Stop blaming guns

All the talk about gun control every time there’s a mass shooting is really getting old. It’s your constitutional right to own a gun. If you don’t like our Constitution, move. Second, guns don’t kill people, just as cars don’t kill people. People kill people. Normal people use guns as protection or to feed their families; abnormal people use guns to kill or commit crimes.

This comes from a proud American who believes in our Constitution and does not own a gun.
