People want to pretend that he killed them telepathically. As though the tools these guys keep using to slaughter people is irrelevant.
The tools are almost irrelevant though. You can kill someone with your bare hands, your car, your peg leg, rope, sticks, electricity, frying pans, toasters, pillows, buzzsaws, chainsaws, sawzalls, forks, knives, baseballs, bats, chairs, chair legs, stress, piano wire, hammers, etc.
Banning guns does nothing to stop the violence though and that is a fact. Wanna know how you stop violence? You rule with an iron fist,
rule with violence. Oppress the people to extremes. Any insurrection is met with swift death and violence.
The government continually fails at curtailing various problems in this country whether its guns, poverty, terrible education, etc. Attempting to artificially equal the playing field goes against human nature.
