Kalishnakov doesn't feel guilt over his design...

Fox News' websitehttp://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,288456,00.html has a story about the celebration of Kalishnakov's life.

He was asked if he fretted over the death and distruction the AK brought. He told the reporter it's the politician's fault, not the assault rifle.

Why is it so easy for people to blame an inanimate object rather than a real criminal? Why would a reporter try to make an elderly gentleman feel guilty about an invention, while ignoring his countries policies? Thoughts like this make

Learning disability. Lack of honor. Lack of intellectual honesty. Simple fear of the tool. Stupidity. Sometimes, all of the above. These are the same sort of people who spit on soldiers returning from war, who burn books, who blame others for why their children go sideways instead of fingering their lack of parenting skills as the culprit.

Because they are liberal weenies with a head full of mush! Liberalism is a mental disorder.

+1 on the mental disorder. That is what sheeple do. Kalishnakov's design was pure genius.

Think of all the people who have died because of Henry Ford, and don't get me started on those Wright Brothers.

Many people are desperate to believe that all human beings are inherently good and noble. They blame inanimate objects to let themselves hold onto that fallacy.

Mark 10:17-18 says,
As Jesus started on his way, a man ran up to him and fell on his knees before him. "Good teacher," he asked, "what must I do to inherit eternal life?"
"Why do you call me good?" Jesus answered. "No one is good—except God alone.

The sooner people figure that out, the sooner they'll be free to stop defending murderers and blaming the innocent (or the inanimate).

Why should he feel guilty?, It was made for his country's survival
during war.
