Possibly - or it's possible they just have a higher average intelligence or teach their kids to be responsible for their own lives.  Same result either way.

Our mistake was letting your kind breed - too late to worry about it now.

But the pendulum always swings. You and your kind have taught kids what life under the woke yoke looks like, and they're fleeing the left in horror. So there you go.

Probably this. Its futile to want to change the world as one person. Its wiser, to make yourself as much a contributor socially, as possible, and be the change you seek in the world. You can't control what others do. This is the disconnect those who are woke, don't get.

Oh yes, and the people that make guns have no responsibility for their use either.

 

Sugar is addictive!

GAMBLING, is addictive!  It causes harm not only to the addicted person, but to the whole family!

They gotta sue everyone!  From makers of processed food to medicines that have side-effects!

 

 

Another point is, who's gonna decide the company that's going to get sued?

Switzerland has among the highest gun ownership per capita, in the world. Nothing like the US, regarding mass shootings, even though a significant portion of the country owns a firearm.

There is also a very high ownership of assault rifles, there. I don't buy for a second, that the US issue is a gun problem.

Its a cultural issue.

Switzerland also isn't facing moral decay. They're not destroying institutions, or what used to me men or women. They don't push highly divisive issues. In fact, they're insanely neutral, politically.

Living in Switzerland isn't miserable.

Combine misery, with lax laws on gun ownership, and a cowboy mentality regarding gun use--and you'll likely have a recipe for disaster, and people using guns as a first resort, vs a last possible one.

That's part of the well regulated militia you guys ignore. Swiss have mandatory military service and a lot of these are service weapons. Yes they have high gun ownership but they also do a lot of things you refuse to do. 

https://switzerlandadvisor.com/switzerland-gun-ownership-facts-and-regulations/

Also, in 2013 Switzerland had a referendum on conscription and 73% voted in favour of keeping conscription. So yes. the difference is cultural.

I could point to many other high per capita countries that still don't struggle with lone wolf shootings. 

While you are correct most of these are in fact service weapons and their regulations are insanely strict, the US is more of a cultural issue than a regulation one.

Regulations need to fit the culture, not the other way around.

So your argument is that if we had manditory military service in Canada we'd be safe to own whatever firearms we want?

Well it would help. While Swiss reservists take their weapons home, ammunition is kept at armouries. The US has a culture that is willing to accept a high body count.

The us has a high degree of service in national guards and such and many of the mass killings were done by ex military.

Seems like its' something else.

Yep - anything you don't like is 'problematic' so basically the law covers everything you don't like.

That's problematic

So - a lot of products cause harm.

Is the gov going to sue them all...........or, it'll just cherry-pick and discriminate?

If we analyzed every product except water.. you could find that it is harmful to someone. How about folks simply take responsibility. In my 20's drank way too much mountain dew. Result... all sorts of dental problems. Have I ever sought assistance in paying for it? No.

Exactly. And cars and tools are subject to regulations. Like those cars you can't buy here as they ave no bumpers, pollution control or safety standards. Drills and saw without sheilded cable or grounds.

Guys that make exploding gas tanks in their Pintos are subject to lawsuits.
