> There are people here who write that "It was only a matter of time until one of those furious victims took up a gun to get revenge." and that's well into apologist territory.

Are they wrong? It's only a matter of time until lots of bad things happen. Still bad, still going to happen.

The only person in this thread who used the word "victims" was you.

Right, sorry, I missed that.

In any case, using loaded language doesn't change the validity of the argument.
