ORIGINAL: Musicmystery Yet again . . . That's why I get opposing LAW. Please read that part. I've said that several times, and you continue to ignore it. But I also oppose banning the gun -- that's equally anti-market. Not a smart gun requirement, but a smart gun option. That's how free markets -- and a free people -- work. It's also where the NRA tips its hand as an industry group, not a consumer group. I have no problem with the option, but I can't support it as long as it going on the market, particularly while just filling one minor niche, constitutes banning those things it should compete with in the marketplace. You can't have the open competition while these laws are in place. It sounds good to say "I oppose those laws but put something new in the market place to compete" but you know that it won't be competing it will be take it or leave it and the market will have no say. You have to be able to comprehend that claiming that when the other guns are banned, which they are under these laws there is no competing. I said the same thing in the 80's when they were talking about making the car companies go over to electric cars. If the product is forced on people they have no motivation to improve, talk about a cartel. The gun banning part is more anti market than anything the NRA could ever do.
