Think Again

For the five hundred or so Americans who die from unintentional gunshot wounds, the product safety model might make some sense.  [More]

Bull. If the product is defective, there are remedies.

To go beyond that is to cede an opening for this:

There you have it, their true goal, laid out in black and white. The only acceptable guns are those which can be handled in complete safety by fools. Forget responsibility and accountability. Forget training and judgment. Forget the fact that life is fraught with risks and benefits and tradeoffs. Forget individual freedom and inalienable rights. Unless a drooling moron can hold the gun in his toes and gnaw on the barrel and yank back on the trigger with his (presumably opposable) thumbs in utter and oblivious tranquillity, it must be banned.
