This is exactly how the anti's think. Notice the title is "One stolen gun blazes a violent path", nothing about criminals blazing a violent path. It's all about the inanimate object and not the criminal.

One stolen gun blazes a violent path

Thomas Allen Hoffman was looking for a “cheapie.”
In the spring of 2007, he browsed a North Mankato gun dealer’s collection for a Hi-Point pistol, one of the least expensive handguns on the market.
Hoffman wanted the gun for personal protection.
He paid $150 to the Red Bear Hunting Emporium and took home a Hi-Point C-9 9mm semiautomatic pistol, serial #P1352366. But soon the gun was stolen, changed hands, then changed hands again, spiraling beyond the bounds of lawful ownership.
Young gang members in Minneapolis passed the Hi-Point among themselves and put it into action. They used the gun to shoot at people. They used it to rob. They used it to terrorize a neighborhood.
