Will you listen to yourself?

Guns don't kill people. People kill people.

Cars don't kill people. Drunk drivers kill people.

It's about responsible use. It's about knowing where to draw the line. It's about realistic approaches to real problems.

But you wouldn't know about any of that. You're too busy adhering to an inconsistent group of prejudices.
