Why does everyone blame the firearm whenever there is a horrific firearm crime?

And not the idiot abusing it?
A lot more innocent people are killed by idiot drivers, but we don’t go running around saying lets ban the automobile, wouldn’t that save a lot of innocent people as well?
Now what about innocent victims being killed because an idiot abused alcohol, but we are not say ban alcohol for everyone, why not, wouldn’t that save a lot of innocent people as well?
But a gun used and people think all would be well if we just banned the gun.
Blaming, the firearm is a scared cop out, what is needed is better programs to help mentally ill people, but we can’t have that because that is just socialism, and thats bad right?
