The gun industry doesn't have to create background checks, and in fact cannot create the kind you want because they would violate privacy rights and involve the FBI. Only if they use government created and approved checks can they legally get information that is not in the public domain, and if a judge sealed a case for any reason it would be hidden from your scrutiny. Sorry, but your buddies in the government botched this one, not the gun industry.Now you are getting it.
But since you guys won't go with that, we should let people who lose loved ones to gun violence sue, and if he looked like a freak, then' WHy the hell did you sell him a gun" is relevant.
A few hundred of these lawsuits, and the gun industry themselves will create meaningful background checks instead of just handing a gun to every freak who walks in the door.
I call total BS on that one. You're just making it up because it's the closest thing you can find to being racist in the slightest. Saying it's smart to obey cops with guns doesn't change his responsibility in the matter at all. It doesn't change whether he's a racist who wants to kill black suspects, shoots because he was mugged by a black man and had a flashback, or if he just squeezed too hard on the trigger. My responsibility in improving my odds of staying alive is to do exactly what he tells me to do, as quickly as possible. I would be a fool to think I could do otherwise, and you would too, I don't care how much you want to think otherwise. In fact, that's a really, really stupid and infantile argument to even attempt.Nope, that's exactly what you are arguing, that a cop should have a right to instantly shoot anyone who doesn't immediately comply with commands (and of course, we know exactly who they are going to shoot.)
Sadly, this is what happens when liberalism clouds your mind. You don't get to project your own opinions on someone else.
