Talk like this really irritates me in that it buys into the logic that an item is responsible for any resulting behavior using that item. I’ve posted it before and I’ll say it again, you can create more carnage and terror with a gallon of gas in a crowded facility than a gun can create. Are we to place age limits for the purchase of gasoline or the number of gallons you can purchase? Will you nerd a permit to purchase or have to endure a waiting period to fill your lawnmower? Is gasoline availability causing bad behavior? Portray such attacks in movies or video games and my guess is that it would become a weapon of choice. My take: It’s the individual and culture, not the object used.

Exactly. 87 people were murdered this way in 1990 in NYC: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Happy_Land_fire
I’m sure that the gun-grabbing Leftists were congratulating themselves that the nutcase in that incident didn’t use a gun...as if that made any difference to the victims or their families.
