80. what punishments are proposed for guns who kill people?
Outlawing (blaming) guns diverts attention from the real problem, be it murder or irresponsible negligence.

If someone/something is BLAMED for, say, a murder, surely they/it must be charged, prosecuted and tried, and, if the evidence meets the standard, convicted and punished.

I may be insufficiently familiar with the totality of legislative proposals in the US; I seem to have missed these proposals.

Who is blaming guns for something, and what punishments are they proposing?


Prosecute murderers. Demand that people act responsibly.

Now that's interesting.

"Demand" that people act responsibly.

But don't BLAME them -- actually HOLD THEM ACCOUNTABLE -- when they don't??


Make progress on those two things and you improve this entire world in a whole host of ways.

Can you tell us what progress you are aware of being made when demands were made that people do something?

What if they just don't want to?

:rofl:
In your world, somebody blames guns for something, but you apparently don't want to actually blame people and hold them accountable for harms they cause.

Interesting.
