LETTER: With evil intent  Published: Tuesday, February 12, 2013
at 11:21 AM.  I support the Second Amendment.  Inanimate objects
cannot kill. To kill a human being, another human being must
initiate the action. Guns are a tool, as is an automobile, a
hammer, a knife or a baseball bat. These objects do not kill
people. People using these objects kill people by the way they
use these objects. A car cannot be used until a person starts
the engine and gets behind the wheel. Likewise, a gun, a hammer,
a knife or a baseball bat cannot kill unless a person decides to
use it for that purpose.  Are we going to stop making cars and
ban them from the roads so that people won’t die? Are we going
to ban hammers, knives and baseball bats so they cannot be
misused? I don’t think so.  The Second Amendment is not and has
never been the problem. People with evil or harmful intent are
the problem.    ▲ Return to Top  Local Faves
