Losing a loved one to gun violence gives no one a monopoly on virtue
By David L. Rosenthal
The media have been presenting surviving relatives of victims of gun violence as proponents of new gun legislation, as though their calls for gun control made sense, although they have been failing to address the facts.
One pertinent fact is that all gun violence is committed not by responsible gun-owners, who make up slightly under 100% of the total set of gun owners, but by the few gun-owners who are prone to criminal behavior. Guns do not kill people. If they did, given the many millions of guns in America, no one should be left alive.
Another pertinent fact is that those who disobey the law would obey new gun legislation no more than they would obey or have obeyed existing gun laws, which they violated upon shooting innocent victims.
