Actually what he is saying is kinda brilliant.

He is showing how asinine it is to blame a thing instead of the person that did it. Like the gun haters do every time. He's just saying if the guns are the culprits then so are the video games, movies and TV shows, so we have to start banning them too, or at least you have to start looking at regulating video games, TV shows, movies etc.

Which is as stupid as banning guns.

Though I have to agree with Phen and the rest about the National Mentally Ill list, any one can be considered mentally ill these days.

What is the use of calling someone (and that are a lot of people lately) questioning current gunposession policies a 'gunhater'?

Why is it always with these kind of discussions that many tend to use polarising words that do no justice to the situation, and that often tend to 'kill' (whats in a word.. lol) the actual discussion?

It's of course a matter of children's logic to say: when we ban guns, whe should ban cars and videogames too. Cars and videogames aren't designed in the first place to kill / offer defence, but to offer a form of transportation and to offer entertainment.

The main issue is: its in your constitution that you are allowed to use arms to defend yourself and your loved ones.
But many people seem to extrapolate that to a level of: we need the same weapons as the government does, in case there comes a next civil war or something. The fact: you will never be able to obtain tanks and jetfighets as a civilian, so that argument is flawed.
For selfdefence simple pistols and (hunting) rifles are to a certain point sufficient (yes, i know some of you want a bazooka for that, but you will not get it...lol).
The people promoting 'gun control' are mostly on that same path: they wont take away your handguns, they are simply questioning the absurdity of peoples desires to possess (semi-) automatic weapons.

The people who some of you label 'gun haters' mostly are questioning if one freedom in its current form (the right to bear arms) isnt endangering another freedom in your country (i assume its in your legislation?) to severely: to protect the safety of innocent people, especially children. With freedom comes responsibility.
