Re: Can you believe this!!!! Gunmaker pays sniper victims
I don't disagree, at all. <br /><br />Here is the hypothetical problem.... <br />A man's wife wrongs him. He finds out she is carrying on with the mail man, the paper boy, the UPS driver, and the meter reader. He decides to kill her. He has never been arrested. He has no history of mental illness. He has never been in any socially deviant or politically subversive group. He is not a registered member of any hate or racist group. He has never filed bankruptcy, had a car repossessed, a house foreclosed on, or been late with his taxes. He is an angry man, who has decided to kill his wife. <br /><br />Obviously, these are the wrong hands for a gun to be in.<br /><br />But, isn't a background check all we can do to find out? And isn't it his fault if he kills her?<br /><br />If we don't allow this apparantly upstanding man to purchase a firearm, who do we allow to?<br /><br />And how is Smith & Wesson, or Bushmaster Firearms responsible for what he does, and why should they pay?<br /><br />If he uses a Craftsman hammer should Sears Pay? If he uses a Louisville Slugger, should Louisville Slugger pay?
<br /><br />In all honesty, I dont mind at all a background check or waiting period. It may slow down a criminal long enough so they may get caught.<br /><br />What I do mind is that a gunmaker paid a victim money just because their gun was used in the crime.<br /><br />Ken
