I bet that anyone of those nine victims wish they had a gun when 21-year-old Dylann Roof began opening fire in that church.
Question: when there is a horrific traffic accident, do newspapers stop running automobile ads on their pages?
Nope. They do not.
So, why then would they be expected to remove a gun ad in the wake of a mass shooting?
Yet, for whatever reason, they are. Why? Because there is a double standard.
Think about it, when drunk drivers take an innocent life while behind the wheel, the ire of the public is directed at the drunk driver. But when an alleged racist, sociopath uses a firearm to kill nine people in a church in Charleston, South Carolina, the ire of the public is directed at the gun and not the gunman.
Why can the public differentiate between the inanimate object and the driver when it comes to car accidents but can’t do the same for the inanimate object and the person who pulls the trigger in shootings?
The reason? Anti-gunners have convinced many unbiased individuals that guns are evil.
Consider the following tweet from Jonathan Neufeld, a philosophy professor at the College of Charleston in Charleston, S.C.

That's called rationalism. Ha
