She's playing the PR game of "object and effect". It's an intellectually dishonest way of arguing things. For instance, the effect of a standard kitchen knife or little league bat used to commit murder would be devastating and disturbing to people not used to scenes like that, as would images of the aftermath of someone driving through a crowd of people with a van or car. Object and effect. If someone drives a car through a crowd of people. it will create carnage, if someone uses a kitchen knife to murder someone, it will create carnage. If someone uses a bat to kill someone, it will create carnage and yes, if someone uses a gun to kill people, it will create carnage. Object and effect. The two are not congruent until the individual who wants to do harm enters the equation. No stopping that sadly, no matter what you ban."Here's what I think. I think that somebody should have required—and this is going to sound very harsh. I think somebody should have required all those members of Congress to go in a room, in a locked room, no press, nobody else, and look at the autopsy photographs of those babies," Harris said. "And then you vote your conscience."
Why not put these same politicians in a room and look at autopsy photos of drunk driving victims, stabbing victims, home fire victims? Are these tragedies not preventable? Should we save more lives than those killed by guns by banning alcohol, knives, cars, or fire?
I dont envy the parents and family of children killed in school shootings but God forbid something like this ever happened to my child, I know that guns did not harm him, but a hand attached to a person wielding that gun. My view on firearms wouldn't change in the least.
