2022-02-15: a comment compares Ford's liability for making a car which was used to kill someone with Remington's liability for making a gun which was used to kill someone: «We have to stop car violence.»
How many times does it need to be pointed out that this is what driver's licenses are for, and that if gun licenses were treated with the same level of seriousness as driver's licenses, we probably wouldn't be arguing about this?
...even though cars are much more necessary for survival in many US places than guns are, and therefore guns should probably be more heavily regulated.
2022-02-15: another comment notes that «Guns don’t shoot themselves.»
Yes. Guns don't kill people -- people kill people. This is why we need to keep guns away from people. (...but also no, sometimes they do shoot themselves. They're dangerous, no matter how you slice it.)
Also, Scott says «Is "dumb on Remington's part" code for "inconvenient for the lib-owning gun nut narrative"?» but BK clearly misinterprets this as somehow calling him a lib, which it obviously isn't.
