Anglican Head Rowan Williams Backs Gun Control in US

The outgoing Archbishop of Canterbury, Rowan Williams, talked about the recent Sandy Hook shooting in Newtown, Conn., discounting the argument put forward, including by many Christians in the United States, that "it's not guns that kill, it's people."

"People use guns. But in a sense guns use people, too. When we have the technology for violence easily to hand, our choices are skewed and we are more vulnerable to being manipulated into violent action," the leader of the world's 80 million-strong Anglican Communion said, delivering BBC Radio 4's "Thought for the Day" on Saturday.

After the terrific job he did with the Church of England, of course I will follow Rowan Williams' brilliance on the issue of gun control/sarc

[driftdiver]

And I support the public tar and feathering of the outgoing Archbishop of Canterbury.

[JRandomFreeper]

When we have the technology for violence easily to hand,

Because fertilizer and fuel oil can't kill more people much easier.

He ain't no Jesuit.

Stuff it, Redcoat.

People in the UK would pay no more attention to the CoE than Americans do if it weren’t for complaining about the costs. The arch-shaman needs to remind people he is still there. He won’t accept that his chief job is to serve as a mascot and period character at tourist attractions like Canterbury Cathedral, something like the Mickey people at Disney World.

[ReformationFan]

Perhaps he and his fellow redcoat Piers Morgan can form their own country somewhere?

This is the fool that also advocates accommodating sharia law. What has happened to the UK?

[Boogieman]

Well, I back Rowan Williams control in England, so there :P

[MasterGunner01]

Perhaps the Church of England should consider burning the heretic witch, Dr. Rowan Martin, at the stake like was done in the old days? Or, better, turn him over to the Muslims for Sharia “justice” that’s all the rage in the UK judicial and elite circles these days. Just a thought.

Come and take them, Limey.

[Little Ray]

Hey, there is reason we shot their sorry bums, enlisted all the help we could get, and kicked them out of the Colonies.

[Lee N. Field]

“shove it, brit.”

[Liberty Valance]

LOL - *ouch*

[youngidiot]

Sorry a**holes, we have the 2nd amendment and no ex post facto laws. The hundreds of millions of guns we already have aren’t going anywhere - mine certainly aren’t.

" . . . being manipulated into violent action, . . ."

Arguable. Many would say, including myself, that bullets are quicker, cleaner, and more humane than any other kind of violence designed to separate the body from the soul.

Certainly a helluva less traumatic and less violent than the bathing of the blood and guts of the victims the crazies bathe themselves in the during the execuation of their ritualistic mayhem while muttering some stupid mantra to their dog that removes their consciences from the act they are performing.

"People use guns. But in a sense guns use people, too. When we have the technology for violence easily to hand, our choices are skewed and we are more vulnerable to being manipulated into violent action,"

So guns can manipulate people? As a side note I've been to Canterbury and heard a Williams' Christmas Day sermon. Jesus was mentioned maybe once. The whole sermon was man-centered liberal feel-good nonsense. I was astounded how on Christmas Day he could avoid the name Jesus.

“I was astounded how on Christmas Day he could avoid the name Jesus.”

It’s amazing how many liberals(including liberal clergymen) do.

[Cicero]

Probably he would think that the guns should be condemned to Hell—if he believed in Hell.

I wonder what foreign entity or person Adam Lanza bent over backwards to protect by destroying (allegedly) his computer hard drive? 9/11 was a mission perpetrated by American residents and masterminded by a man in Afghanistan. Who and where is Sandy Hook's mastermind? Hmmm?

Very odd that it turns out Nancy Lanza had no connection whatsoever to Sandy Hook elementary school, WE WERE REPEATED TOLD BY MULTIPLE NEWS OUTLETS that Adam killed those children 'probably because his mother loved those kids more than him'.

But..

"Despite earlier reports that Nancy Lanza, mother of shooter Adam Lanza, was a teacher at Sandy Hook Elementary School, new details are emerging that suggest otherwise. CNN, The Wall Street Journal, and several other news outlets are reporting now that Nancy Lanza may not have had any connection to the school where the shootings took place. Janet Vollmer, a kindergarten teacher at Sandy Hook Elementary, told CNN that Lanza was not a teacher there. Lillian Bittman, a former school board official, said “no one has heard” of Lanza and that “teachers don’t know her.” Talking Points Memo reports that Lanza is not listed on the Newton School District Website. TPM also notes the origin of the misinformation may have been an AP story which quoted law enforcement officials “speaking on the condition of anonymity” about Lanza’s possible connection to school."

Question: What type of massacre would result in maximum outrage by the populus against guns and gun owners and even convert some gun owners into being anti-gun?
Answer: A mass murder of young children in a school classroom.

Could the motive of the Sandy Hook killings been to evoke maximum outrage against guns and gun owners for the purpose of GOVERNMENT JUSTIFICATION FOR a gun ban in the United States? Could this massacre have had nothing to do with 'revenge' or anger? Why would the killer resort to going to a school and killing children because he was "angry about being committed to a mental hospital?"

And here's more food for thought, regarding this incident:

Dear Rowan. Please shut up and retire — and then go off and die somewhere quickly. What a loser!
