Sebastian has a post up where the PSH crowd is engaging in, well, PSH because the Pima County GOP is being insensitive and raffling off the very gun used to shoot Rep. Giffords a Glock pistol. To which I replied
Would these people have a problem with a car dealer on Chappaquiddick Island raffling off a car?
Sad that it makes a funny joke, because it’s totally grounded in reality. What one madman does with a gun / car / shovel / santoku knife has nothing to do with the gun / car / shovel / santoku knife and everything to do with the madman. To ascribe the insane person’s intentions to the tool he or she used and then attempt to transfer that to another human is beyond reprehensible.
