(14,255 posts)If manufacturers were responsible for how the guns were used, they would be forced to keep tabs on, well, everybody, and since no one can predict, say, kids breaking into their parents' gun cases and stealing guns, or just plain stealing guns, it would soon not be economically feasible to manufacture guns. Or there would soon be so many loopholes in that legislation that it would be worthless. For starters, guns are used, by Americans, to kill other people all over the world. The police use guns to kill people. That, IMO, is just a short step to saying only the police and the MIC can have guns.
If the objective is to stop gun manufacturing, just fucking come right out and fucking SAY IT, instead of pretending that making the manufacturers liable will fix anything.
Oh, and none of this could ever persuade me to support a candidate who laughs at war and death, and is a Third Way Neocon hawk.
