"The popular National Rifle Association defense “Guns don’t kill people, people kill people” leaves out a key technicality: it’s the bullets that do the killing."

There they go again! It's not the Guns or the Bullets --People kill other people!!

Well, if you want to be technical, it is the massive blood loss that does the killing. That blood loss comes from the hole in the body. That hole comes from the bullet. The bullet comes from the gun (very quickly, I might add). The gun comes from the person who obtained it, loaded it, carried it, drew it, aimed it, and pulled the trigger. The inanimate objects (the gun and the bullets) do not know if they way they are being used is legitimate. Only the person does, therefore, only the person should be punished for any unlawful act.

Unfortunately, liberals don't have the requisite IQ points to figure this out, and they blame the inanimate objects... and punish the innocent with their "solutions".
