Heh. I posted a rebuttal to a meme pointing out supposed hypocrisy of blaming guns for shootings but people for bombings. I pointed out that what people are really blaming is *gun availability*, not guns themselves. It's a fine distinction perhaps, but a valid one. That it's a natural conversation to have after a tragic shooting, whereas such a discussion about bombs is meaningless since the item in question is already illegal. That guns have a valid place in society, but that some level of control is legitimate so 12 year olds with credit cards aren't nipping off to the store to pick them up. That there's a great big gray area between free access and prohibition and it creates grounds for legitimate debate on policy.

Then I saw the meme pop up again on another wall.

Sorry, but I'm not going to response to them individually. *laughs* I'll just say something here and be off to homework.

Or actually, to bed since I wrote that when I was working the help desk and am now home where I can sleep. Ah, sleep....
