If these criminals had not had a gun, they would have killed with arson or a bomb...

Oh, please, not that old sophomoric nonsense again !! Thank you Wayne LaPierre & Charleton Heston.

Yeah, right...and if he didn't have a bomb or a match & gasoline, he'd have used a tennis racket or a golf club or a hammer, and if he didn't have a tennis racket or a golf club or a hammer, he'd have used a phillips screwdriver or a rock or strangled 'em with a dog leash, and if he didn't have a phillips screwdriver or a rock or a dog leash, he'd have stabbed 'em with a hatpin or a nail file & on & on ad absurdum.

Gimmie a frickin break, will ya?
