I've made up a new word: stupidism. You know how there are truisms? Well, says I, there are thus also stupidisms: sayings that are, not to put too fine a point on it, clearly STUPID. Example? "People don't kill people, guns kill people." That is the quintessence of a stupidism. All countries have people. Yet only one country has constant mass murders/massacres. Only ONE country doesn't ban military-style assault weapons from civilian hands. That's the country with all the slaughters of innocent people. So it's the GUNS that are doing all the killing.
All countries have a similar number of violently insane people. Yet only one has assault weapons, military-style assault GUNS, in those people's hands. Thus the example I gave of a stupidism is, in fact, a stupidism and is the very one that made me come up with that word for it in the first place. You're welcome.
