So, do you think I support gun control, or anything like that? I most certainly do not. The reason I put what I did in quotes is that is what leftwingers would say...and they'd be wrong.NotRPB wrote:K.Mooneyham wrote:Well, nice to see folks misunderstand the intent of what I was getting at.

Besides the important things you pointed out, I'd like to add one more. The killer didn't use a firearm, so maybe "the system" worked in that regard. However, he WANTED to harm/kill other people, and he still found a way to do that, despite not having a firearm. Which, IMHO, just confirms that it isn't the weapon, but the intent of the person using it, that matters.

Notice the focus is on what a good, normal person he was. No mention of the knife outside of the title, and every other instance mentioning the violent act is called an "attack" not a stabbing. If a gun had been used, you can bet that the type of gun and the fact that it was a shooting would have been all over the article.
@Dale Blanker - this is exactly why the Statesman is not the wonderful unbiased source of information that you seem to think it is.
