You are right, this corruption case was not about regulations but, imo, that's just a matter or price and time.

A long time ago I read about some horrible explosion in a sugar refinery and was amazed how so many industries have had lethal cases like that which can be traced directly to greed (not negligence, not an accident, not a bad mix of circumstances, just greed)

Since then I have all but convinced myself that every industry out there have had a similar example (usually more than one) which is why I have zero tolerance for the notion that industry can regulate itself. Every single time a politician talks about deregulation for efficiency or job creation, what they really mean is they are taking "donations" and couldn't care less that people get hurt

I respect your attempt to narrow it down enough to maybe escape my generalization... The lesson is never put your trust in politicians

There are regulations in place

Unfortunately made and destroyed by policitians you can legally buy in the USA... They are cheap too, $10k gets you tons of access, for $100k you can make them dance like monkeys

Ah, the free* market at work

Sadly, that modicum of thought you put into it, is 10000 times more thought than most "responsible gun owners" actually muster

Not really. You'd still have way too many stupid and hateful people.

I'd gladly take an unarmed stupid, hateful people over this

"people" as in the plural of any of us are barely worth trusting with a car... And only because cars are intended for a productive purpose and many don't have a other choice for transportation (thanks to short sighted, corrupt politicians)....

There is nobody I would trust with an AR-15

It makes perfect sense when you consider Republicans are the party of sMAlL GoVurnmebt

This is the right point to make... Instead of managing people by the work they do or the objectives they achieve, they are managing literally where their butts sit

How dare you.... <Eye squint>

Which business isn't? I honestly want to know to restore a semblance of hope in humanity

AFAIK, a business that is not in bed with corrupt politicians is because they have ready been beaten or they can't afford it

It's pronounced "stremiOH-Sa"
