By what rational are you allowed to judge marxism by its implementation, but when anti-gun folk judge guns by their implementation we get the argument that they are inanimate tools? You simply cannot judge one by its implementation and the other as an inanimate object, no matter how incomparable they are. Either:
a) Guns kill people and marxism kills people.
or
b) Guns don't kill people, people who use abuse them do and marxism doesn't kill people, people who abuse it do.
At least be consistent. (Your lawnmower/atheism comparisons are a complete straw man because you seem to be uncomfortable with admitting this)
Not that I agree with his statement, but if he needs to prove his point by saying that without the 2A there would be no murders, then surely in order to prove your accusation that communism/marxism caused all these murders then you'd have to prove that without communism there would be no murders. That's clearly not the case. Using your own logic here.
Totally get what you're saying but I don't think you can compare an ideology to an object. Your point is fair if you say the same about, say, the implementation of the 2nd Amendment and, really, who could deny that there are more deaths by gun in the US simply because there are more guns? However, I do not believe the overall murder rates are any worse because people will use what's available.
