Does that mean we have to hold Oldsmobile responsible for Teddy Kennedy's drunk driving that killed Mary Jo Kopekne, or microphones responsible for Don Imus' stupid remarks, or airplanes responsible for 9/11, or spoons and ice cream responsible for Rosie O'Donnell's grotesque obesity?

While I am no longer surprised at the level of ignorance gun debates brings out in people and their rantings, and without dignifying the laughably inaccurate comparisons to the responsibility issue, I would like to say that reasonable, intelligent and empathetic people hold the perpetrators of crime accountable, rather than their weapon of choice. Statistically, the US leads the way by far in crimes committed with guns. A reasonable person would conclude that the abysmal statistics of death through the use of guns would be greatly diminished if accessibility to guns would be re-examined by lawmakers. The individual's "right" to bear arms should not be more important than EVERYONE'S right to safety and life. This perception will of course be laughable to all zealots who's intellectual capacity rates somewhere on the moronic side of IQ testing, and these are the individuals we need to feel empathy towards, and guard ourselves against. My thoughts will be with the families suffering through this unspeakably painful time.

Good Point. But I'd like to hold Rosie responsible for all of it. A few Years in the Pokey? Would do her good. And, make the other Inmates wanna go straight and stay outta Prison.

I have never believed that Guns were the Problem, It is those whom are Using the Guns that are Dangerous. A Gun can be a good thing (as in protecting one's self and family or it can be a Dangerous tool in the hands of a Mad Man..

Guns don't kill, it's the gun supporter pulling the trigger who kills.
