If everyone chopped off their fingers, this wouldn’t have happened.

This story doesn’t promote stupid gun laws as much as it promotes caretaker responsibility.

And banning shoebombs infringes on law-abiding air passengers’ 2nd amendment right to defend themselves from criminals wielding boxcutters.

won’t someone think of the poor bombs?

…
Since he is a minor, his name has been withheld
Guess Gone Wild: the 12yo’s name is Charleton Nugent Lankford.

And he was only defending his kins’ parental rights.

I have also noticed, over the years, that a high percentage of crashes seem to involve an unlicensed, uninsured driver. Just sayin’

I’m also having a hard time understanding what the point of these gun threads are. Is it just a “gotcha” trap, in which gun nuts are lured and tricked into saying “gun laws blah blah” and several of you leap with glee to point out that nobody (especially Greg) has advocated such?

Some of you might be interested in

which includes research by Lt. Col. David Grossman, a retired US Ranger who is a PhD in psychology. These folks see violence (both foreign and domestic) as a security threat, and discuss problems such as
1. How do you turn sane people into killers, but for only specific circumstances (e.g. cops and soldiers)?
2. How are we unintentionally turning some of our civilian population into sociopaths, and how do we prevent that?
3. Grossman notes that US schools have seen numerous multiple shootings over the years, but essentially no deaths by fire. Why do we have fire drills but few mass shooting drills?

As far as I know, driving a car is a privilege, not a right, in the USA, and it is heavily regulated. Because every one knows that you cannot just allow anyone unregulated, untrained access to large petrol fueled vehicles…I mean, someone might get hurt.

Alcohol consumption, both with regard to access and minimum age, is regulated in your country to a degree that most Europeans find creepy/obsessive. And then there is drunk driving, where hysterical is the applicable word. DUI is dangerous!

You even regulate the size of toilet cisterns, because, as everyone knows, wasting water is “A Bad Thing”.

However, everyone, mentally unstable or not, trained or not, is apparently allowed almost unrestricted access to tools whose express design and default purpose is to kill.

And apparently, any attempt to restrict this right is Communism/socialism, or is against the law of God, or contrary to basic principles of physics, or something…

More people have died in the USA from firearms since WW2 than troops have died in all your foriegn wars. This is one part of American Exceptionalism that you cannot be proud of.

They wonder why people think they are crazy?

As for Bill James(43), possibly a course of remedial reading is called for?

If Wagner is going to bitch about U.S. gun laws, it would be good if Wagner was actually a citizen.

I’ll be goddamned if that’s enough. I say anyone bitching about U.S. gun laws needs to have been SHOT, preferably repeatedly (just once doesn’t REALLY count). I mean, what do they have to complain about otherwise?

Oh wait. Where exactly did Wagner say anything at all about (U.S.) gun laws?

Wagner, who tried and failed (presumably) to kill a chicken (for eating) and thereby would go to bed hungry, strikes of debilitating weakness not uncommon among cowards in lack of both stomach and spine. And so we have Wagner with its hand out demanding someone else provide it a chicken in a manner acceptable to Wagner. Typical Gliberal.
