between B and J. :-) Anyways, "responsibility" is a heavy area... especially in a litigious society, right? :] Keep up the good fight, Adam! I too yearn for the day when those that love guns and those that hate guns can come together-- maybe the lovers holding the Mossbergs, and the haters throwing the clay?
