[QUOTE="fustigate, post: 2052407, member: 18799"] Really glad to read your post (well, I mean, it sucks you and others got shot, but my point is I was glad to read your perspective). It's a curious reaction that we see after a shooting (especially several in such a short amount of time). We've seen when someone loses a loved one to a drunk driver. They don't go after the car manufacturer; they don't go after the alcohol manufacturer (and their vast marketing)/distributor/seller; they don't go after the state for issuing that person a drivers license. Instead, they try to prevent others from driving drunk. They don't try to stop people from driving. They (usually) don't try to stop others from buying/consuming alcohol. But when someone is shot by some berserker, the victims, families, and (most especially!) politicians go after [I]everyone else's[/I] guns. [/QUOTE]
