So fine, I'll give up my guns when you give up your cars, knives, tools, liquor, drugs, and submit to a mental health exam every time you head to Home Depot. Because if we're going to blame inanimate objects for the actions of Evil people then I demand we blame them all.

So we just say "Man this sucks but some people are bad." 

Why didn't we do that when 9/11 happened? "Man. This sucks but some people are bad. No reason to change boarding procedures."

I don't know what's changed in the past 30 years or so but we need to change with the times. Some people on this board were saying how they grew up with guns in trucks and gun racks and this never happened. Well, it's happening now and it's happening more frequently. Doing nothing is clearly not working and it seems to only be getting worse. I don't know what the solution is but keeping everything the same is clearly not working. Saying "Oh this was just a bad person. Come take my guns? Yea right. Come and try." Isn't helping anything or anyone.

Man, some people are inciting riots with their words. You must all stop talking.

Man, some people are invoking hatred with their slanted reporting of the news. All press must be approved by the government.

Man, some religious folks are preaching hatred in their churches. All religion must be approved by the state.

Man, some people are getting together at City Hall to protest. You must all adhere to a government curfew.

Man, some people are evil and killing innocent people with guns. You must all give up your guns.

Rights are rights, they are not open to compromise or discussion lest they all be placed at risk.
