Gun haters don't want to bring up personal responsibility, or responsibility of the individual at all. If they bring that up then they can't target anything but the individuals themselves. And gun haters don't want to point the finger of blame against people, they wanna point it at some inanimate object that they hate, fear and despise (even though they have no knowledge about it or have even held on in their lives) and call for it to be banned to make all the problems of the world go away.

In short, the gun control crowd is hoplophoic, homophobic, shortsighted, ignorant, and even racist.
