- Again, this is another attempt to pawn off responsability. Why should
- those who sell drinks have to play babysitter? The same is seemingly
- happening with gun sellers as well. Someone sells a gun by legal
- means, and if that gun is used in a murder, the victim's family tries
- to prosecute the seller of the gun. If it's legal to sell guns, then
- there's nothing wrong with selling them! It's the person who uses it
- for an illegal use that should be prosecuted!! What's next, someone
- OD's on aspirin, and we sue Krogers because they sold it to them??
