"...The reality is that automobiles are not intentionally engineered to kill people..."

Not all guns are designed to kill humans.  In fact, up until the last election, every single one of my guns was designed for either hunting or target shooting.  Now, it could be that if magically we somehow flushed our society of all hand guns and what they call "assault weapons", that gun crime might drop.  But, it'll certainly never end.

The real problem isn't the weapon.  The real problem is who's holding it.
