It's really simple.
He may have been able to smoke near them though. Or sup on a 40. Yes. Good point.
Heheh.

When I was in high school we had one suicide where a girl managed to blow her head off with her dads shotgun. We had another incident where kids were out joy riding and shot a gun out of their car window into a corn field. On the other side of the field a car just happened to be driving on a distant road and as luck would have it, shot the driver right in the head. The kid who was shot had just graduated from our school the year before.
Two kids dead from guns. Parents went nuts.
I think there were 5 or 6 deaths in my four years of high school that were car accident related. Besides the deaths, no one cared they were killed in cars, yet cars had killed more than guns.
It's the stigma that comes with guns. Nothing more. People are afraid of them so people freak out when there is an accident.
I was shooting guns when I was in the 6th grade. Both my dad and step dad owned guns. My dad owned a lot of them, some were crazy ass machine guns he got from lord knows where. No one was shot with them. No one was ever hurt. Why not? Because guns are only a problem when they are in the hands of unstable people, or unless there is an accident.
Sane and responsible people with guns are not a problem.

If guns didn't exist he may have found other means to kill them if he was motivated. A gun is just the easiest option. Without a gun he may have improvised if he really wanted them to die.
If I wanted to kill you, I wouldn't let the absence of a gun get in the way.
