j reacts to another example of why no humans should ever have guns, ever

smug bullshit aside, there is a serious point here, and it's that all of the logic in the world doesn't prevent the temporary loss of reasoning associated with most rage killings.

he says he doesn't remember what happened. he probably really doesn't.

you can put child locks on it, put it in a safe, hide it where nobody else knows where it is - it doesn't matter. the issue is not the need to take precautions. it's rooted in the reality that human beings are dumb apes that are driven by hormones, not rational entities driven by logic.

it's true that he could have grabbed a butcher knife, but it isn't particularly relevant. the reality is that the only way to really address gun violence is to ban them altogether.

it's really unfortunate that you have that constitutional amendment, down there. we don't have anything of the sort in our constitution. and, we're really better off for it.
