(57,793 posts)You ignored the fundamental argument that lawsuits do not bankrupt industries in order to focus on a particular example, one that would require a finding by a jury to prevail. You ignore everything that challenges your love of guns. You cannot and do not mount a persuasive or consistent argument.
America--not I--is failing because of the influence of corporate money that privileges profits above human life. Guns are one of many areas where that is the case. You have done nothing but confirm you support that power structure, at least as long as it suits your fetish for gun proliferation. You site rights as a justification for guns, but do not support rights that don't meet your own self-interests. Aligning yourself with corporate power is a handy way to secure your self-interests. It's hardly surprising that you and the GOP are so committed to their unfettered profits.
I have no illusions of every changing your mind. You aren't honest enough to examine your own ideological inconsistencies. I expect you'll go to you grave clinging to your right-wing views on guns. Change won't depend on you. It will happen despite you and your allies in the gun lobby.
