A crime is a crime. Murder is murder, regardless if the weapon is a handgun or a louisville slugger. You punish the outcome, not the weapon.
How many people were beat to death with Louisville Sluggers last year? In fact, with any brand of ball bat? Your chance of being shot dead in America is hundreds to thousands of times greater than anywhere else in the world. Now you can believe it is because Americans are the biggest assholes in the world, or blame it on Hollywood or whatever. But there are assholes and movies everywhere but this is the only place that is shoot 'em up town. The difference is the countryside is awash in guns. I know, I know, if everyone just had more it would all be fine.
JOHN ROBERTS: From time to time in the years to come, I hope you will be treated unfairly so that you will come to know the value of justice... I wish you bad luck, again, from time to time so that you will be conscious of the role of chance in life and understand that your success is not completely deserved and that the failure of others is not completely deserved either.
