The Blame Game

While gang prevalence and poverty are undeniable factors in the rate of gun violence nationwide, gun manufacturers shoulder the bulk of responsibility, a national activist said during a service at Spring of Hope Church of God in Christ yesterday.

The Rev. Lennox S. Yearwood made his comments during a sermon following a town hall-style discussion comprised of representatives from local and statewide organizations aimed at stopping handgun and youth violence.
Isn't it curious how often we seem to hear about
gun control
proponents who
themselves have experienced
problematic incidents
involving guns.

No wonder they don't trust us.

I personally would have no problem with all adherents of Rev. Yearwood's philosophy voluntarily registering with the government making them ineligible to own firearms.

I thought it was illegal to go out and kill someone. Doesn't that maker the perpetrator somewhat responsible?

big Rosie went and applied for handgun permits for her security guards after she hosted the million mom march. I guess she was afraid of the serial cheeseburger thief.

My favorite comment from Rev. dip-dunk
"I've been all over this nation, and I have yet to come across a (neighborhood) that has a gun factory in it. ..."

Yeah, this guy really knows his stuff!

He was in Springfield MA... can you say Smith & Wesson
