The OP opened the door, I was simply responding and debunking the ignorant claim that "guns don't kill people, people do", and he made the original comparison.

As I said, I'm not against parsers personally (I have used them), but I am capable of acknowledging and understanding that they do compound an already existing problem and make it worse. I have seen abuse first hand, and it's not acceptable.

However, there are ways to implement parsers while mitigating the negative effects.
