13005373, I find the angle of the gun debate on the dem side strange TBH Posted by bentagain, Fri Apr-15-16 10:24 AM
being a Bern supporter, obviously I get what he's saying
Vermont doesn't have the gun issues that other states do
and HRC has been able to hit him on his record and paint that to a nationwide view
got it, smart on her part, no doubt
IMO, I haven't heard the debate center around being able to sue manufacturer's prior to this dem primary
what I've read about gun control has to do with making access harder
stricter regulations, etc...
also, alot of those measures are already on the books and not being enforced, but we cant talk about that without criticizing BHO
but TBH, HRC is lying
she lied about Vermont being the main supplier of NY illegal guns (I think the number referred to is 55 guns from Vermont, or 1.something%)
she's also lying by continuing to say they can't be sued
they can be, have been and currently are
as stated in a previous post, there are current lawsuits for defective safties, triggers, illegal sales etc...
I don't see how suing for just a general use in crimes actually addresses the overall gun control issue
and it's rather disingenous to use sandy hook as the example
I mean, we all feel for the survivors who lost loved ones
but the shooter murdered the gun owner (his mother), I don't see the connection to how the manufacturer is liable for that
and again, how just general lawsuits prevent the supply.
