Preformance based LAWS?

How about when Congress fails to balance the budget they don't paid? How about when schools fail to teach their budget gets cut? This could be fun.

12,000 deaths

how about the 100,000 that die a year from alcohol. i want to say so much more but than i would just be ranting.

Back home in Scotland, I never, ever worried about being shot - even on those rare occasions I found myself in some of the more run-down areas. Tight gun control laws meant it just didn't happen that much. On the other hand, knife crime is absolutely rampant. I can't imagine it's much comfort when you're lying in a pool of your own blood after being stabbed  thinking to yourself 'well at least I wasn't shot...'

Idiots will find weapons whatever controls are put in place. All they do is put the law abiding at a disadvantage.

Based on this proposition the two groups in this country that take part in most of the fatal shootings are the police and minority criminals age 15-35. The fatalities by police shootings are factored, so it leaves only one group to kill and incarcerate to achive the lunitic goals of the two Ivory Tower geniuses who wrote this article. Essentialy they are betting the gun manufactuers would fail and put themselves out of business. That does not violate the spirit of "shall not be infringed".

These two are being serious and betting on Obama and a Dem controled congress getting around the recent Heller decision through regulation of the firearms industry. We will see more of these left feild brain flatulators as it gets closer to november.

A subsequent United States Department of Justice report which surveyed homicide statistics between 1974 and 2004 stated that of the crimes surveyed, 52.1% of the offenders were black, 45.9% were white, and 2% were "Other Races."

Considering that the US is just less than 13% black and assuming that guns were used evenly among the homicides committed by the various races, wouldn't it be statistically sound to decrease homicides by denying gun ownership to black people? This is about as stupid an idea as believing crime will be reduced by denying law abiding citizens gun ownership.

If you simply deny ownership to black people based on the face value of the FBI statistics you are taking the real bait. Then the balck criminals will be found shooting each other with balck market criminal guns which types and models still are factored into the performance based laws. Ergo manufacturers get put out of business.

This then kicks in the hidden agenda by reveiling a need for more regulation because of the numbers of black markets guns that will surface after you deny the balcks their constitutional right to keep and bare arms while they prove thay are criminals by shooting each other with those balck market guns.

And now you are helping the Liberal professors prove the need to repeal the 2nd Amdnment and let the balck criminals get back to killing us and each other giving the Dems reasons to exist and tax us to fight the problems creating balck criminals in our society. When a balck criminal is not shooting he can be voting DemoRat.....

How about government? Can we hold it to a performance based standard? How about we set up some standards that automatically eliminate government offices when they don't meet those standards?

Bet they would cry foul.

but what about the doctors who work in the fields of mental illness?

Shouldn't they be regulated based on performance?  if the gunman is found to be crazy then they are the ones who are failing?

what if he has been in the justice system in the past?  shouldn't the judges and prosecutors be liable?

There's alotta shocking things' in this post. But by far, what knocked me the farthest on my ass, was...Lasz didn't use a single 3-period pause in his post!!!!!!    



 

Mostly, though (and seriously) Trying to blame crime and violence, which have been around since Human's first figured out that you could beat another Neanderthal's brain in with a rock, on the tool, is sheer folly. If that was the case, you would need a license to buy a carpet knife, or a federal background check to use airline cutlery.

The scary thing is, is that when the powers' that be figure this out. At that point, they might go back to prefrontal labotimization of anyone they choose. Or, You'll get to take your gov't. mandated "meds" everyday, to make sure you stay docile...
