Blaming guns for this shooting, or any other, is like blaming spoons
for Rosie O'Donnell being fat.

When someone goes postal - I think a spoon would do far less damage

Spoons have done a great deal more damage than private guns do.

and is probably harder to buy.

Reductio ad absurdum.

How can less guns that are harder to get not make this better?

When someone causes mayhem by drinking and driving the reasonable
reaction is not to restrict sober people from driving.

Neither it is here.

A well-regulated militia being necessary for the defense of a free
state, you have the right to drive your car to the gun shop.

I have the right to do a good bit more than that, in fact.



Yes. Enjoy your freedom.
