A knife, a gun and a truck.  What could the common denominator possibly be?

Excellent comparison.  And what did the Nice government do?  Did they argue that trucks don't kills people, people kill people?

No, they installed bollards, barriers and changed the Bastille Day route to ensure this doesn't happen again.

Didn't the Nice government find it odd that this truck hadn't overwhelmed any of its previous drivers and launched on a murderous killing spree before?

I'm sure the bollards, barriers and route change will reduce (though not eliminate) the possibility of another occurrence on Bastille Day.  How will those changes help prevent a similar attack on any other day, at any public gathering, sports event, busy city street crosswalk, etc.?

The point of my post is that the tool used for the killing is not to blame, the blame goes to the person who used the knife, gun, golf club. baseball bat, rock, scissors, et.al. If the gun or killing tool was to blame, you should arrest said tool, put it on trial and give it the death penalty.

You don't believe that at all. Even 21 killings isn't enough for you to even think about giving up something, anything.  How many killings will it take?

Im glad you know me so well oh wait, you dont know me at all. Now you are deflecting from the point I made about the person using a weapon being responsible for the killing and not the weapon. The weapon itself is not harmful. It takes a person to use the weapon to be harmful therefor the person using said weapon is responsible. There is no debate about it. You cant honestly believe that a gun is going to kill someone without human interaction. Its never been done and impossible to do. DONE!

How many are killed doesnt change that fact. Is a kitchen knife going to jump out of its drawer and kill you when you walk into the kitchen? The responsibility for death with any type of weapon is held by the person using the (insert weapon).

Crazy person uses knife in attack at Encino hospital.  3 people stabbed, no deaths.

Knifes and guns are NOT the same.

never said guns and knives are the same...I said either option is the same, meaning it takes human interaction to make a weapon be harmful.  Not everyone who is shot dies either.

This is how criminals get guns at any age........

Brothers too young to drive arrested for stolen guns

The real problem when it comes to crime isn’t the lawfully purchased firearm sitting in your gun safe. It never has been and likely never will be.

The problem is, more often than not, stolen guns.

How many guns are stolen from gun safes as opposed to guns stored in a gun rack, garage or bedroom. An anchored gun safe is pretty hard to get into.

I looked up some stats comparing the United States to my birth country of Greece. The link is below and some of the telling stats show that while US citizens own more guns than Greek citizens by a 4 to 1 ratio, the murder rate is 74 to 1 in (dis) favor of the US. If it was just the quantity of guns, then we should see a murder rate ratio closer to 4:1. This seems to say that guns are in too many of the wrong hands in the US. Or, we are more of a murdering culture.

It's a culture thing.  We speak the English language and our legal system was based on English common law, but our culture is not European and probably never was.

We are not the worst country in the world, but, by these measures, we are not the best either.

A kid got shot in the forehead in Chicago a few days ago. That's just one of many incidents involving guns there but no one wants to riot over it.
