One more time, with feeling....

And I have not said this before, but it is so appallingly obvious:

It is not the guns, it is the people! Wake up, Christine. While there is all this wailing about which gun and what is it capable of (Let's go hurt the NRA again and the world will be safe when it is impossible for anyone to obtain a gun legally, repeat, repeat), that school was full of bombs and a child can learn how to build an atomic bomb--let alone conventional bombs and Molotov cocktails--and get all the materials to do so with a bit of ingenuity.

If people want to kill one another, they are going to do it. Whether they garotte from stealth or blow up schools, they are going to do it. Guns are not the problem except in small tragedies of misuse by the unknowing. In other cases, the violence is already there; the weapon is the one at hand, whether it be a bludgeon, a gun, or a bomb.
