What gets me is the "I don't give a shit" attitude about the industry, and the disconnect about the damage these weapon's cause. Ergo the term "gun nut." "It might seem strange that ownership of a single household object is so strongly tied to voting behavior and broader political attitudes in America. But America is an outlier relative to other industrialized nations in its gun ownership rates." --Nate Silver

The thing I like about your posts -- is that you understand how inherently dangerous these weapons are and you don't regard them as fetishized toys. About the only thing I recall reading is requirements about storage regulations (Aswad) and you seem to have focused more on background checks. I think it would be helpful to open up doors for the victims of gun violence to sue the manufacturers and distributors of inherently dangerous weapons. These costs should be shifted where they belong. The problem with this liability idea is that the shooter in an "intervening cause," but the automatic-assault weapons themselves enable mass murder, and to me constitute an "intervening cause" the jumps a deranged gunman into a mass murderer.

quote: the notion that liberals are unmanly wusses is a right wing construct, rather than a leftist one. Agreed. I said exactly that in the paragraph just before the one you quoted.
