(Andrew Sullivan Reader Three days ago: Guns don't kill people - people do. By the same token, planes don't kill people - people flying them into buildings do. And yet, I recall that we immediately and decisively worked to keep deranged people from gaining possession of planes when a handful of those people used them as tools of mass murder; indeed, we made it much more difficult for the overwhelming majority of peaceful, law-abiding citizens to board a plane. SaintPetersblog: Gun rights advocates will argue that guns don’t kill people – people do. By the same token, planes don’t kill people – people flying them into buildings do. And yet the government immediately and decisively worked to keep deranged people from gaining possession of planes when a handful of those people used them as tools of mass murder; indeed, we made it much more difficult for the overwhelming majority of peaceful, law-abiding citizens to board a plane.)
Credit was given to the Miami Herald's Marc Caputo instead of Andrew Sullivan. I apologize.
