Are Americans really that stupid?


Tell you what Frank - move to Australia where the laws so
obviously agree with your idfiology.

:-) If I were to move to another country, I'd probably move
to tropical Canada. I like their "idfiology", and Canada's a
lot closer than Australia.

Hand grenades aren't illegal because they're hand grenades
but because they are a form of bomb. Fully automatic
weapons aren't illegal in most states because they are
fully automatic but because they would put weapons in the
hands of people that could outgun the police forces.

Wait - you mean there are laws like that? And they pretty
much work? Wow, what a revelation!

Now, how can we use that insight regarding other guns? Might
there be another country whose "idfiology" we can copy?



There are indeed such laws. And if we just had better
'sensible regulation' of explosives, the Tsarnayev brothers
would still rig up a pressure cooker. Or the erstwhile
klutzy almost-murderer-of-infidels in Chelsea:

lest you think this is a new trend:

which was illegal then, too.
