It's time to repeal the GOP/NRA liability protection of gun makers and sellers

45. Yes, a governor. We do it with cars all the time.

Governor (device)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

A governor, or speed limiter, is a device used to measure and regulate the speed of a machine, such as an engine. A classic example is the centrifugal governor, also known as the Watt or fly-ball governor, which uses weights mounted on spring-loaded arms to determine how fast a shaft is spinning, and then uses proportional control to regulate the shaft speed.

If a properly designed auto that you drive down the street can have a governor, why not a semi-auto?

It simply a question of properly designing products intended for civilian use.

We're talking about a defective product here. A consumer product that is extremely unsafe due to a poorly thought out and negligent design.

That should create clear liability, should anybody be injured or killed as a result of this rather obvious design defect.

Auto manufacturers have been designing and manufacturing their products with governors for years.

Why have gun manufacturers been so negligent?

Why did so many bullets come out of that AR-15 Bushmaster so fast?

Why did the AR-15 accept multiple 30-round Classroom Clips in such a short period of time?

Did the gun not know what was happening?

Was the gun not aware of what was transpiring in that classroom?

Were there no sensors?

Why is it that my car is self aware enough to notify me when maintenance is needed, and this gun is is too stupid to recognize that there may be a massacre going on?

In 2012, such stupidity on the part of a dangerous consumer product is a design flaw.
