It's a liberal phrase, a silly phrase, a phrase that aids and abets thoughtlessness. Liberals speak of the 'guns on the street' and of getting them off the street. Now I've walked down many a street in
many a city in this world, but I have yet to see any guns on the street. But I have seen them in the hands of people. The liberal tendency is to blame the instrument not the agent. You hear this sort of thing all the time: Guns have killed X people in Y time. A gun can do no such thing. Do liberals know this? They must, but then why do they talk as if they don't? So maybe they don't know it.
I didn't leer at the girl, my eyeglasses did. I didn't insult my colleague, my tongue did. Tookie Williams is not responsible for brutal murders, society is. It's the same sort of nonsense.
