Brilliant analysis by profoundly, even mind-numbingly stupid Chicago Mayor;
“Unfortunately, America loves Guns. We love guns to a point where that uh we see devastation on a daily basis. You don’t blame a group.”
(Chicago Mayor Richard Daley)
Ironically enough, IT is EXACTLY the reverse!
Weapons are inanimate objects and they DON'T kill people, but ideologies DO!
The serial killer's "becoming" and the jihadist's "spiritual transformation" via "violent jihad" are the IDEAS that trigger the use/abuse of inanimate objects a/k/a "weapons."
But this viewpoint isn't merely "wrong," no, the use of this canard is entirely premeditated and calculated for a specific effect.
Consider the fact that you DID NOT hear such tripe after Timothy McVeigh bombed theMurrah Building ? Think that was an accident?
Of course it wasn't!
In fact, did you notice the record time in which McVeigh's execution was carried out?

He was literally air-mailed to the death chamber.
Perhaps because of The Third Terrorist connection researched and written about by Jayna Davis (http://www.amazon.com/Third-Terrorist-Connection-Oklahoma-Bombing/dp/0785261036/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1258029677&sr=8-1)
In THIS case, Richard Daley’s comments are not only naïve, they’re deliberately offensive and designed to obstruct our looking at the REAL causes of this violence, and any other "non-PC violence." THAT, and of course, no one wants to consider the potential political impact of such a terrorist on Barack Obama's watch.
The U.S. Constitution is very clear on that.
The idiocy of folks like Richard Daley who blame “guns,” “SUVs” and other inanimate objects for “killing people,” is purposeful. It serves the dual purposes of both undermining by vilifying our NATURAL RIGHT to self defense, while deflecting the blame for the current wave of jihadist violence from where it belongs (pernicious MOTIVATING ideologies - in this case “jihadist Islam”) to inanimate objects.
In this instance it was used to whitewash a horrific event (the terror attack on Fort Hood), BUT it goes even further, to “blame the victims!’

After all, who loves their guns more than those in the U.S. military?
Or perhaps I SHOULD say, “Right DICK?!”
