Discussing the situation with those would would use these or any other kind of comparisons simply do not understand the issue at hand.

I completely understand the situation, "blame the inanimate object not the person". My point was anything can be a murder weapon. You look for an easy answer there is none. This Madman killed his Mom, took guns (which are illegally obtained by him, steals a car) and commits murder. When we opened the asylums we let the insane out do you really think any laws will stop an insane person? Virginia Tech has it's own Police Department and where were they? If Columbine has a school Security officer where was he? Why are airline pilots armed even though there are sky marshals on planes?
