Tanuki,

So let me get this straight and to use your logic:  the hundreds of thousands of helpless men, women, and children who were hacked to death by machete during the Rwandan Genocide were complicit in their own murders because they did not actively work to regulate or ban the possession of machetes?   This is consistent with your beliefs isn't it?  Whatever happened to the concept of individual responsibility for one's own acts?  Or do you deny the existence of free will?
