67. I am not using him for a poster boy.
I have already stated that I find his actions reprehensible, and that he may have broken some other laws.

I am objecting to much of the wrong gun information being posted.

"If you don't count the thousands shot and wounded every day." Thousands??? Talk about hype & fraud! And CCWs are NOT handed out like candy. One has to pass a strict background check and attend classes and pass tests to get a CCW.

Guns makers will still be subject to the same liability laws as everyone else. If a defect in my gun causes it to injure me, I can sue. But if a third party misuses a gun, and the gun functions as it was designed to, then there can't be a suit. (If the bill passes the house.)

The AWB was a cosmetics bill. For example, the TEC-9 had the threads removed from the barrel and was sold as the AB-10. Otherwise it was the EXACT SAME GUN.


"why does any gun owner need "cosmetics" on his gun?" Why does anybody need anything? Why do some cars, have spoilers, racing stripes, and mag wheels - even if the car only has a normal engine? Why do clothes have to have different styles? Wouldn't it be cheaper to dress everybody in a Mao suit? I guess you just have a problem with people being free to make their own decisions about cosmetic items. If a person wants a scary looking gun, and the internal functioning is the same, then that's their freedom.
