And whose to say who is responsible and who isn't? In this particular case, the mother was the one who purchased the guns because the son was deemed irresponsible, yet he stole the guns from her... besides, I feel like you're commenting to Jester alone and ignoring everyone else. I said this, which I feel is very pertinent to your logic:
Quote:In the China incident, 22-children were stabbed, but non killed. In the Connecticut incident, 26-victims were murdered. The difference? Death. Guns not the issue?
Using your suggestions, more people would have guns than ever, and that would mean more guns stolen and more crimes committed with guns! Take out the gun equation and what do you have? 22-children stabbed, but alive! Get it? Now I'm still pro-gun, but your arguments for pro-gun are clearly not thought out, IMO.
