It was only a matter of time before we got to the "guns aren't dangerous, idiots are dangerous" argument.

Like saying "sulphuric acid isn't dangerous - scientists with slippery hands are dangerous".

It must just be my twisted logic and rationality, but I fail to see how a mechanical apparatus specifically designed to explosively fire a high speed projectile (and loaded with said projectile) for the express purpose of killing or wounding does not qualify as inherently "dangerous", no matter whose hands it's in. I've never been good with rational argument though.

I would've thought the risk in this program was apparent to all but the incomprehensively blind.
