3. The bullets are not responsible.
 It's the GUNPOWDER behind the bullets. Without the powder, the bullets would be nowhere.

Let's assign responsibility responsibly.

6. Nonsense.
 
It's the potassium nitrate, sulfur and charcoal that's ultimately responsible.

Without those, gunpowder wouldn't even be a flash in the pan.

7. Gunpowder nuts LOVE to point fingers at innocent compounds
 but they only compound the problem.

We must look to the people who mixed the compounds, and their parents.

9. Oh sure, blame the chemists!
 
The real problem lies with those damn miners! If it wasn't for them, those compounds would still be safe underground.

11. Nitrocellulose, nitroglycerin, and nitroguanidine.
 Potassium nitrate, sulfur, and charcoal is so 18th century.

16. Now wait just a gosh darn moment
 Without a primer, the gunpowder can't ignite.

They have a couple of moments of lucidity.

Yeah but eventually they will get around to trashing God for making the ingredients in the first place.

It must have been an ancestor in the Bush family that invented gunpowder too.

I saw that this morning.

Gunman?....at Texas A&M? Goos luck with that. College Station, Texas is the most consevative place on the planet. I can tell you with absolute certainty that there are plently of peaceful, law-abiding "gunmen" on that campus. I'm afraid that a shooting spree might be fairly short-lived.
