guns don't kill---people do...
those people in the cornfield were old enough to know there is a consequence for their actions.

I hate this argument because it is an irrational statement that is like apples and oranges. I can kill you with a ribbon sure but can I do it from 200 yards without you even knowing? You could also try choking me with a ribbon and I bet I could get loose or at least hurt you enough that you would stop choking me. With a gun you can just shoot me dead from a distance. There is a difference.
Do you also feel that murder is a good consequence for throwing a tomato at a car?
