GUNS DON'T KILL PEOPLE, OR DO THEY?

[F.U.]

Yeah... people that ride motorcycles without a helmet should be alive to learn from their mistakes, kids that play on train tracks should be alive to learn from their mistakes, and kids that OD on drugs should be alive to learn from their mistakes. That doesn't mean I blame motorcycles, trains, or drugs for their death.

People -- including police officers -- are not mechanical. People have judgment and decision-making powers, unlike motorcycles and trains and cars.

That is exactly right. People have to use better judgment when dealing with mechanical objects. We cant blame the object, just the person and their stupidity is to blame.
As a child you were told, Don't run with scissors. But if you did and got hurt with them it was your stupidity, not the floor or the scissors fault.

Are you comparing a child's judgment and decision-making skills to a trained police officer's, F.U.? That's what we were talking about.

If you've veered from the police-officer analogy and on to the general public: Are you really so programmed as to continue to suggest that a 4-year-old is responsible for a fatality caused when he/she gets a hold of a loaded firearm; that the death is a result of the child's own stupidity, rather than the adult gun-owner's negligence?

No, I guess I missed the police part of it. My mistake. Disregard my comments until you get back on track with the, We need more gun laws because guns kill, topic.
