Yup.
When the 9/11 terrorists hijacked several planes and flew them into buildings killing nearly 3000 people, nobody blamed the planes. Instead, we rightly blamed the hijackers.
When Mohamed Lahouaiej-Bouhlel took a rented truck in Nice, France and used it to mow down hundreds of people (killing 86 and injuring 458 others), nobody blamed the truck. Instead, we rightly blamed the driver.
When terrorists exploded bombs onboard trains in Madrid, Spain in 2004 and on subways in London, England in 2005 killing 247 people (and wounding 2660), nobody blamed the bombs. Instead, we rightly blamed the bombers/terrorists.
When terrorists planted a bomb aboard Metrojet Flight 9268 in 2015 which killed 224 people when the jet crashed in the Sinai, nobody blamed the bomb. Instead, we rightly blamed the bomber/terrorist.
And yet every time there is a mass shooting a large segment in our population wants to blame the firearm rather than the perpetrator who committed the heinous act.
