The Gun has to be Accountable for its Part

   If you are going to study gun violence, you pretty much have to study what role the gun is playing. Unfortunately, the Guns-don't-kill,-People-do mantra would turn attention away from the gun. We cannot do that; We need to study the role of the gun in the violence taking place.

   We cannot look blindly away from the gun. We cannot divert all the attention to the killers. Yes, if we didn't have guns, people would find other weapons: knives, scissors, axes, or whatever. That doesn't diminish the fact that it is the gun that is being used so often. We should look at it, consider its role.
