evil men, using the instruments of evil

Yet another brain-dead reference to guns as something inheirently evil.

Grow up. People are wholly responsible for the evil that they do. Inanimate objects do not have volition, and therefore cannot be either evil or good. A gun is no more an "instrument of evil" than a hammer, a rope, or a knife. Or a toilet, for that matter, should the perp decide to drown his victim.

I grow weary of gun-control advocates who think that we are stupid enough to be swayed by these propoganda tactics.

Tell it to Ed.. I'm not the "States rights" gun control advocate around here. I argue with them every day at FR.
The place has become lousy with them.
