Yeah, let's blame the gun owner that obtained the gun legally and
registered it! Let's NOT blame the thief/robber/murderer/rapist - it's
not his fault! If it wasn't for that legal, law-abiding citizen leaving
his home and gun alone, that poor theif wouldn't be able to steal it!

Why stop at guns? Someone steals a car and does a hit-and-run, kills a
family. Who's to blame here - why it's the guy the car was stolen FROM!
That evil bastard! It's his fault! Let's hang him! If that asshole
hadn't park that damn car in his garage, that family would still be
alive! Fry him!

Or better yet, this is the law we need:
Joe gets his wallet stolen by Leroy. Leroy takes the money in the
wallet and buys a gun on the street. THen Leroy kills a man. Who's to
blame?? Not Leroy - let's get Joe! If it wasn't for Joe, Leroy never
would have the money to buy that damn gun! Joe, that big jerk!
