If that changes their opinion, then they were not on the pro-gun side to begin with, or were with little thought as to why. If they had thought it out, they (like most of us) would realize that no matter what, the gun wasn't at fault. Someone, somewhere, pulled that trigger and they (or the events that led to it) are to blame. Blaming an inanimate object for the actions of a human being shows they lack the ability to rationalize, and is no doubt linked to personal fears or emotions they can not overcome themselves.
But RooK! That's holding people, not inanimate objects that have no innate will in and of themselves, at fault!
And we can't have that!
Next thing you know, you'll purpose sending murderers to jail! |

The same goes the other direction. Some of the most die hard pro-gun people were at one time anti-gun people until something happened that changed their mind. Yes, teh sourse is a pro-gun site but we are talking about conversions so I think this sourse works.
