He had a hatchet too. Time to villify the tool manufacturers, the lumber industry, and the roofing/siding industry. Oh, and the recreation and wood stove industries.

Oh, and flooring installers.

Heck, go after the Boy Scouts. They use hatchets too.

Any Dow Corning, the makers of Mace. And the National Parks gift shops, who sell bear repellant. Heck, go after the police, because the spray may have been stolen out of an unlocked police car.

Forget weapon of choice. What the heck is causing people to go into public places and kill strangers?

I must have missed the vilify part of someone's post.

You will notice that he shot at the cop. Did not throw a hatchet at the cop.

He also hosed down the theater with Mace or OC spray. Could have killed children or asthmatics/COPD sufferers.

Its not the method, its the man.

What a crock of garbage.

No. Everyone wants to blame the firearm. I'm just pointing out that he had other means. Endless means, to be realistic.

The problem is the people, not the means.
