Then we turned on CNN, where the reporter was calling for bans on assault rifles and asking every guest on his show (even guest psychologists) to also support gun control.<br /><br />But the reporter said "It would be disrespectful not to talk about gun control", which is sort of your point, too. Some people respond to evil by seeking to prevent it in the future.<br /><br />I guess it could go too far, though. Like "If Japan's whaling industry wasn't allowed to butcher the world's whale population, this sort of atrocity would not happen."Reecehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10691425406901685427noreply@blogger.com
