I’m an incorrigible enlightened centrist on guns. I don’t really give a shit either way. Both sides have some good points and some really fucking stupid points. It pisses everyone off. It’s great.

One of the really fucking stupid points on the anti-gun side is this deranged obsession with suing gun shops and manufacturers. If you want to change the laws, that’s great, go for it, but these are law abiding businesses. They shouldn’t be responsible for selling someone who was legally allowed to have a gun, any more than Home Depot should be if they sell someone a chainsaw that’s used in a Texas massacre. It’s a tool. It’s legal to buy, sell, and own. We have a constitutional prohibition on ex post facto laws in Article I, Section 9. The lawyers bringing these cases seriously ought to face consequences with the State Bar. They’re frivolous and absurd.
