Not possible, due to the 2nd amendment and the NRA. That is why there are no lawsuits and safety challenges at this time to the injuries and deaths caused by guns.

I am arguing that if any product, that does not have the legal protections guns currently have, caused the damage that guns cause, it would be deemed defective based on normal public safety considerations.

I asked you to post the link to the data, not for an excuse.

You're confused in your use of the word 'defective'. You're saying guns are defective, but you then attribute the defect to the protection allowed gun owners and manufacturers. 'Defective' means "imperfect or faulty" and since nothing is perfect, if a gun operates as intended, it's not faulty. It would seem that you think a gun meets the definition of 'faulty' just by existing.

But we don’t pick and chose who has rights. But the fact is, without an amendment, rights can’t be restricted. As for journalists, I’m sure trump would love to have them licensed.

Yeah, we do. Felons lose rights because the legal/penal system allows taking these rights from them. They're restricted from possessing guns, can't legally vote, can't associate with other felons when they're on parole.......etc.

Apples to apples, otherwise it is ridiculous...

"Advanced" refers to properly governed countries...

and, you'll notice I did not call other countries Sxxx Hxxx countries...unlike more intolerant folks that abound...

How can a country be advanced when the people don't follow the rules and laws?

If the countries of origin of the immigrants who are flooding the US aren't Sxxx Holes, why are those people leaving?

Okay, let me get this straight. Maxine Waters has some kind of mind controlling super power but Trump doesn't? Trump says far worse things and the right keeps saying it has nothing to do with him! Oh, but "Low IQ Maxine"! Watch out! She's got that old evil eye!

I never said Trump doesn't say stupid things. OTOH, I have said many times, that he needs a muzzle and effective handlers.

It's Halloween. Just sayin'.

In light of recent events, I think the guy could have just walked around the place, assuming he wasn't trying to do anything bad.

David, you're fighting with with some ancient tree stumps on this thread😀
I wish they could see their own country from an international perspective.
The instant gratification of a tax cut and very short term boost to the economy does nothing to offset the international laughing stock that Trumps presidency has made of the country.
The damage to the respect once afforded the US will take a generation to repair.

You're right- more Americans should look through different eyes, but it's not easy to do. I wonder how a lot of Europeans see themselves when they have been such a burden on other countries.

Or, until the next tragedy where we step in to help, like a tsunami, hurricane, earthquake, etc.

Foreign money is moving back to the US- they wouldn't do that if they thought it was a short-term situation.

A few posts back someone accused you of being an anti-semite. Where in hell would they get that idea?

Agreed, Tuttle proved that point with his continuous Anti-Semitic comments. People like that will never change. He was probably brought up that way.

I dont believe Ive seen anyone in this thread defending Trump or debating any policies. Its been mostly about criticizing those like yourself that are so blinded by one party that they dont see any fault of their own and try to place all blame on the other side. But you keep telling yourself different.

I'm not confused, you seem to be.

I said that the design of a firearm is inherently defective and it is this design defect that causes it to be an unsafe product. I am not referring to any firearm that does not function as designed.

Again, if it were anything but a gun that was not protected by antiquated laws, its design would would be deemed defective and unsafe.

In the years to come, when voters come to their senses, this is how the laws dictating the sale and use of guns will be decided. Just like any thing else we consume.

This has to rank in the top 15 of dumbest things I’ve ever seen someone say.

It was what I learned as a goy working a few installation jobs at one of the big JCCs in the city. Then we did a few jobs in the homes of some JCC members , or whatever they're called(fanatics?). Had an old lady tell me once that America was a great country because of Israel, and she didn't understand why we put up with black people, because they ruin everything... WTF? and I think that's pretty much how that whole crowd at the JCC were like.

So like I said, call me an anti-semite and I'll just assume you're another whiny jeww.

Hmmm...perhaps, just like drugs, to some folks guns are an addiction. And, as we know, people with an addiction do not think or see clearly. They see and justify only what supports their addiction.

By the way, I can see why this stupid thing I said would scare the crap out of anyone addicted to guns.
