    Exactly. Only an idiot would blame the weapon in this situation. I place 100% of the blame on the piece of **** who did it.

    This.
    Too many unsavory groups of violent folks who lash out for whatever reason suits them are the real problem. People talk out of their ass and say it's just guns. Where I live people get shot at, more people get stabbed, beheaded or beaten to death. Don't need a gun for that. In any case, much luck and goodwill to Augustus

    Yes, and guns allow people to be braver and take more risk. Most people with a gun believe that with a simple trigger they can finish the crime and get away.

    Knives are not as simple, you have to win the struggle against someone, leave fingerprints on the victim, etc. It doesn't give the same confidence a gun does.

    Dumb argument. You can buy a crossbow at any sporting good store.

    Somehow they dont realize humans are violent animals. If you're attacked from behind almost any weapon could be deadly.

    I feel like someone in my own family just got shot. The world needs a man like Emanuel Augustus in it.
