Bullets don't fly on their own accord. Someone aims them.

That is a serious accusation. What evidence do you have that this hypothetical you are constructing has any bearing to reality? I remember a time when 'innocent until proven guilty' was a guiding principle of public conversation. These days we gleefully accuse people of hypothetical crimes. How about we stop doing that?

It's a guiding principle of jurisprudence, not conversation. Don't be so pompous as to think the level of your discourse rises to that of a court proceeding.

I did not make any accusation. I was clarifying the position of the people who's thought process you "couldn't imagine".

Now you can.
