A plea to Bernie Sanders supporters.

136. Fair enough. For the record I think Bernie is great, even though I disagree with him on

guns, and I also don't think there's much chance of reasonable gun policy in this country for several decades at least, regardless of who is president. Which is really too bad, because we're the only first-world nation that hasn't figured out the gun violence problem, but it is what it is.

And, yeah, check out the movie, it's good.

As far as gun companies being sued out of existence, my basic take is that if a company's products are so detrimental to society that they aren't financially viable without special legal protection against civil suits, those companies should either change their corporate policies or else cease to exist. And this does not just relate to guns. If, for example, high-frequency trading firms somehow were found liable for causing financial instability and congress then decided to prohibit civil lawsuits against them because they claimed they couldn't continue providing society with the benefits of high-frequency trading activities if they also had to pay for the damages that they caused, I would be equally against it.
