When do we stop blaming the object for the actions of the subject?

Hello world. The following was written 10/05/2017.

There seems to be a theme going around of blaming the object for the actions of the subject because of the choice of the object being used to gain an objective. Then laws are written to justify taking away an object to keep such incidents from happening again. Yesterday I had a brother ask me if I owned a gun. My brother then began blaming the gun for the actions of the person. Today a brother used music as the example. Yesterday was guns, today music, tomorrow your silverware. When do we stop blaming the object for the actions of the subject?

A brothers asks, “Is there a difference in music for sex and music for making love?”

My response, “The only “difference” is the intentions behind the use of the music and not the music in and of itself. Do not blame the object for the actions of the subject my brother. The subject is always the one responsible for the action and not the object being used to gain their objectives.”

The premise of blaming the object is not new. For decades we have been faced with one law after another being put in place because of an object. Prohibition laws are put in place because an object has caused a subject to act, think, believe, or perceive something differently than those around them. These ‘laws” are no more than subliminal tools created to control and manipulate what you think, say and do.
