npub1thzhvwtwhna0pyphz39ejej65fdftygq23pyrrtftjejut77wz9sdu0n4d (npub1thz…0n4d) OK, then I think I’m misunderstanding what you were saying.
It seems so, but no worries I am always happy to explain what I meant in more detail for interested parties. The cartoon you posted seemed to be saying that gun violence was the only kind for which we blamed the weapon, for all other kinds we blamed the person behind it. I had read your words as giving the same message.
Yes that is more or less what the cartoon is saying, but I cant speak for the author beyond the obvious. I think that overall you are lost in nuance though, if not in a way that the author was misrepresented certainly in a way that misrepresents my point in sharing it (again no biggie I can explain). I was disagreeing with that and saying that while “blame” per se lies with the human in every case (obviously, it cannot be the “fault” of an inanimate object that something happened), we can and do address both the human causes and the weapon causes in all cases to try and reduce a given type of violence.
Yes, i wouldnt argue with the fact that both the weapon and the person tend to be addressed in various set of laws. As I said my objection is not that both components are considered, but rather the fact that when the weapon is a gun, the logic in how those two are addressed completely abandons the logic applied to the other weapons or even other situations that arent murder, and instead applies completely contrary logic, which in turn results in a very different and nonsensical laws that often make the problem worse not better.
Anyway all that said may i make a suggestion. Perhaps your next move (And perhaps your first) should be to ask me to clarify my point before disagreeing with it :) While perhaps a bit late feel to ask me and ill be happy to elaborate further and discuss the specific details and reasoning of my post
