If Neil McDonald's logic is right, we can readily apply it to our world
right now. Instead of focusing our judicial fury on murderers, the
"secondary few" who pull the trigger, we should hunt down the gun
manufacturers, those who are "primarily responsible for the endless supply"
of guns in our country and "share accountabilities" for gun violence. I
think that's where we end up with this line of reasoning.
