I'm a gun owner. I go to the range all the time, and meet and talk to people there. If someone I met at the range were to kidnap, rape, and kill my daughter, I wouldn't blame my participation in the range; I'd blame the soon-to-be-horribly-mutilated monster who would do such a thing.
However, you bet your life that the nation's chatterbox activist groups would scream their heads off that gun ranges should be illegal because they contribute to a "culture of violence", and would use my membership in a gun range as some kind of contributing factor to the crime. "If only that gun range didn't exist, then the victim's father would never have met the perpetrator, and his daughter would still be alive."
Well, I wouldn't necessarily meet such a monster at a sex club or a gun range. I might meet him at my grocery store. Or at my synagogue. Or he might be a co-worker. Bad people exist everywhere, and they aren't restricted in their hobbies or interests.
So, my stance on this isn't complicated. I don't care about adults hooking up with each other at sex clubs (or nightclubs, or coffee shops, or wherever). I do care about murder, especially the murder of children, doubly especially when it's coupled with kidnapping and rape. This really shouldn't be very confusing.
well put.
You'll excuse me for not taking your "I do care about murder, especially the murder of children, doubly especially when it's coupled with kidnapping and rape" very seriously then.
