Since nobody reads fb this isn't trolling

Nobody can argue that if those elementary school children had been provided with and trained to use automatic rifles that there would have not been the tragedy.

Similarly, we all know guns don't kill people - they're just a tool like a knife or stick. This is why we should not only remove the limits on gun ownership per the founder's wishes to prevent Britain from invading, but in that freedom we should also remove restrictions on possession of explosives and chemical agents. Nerve agents don't kill people, people do.

It doesn't seem logical to me to argue guns should be legal to all, and that mass killings are unrelated to access to these tools, without expanding that argument to explosives, chemicals, and pathogens. Why is the NRA limiting itself to the firearm? US freedoms are curtailed but nobody seems to object.

I'm beginning to think the Rest of the World should offer a one-time amnesty to any Americans who want to defect. Then the remaining ones should be issued with several guns each as compulsory, and once all the fucking gun-crazy idiots have killed each other off, everyone else can move back and live in peace.
