“Belcher was a murderer, responsible for what he did. To say otherwise is infantalizing, dehumanizing. There’s not some outside force ‘wickedness’ — unless you believe in The Devil! — that possesses a man and ‘explodes.’ How do you know that one day, that might not happen to you? In Whitlock’s view, we’re blind and complacent if we don’t see that potential. We might just go nuts one day and if there are any weapons around, that random explosion will lead to death. Better ban the guns.” Want to Hear Bob Costa Scold America About Our Terrible, Terrible Guns? Ann Althouse [via althouse.blogspot.com]
