"It’s the poor craftsman who blames his tools" - usually.
Take the common screwdriver: It’s used as a chisel, paint stirrer,
pry bar, door stop, table leveler, scratcher for that itch between the
shoulder blades: right there -- ahhhh -- and, of course, a hammer. Occasionally,
it drives a screw. In the hands of a 10-thumbed homeowner, the screwdriver can
do horrific damage. In the hands of predators, it can kill.
Same tool.
The use depends on the user. It's a process dependent
on the user’s intention, vision, and planning. There are always many alternatives; the user must choose a suitable
tool. Finally, it's the skills and craftsmanship
of the user which determine the end result. The user is in control.
Stop blaming the tool.
Wheel gun..........
ReplyDeleteLOL. I'm sure that even Grant Cunningham http://www.grantcunningham.com/ would turn his flowing locks away from that one.
ReplyDeleteGood read from JPFO: Intentions Matter.
ReplyDeleteSomeone with good, lawful, peaceful intentions will not willingly harm anyone, even if he/she is carrying a fully-automatic weapon. Someone with bad, criminal, violent intentions is dangerous, whether he/she has a gun, a knife, a baseball bat, a screwdriver, or even nothing but fists/feet.
Despite what the anti-gun narrative says, a person with a gun is not automatically dangerous. Intentions matter.
An important life lesson. Thanks for the link.
