I read the article.
I understand it quite well.
The individual was responsible for the crime.
Not the inanimate object.
Punish the inidividual.
Don't give in to the temptation to blame the inanimate object, and empower a tyranny in an attempt to control it.
Think.
Too late. I would have agreed with you back about 10, maybe 20 years ago. But now they are holding people indefinitely without even charging them with a crime, seizing property without needing to prove any crime, and are immune from punishment if they gun down the wrong people.
Just like the former Soviet Union.
