if some creep locks himself into a Lu by's cafeteria and decides to kill everyone with a baseball bat, will there be an uproar over baseball bats?

any discussion of gun control over this massacre detracts from the tragedy and the pain and the sickness and the BLAME that lies in that fucking ridiculous dead fucker.

see, it's not a matter of there being a line or not, but where do you draw the line. for you, assault rifles should have limited access, for others, they are a god-given right.

it's simply that some people have a lower threshold of tolerance for weapons of destruction. things that are made for killing. sure you can kill with anything, but there's the question of the intent in making that tool. you can kill with a baseball bat but the thing is not designed & perfected for that function. a gun is.

you know there's a line; where that line lies is a cultural debate, not a philosophical one.
