The same could be about Islam, and yet we keep blaming the religion instead of the person.

most can't afford to build a nuke reactor anyways.....

the point being made is that it's the person, not the object, that is guilty.

yet there are some who think banning the object is the solution.

See above

Iran can, and according to the meme you posted, they shouldn't be prevented from doing it. In fact, following the rationale of the NRA, the more nukes on the planet, the safer we all should be.

What has the Religion of Peace to do with this?

“If you know the enemy and know yourself, you need not fear the result of a hundred battles. If you know yourself but not the enemy, for every victory gained you will also suffer a defeat. If you know neither the enemy nor yourself, you will succumb in every battle.”

There is a difference?

I googled the religion of peace and this pops up.

Pastafarianism. It believes that their deeds on Earth can affect the afterlife. They use the Pastafarian core values to guide them. These are:

1. Meatitude (power to spread His Noodly Goodness),

2. Sauceredness (blood oxidation and sharp mind),

3. Noodliness (flexibility and energy), and

4. Piracy and Smuggling.

Pastafarianism encompasses the concept of reward and punishment for the good and bad. When a person dies, he can ascend to the Great Pasta Bowl with the Flying Spaghetti Monster or descend to the depths of the Underground Freezer of Doom. Both the Great Pasta Bowl and the Underground Freezer of Doom have beer factories and stripper factories, though as a form of punishment, the Underground Freezer of Doom only had stale beers and strippers with STD. Followers of the Church of the Flying Spaghetti Monster also believe in the apocalypse. They believe that His Noodly Goodness the Flying Spaghetti Monster will destroy sinners and punish the non-believers. The only way to escape the wrath of the Spaghetti Monster is to repent, dress like a pirate, and follow the ways of Pastafarianism.

Yes.

i feel like posts referring to islam as the 'religion of peace' while the poster does not actually believe islam is a 'religion of peace' are post that are meant to degrade a specific demographic.

You betcha!

It obviously had a positive impact on his life.

Based on your rationale, one could also say that MLK's speeches, or the Boston tea party, or 9/11 had zero impact on anything. It all starts with one gesture, by one individual.

Seems the short answer is that he is no longer a gun owner. A responsible gun owner, actually owns a gun.

HI'm destroying his gun will have zero impact on anything.

Because 9-11 and a guy making a personal choice not to own a gun are the same exact thing.???
