People kill people, not guns

In the most post-analytical knee-jerk reaction to the Virginia tech massacre story the old NRA saying about "people killing people" as a defence against any law restricting the freedom to buy guns makes exactly the kind of sense one would expect of narrow-minded, self-centered, social bigots, which of course they have to be.

Now that I got you riled think that if Cho Seung-hui had been armed with a toothpick instead of an easily available semi-automatic, high-powered, handgun the death toll count might have been a little lower.

There is an adage that goes "we get the world we deserve" - the NRA has been sowing dragon's teeth through its lobbying for the best part of last century and this one is beginning to see the reaping of their toils.
