Hillary Clinton's Gun Plan
-
Here[^] "Democratic presidential front-runner Hillary Clinton is set to unveil a sweeping gun control proposal Monday that would include closing the "gun show loophole" and allowing victims of gun violence to sue firearm manufacturers." Does that mean I can sue a car manufacturer if a drunk drier hits me? Another stupid knee-jerk reaction to gun violence that will have no effect.

Who in the U.S. cares? For the most part, the exported guns don't kill Americans.
If you have an important point to make, don't try to be subtle or clever. Use a pile driver. Hit the point once. Then come back and hit it again. Then hit it a third time - a tremendous whack. --Winston Churchill

Actually some do. Remember fast and furious. (Guns to drug lords)

Fast & Furious wasn't exported guns.. at least not legally. It was the BATF sending guns to Mexico to discredit the NRA/Gun Owners/Gun Culture.

Paul Walker's daughter seems to think so.

The car-gun-analogy doesn't work, here's why: To drive a car you need to prove you're able to do so by taking a test. Any idiot person can by a gun without proof of the ability how it's to be handled.
Kitty at my foot and I waAAAant to touch it...

that doesn't work either. You can prove you know how to shoot a gun and handle a gun. Then 3 weeks later, that person kills 9 people, and then themselves. What studies are starting to show is that "some" of these people should have been institutionalized for life, and could have been done a long time ago. However, we have no laws or checks and balances for bat shit crazy people in this country.

Actually there are now guidelines (if not laws) that say we cannot lock people up for being "different". Who can it be now?

Good point. Very dangerous territory, defining "different" from bat shit "shoot everyone in the theatre" crazy. However, I think we (America) need to dedicate some serious recon into this path of action. I should not have to give up my guns because of my bat shit crazy neighbor's actions.

Can I sue a match company if my house catches fire?

But people are allowed to sue cigarette manufacturers. By that logic, if someone produces a product which can cause injury/death to people, we should be able to sue him. PS. Is there any purpose to which a handgun could be put that doesn't cause injury or death? Target shooting is merely practice for shooting at people.

Indeed, indeed! Bat shít crazy neighbours would demand owning a gun or two. Cheers!

Are citizens of Germany allowed to own guns?

There is quite some buerocratic overhead involved (a massive understatement) to even just own a gun here in Germany, let alone carry one. Actually anything which can be used as a weapon is regulated by German Law. You can browse it here to your hearts content: Weapons Act (WaffG)[^] Cheers!
