Why are violent acts where a gun is used the only ones where the weapon is blamed instead of the person?

It is just the way liberals think. Murder is already illegal but they think another law will be more of a deterrent.

Because a gun is designed to kill human beings in large numbers. A knife isn't. In fact knives have proven to be very ineffective weapons of mass murder.

Do you really need this explained to you?

Liberals always blame without facts !! Well this must be embarrassing for the Liberal Main Stream Media. They strongly criticized the NRA proposal that armed adults protect children in schools. Some critics proposed that NRA members should be shot. If you continue to dig for background information, then you’ll find that **President Bill Clinton funded the same program in April of 2000. That fact went down the memory hole until Breitbart dug it up.** Yes, it is there for all to see. Check Press conference from the Los Angeles Times archive,

Clinton also unveiled the $60-million fifth round of funding for “COPS in School,” a Justice Department program that helps pay the costs of placing police officers in schools to help make them safer for students and teachers. The money will be used to provide 452 officers in schools in more than 220 communities.

“Already, it has placed 2,200 officers in more than 1,000 communities across our nation, where they are heightening school safety as well as coaching sports and acting as mentors and mediators for kids in need,” Clinton said.

So I ask you, will Clinton disavow the program now that the NRA endorses it? Flashback: Clinton Requests $60 Million to Put Cops in Schools by John Nolte21 Dec 2012.....

Today, the same elite media who no doubt send their own kids to private schools that employ armed security, just can't stop howling ridicule at the NRA's idea to give every student in America those same protections. Because the NRA's idea is so appealing, as I write this, the media's going overboard, mocking it as bizarre, crazy, and out of touch.

This is how the media works to silence and vilify the opposition and to ensure that only their ideas control The Narrative. The media doesn't care about securing our schools; they only care about coming after our guns and handing Obama another political win.

The media also doesn’t care how wildly hypocritical they look.

In their zeal to rampage this left-wing agenda, the media has apparently forgotten that back in 2000, on the one-year anniversary of the Columbine shooting (which occurred with an assault weapons ban in place), President Clinton requested $60 million in federal money to fund a fifth round of funding for a program called "COPS in School," a program that does exactly what the NRA is proposing and the media is currently in overdrive mocking:

Clinton also unveiled the $60-million fifth round of funding for "COPS in School," a Justice Department program that helps pay the costs of placing police officers in schools to help make them safer for students and teachers. The money will be used to provide 452 officers in schools in more than 220 communities.

"Already, it has placed 2,200 officers in more than 1,000 communities across our nation, where they are heightening school safety as well as coaching sports and acting as mentors and mediators for kids in need," Clinton said.

The media is not only so driven to ensure Sandy Hook is used to win this round on gun control that they've become morally blinded to what really needs to be done to immediately secure our schools; they've lost their grip historically and politically.

Think about it: The media is entering a new year attempting to convince parents that their children will be less safe with a policeman in their school.

Off the rails doesn’t even begin to describe it.

and the "mailbox" is responsible for bad news.
