Astute observation by Dr. Wendy Hasson:
@Sheril because the #parentsrights crowd loves their guns more than they like their kids
@paninid @Sheril which is why the parents here are fighting back in Spotsylvania. Why don’t our parental rights matter equally to theirs?
@Sheril i wonder this about the US regularly. so safety conscious about the wrong things.
@Sheril This is a VERY strong post.
@Sheril
No recall simply because there is no manufacturing defect at play: firearms are working perfectly as designed: highly effective person-killing devices.
@Sheril absolutely pathetic that we hold guns to an entirely different standard
@Sheril and yet these people still argue it’s NOT the guns. I’m fairly certain it is, and while yes it needs a human to operate it, it wouldn’t happen without it.
@Sheril Clearly we need more toddlers with guns.
@Sheril That’s because the guns are working as designed.

@Sheril And until the GOP elected officials are made to say out loud what the “militia” is supposed to be for in the 2A, nothing will change.
We are living in this dual world where half of the political spectrum operates under the belief that it will be necessary to overthrow the US government someday when enough gun owners get angry enough. That’s the militia. The other side pretends they don’t think that because that’s treasonous.

So make them say it. Ask them what it is.

@Sheril Lawn darts were banned after only one deadly incident.

@Sheril

Until this changes nothing else will.

@Sheril those 6000 injuries were the result of the product functioning perfectly, unfortunately. Nothing to recall, but I get the point. It's about the priorities of the majority and what seems like a paranoid distrust and fear of being left in a defenseless position that results in favoring hazard over safety. Any regulation is seen as a threat to that, but it's clear to the minority that the opposite is true. I wonder what the threshold will be to change minds.
@Sheril desatan in Fl made concealed carry legal, so there is tha
@Sheril
Conservatives at their finest!!
@Sheril Something did happen. Tennessee legislature created a new liability shield for gun manufacturers.

@Sheril Toys and food do something they are not intended to do: kill people. They are recalled. Guns do precisely what they are intended to do: kill people. They aren't recalled.
It doesn't seem like a particularly acute observation to me, or one that's going to convert anybody from their existing positions.

At best, that is a line of argument that calls for the effective regulation of a potentially deadly item... a line of argument which is far more difficult to ridicule.
