Reply #40: Yeah, like I haven't heard the "manufactured to kill" argument before

[Euromutt]

And it never gets and less disingenuous nor more persuasive, no matter how often it's repeated.

A motor vehicle is a two-ton-plus bludgeon made to travel at dozens of miles an hour, by dint of which it is capable of inflicting more than enough blunt force trauma to kill a human. A swimming pool is a structure made to hold a volume of water more than sufficient to fully submerge a fully grown human, by dint of which a person can drown in one. Whether they were "manufactured to kill" doesn't make a difference to the "standard of responsibility"; what matters is that they can kill, and quite readily too.

By your "greater standard of responsibility," it would be more deplorable to wound one person with a negligent discharge than to cause a motor vehicle collision resulting in multiple deaths.
