What about the sense of responsibility that might—might—come to you if your hobby or “tool” causes 45,000 deaths a year?
What about the cultural decay you cause glorifying guns in ads that promote your qualifications as a public servant?

What about not conflating a kind of person, say from Chicago, with bad things that happen with guns or presuming other kinds of people, say those who look like you, will be good with guns?
What about 40% of a small town’s budget spent on making schools a “hard target” rather, say, than buying tutors, art teachers, and mentors for every kid?
And what about a country that puts 10% of its budget and 50% of its discretionary spending into defense rather than, say, paying teachers the best wages in the world?
What about the holy order of pacifism and preferring to die rather than kill?
What about a guy so good he does not need a gun? Jesus, say?
What about how guns are always, always, always part of gun deaths?
And what about the self-evident truth that slaughter, callousness, and the pursuit of mayhem is what you hold when you hold for guns in America?
