You know how when a company produces a defective product (let's say exploding batteries), we blame the company who produced the product and the store that packaged it AND we try to prevent the defective product from being produced in the future? We learn from the mistake and we try to prevent it from happening again. Because we're mature, and we realize that not only is an individual to blame, but we can also make it harder for other individuals like them to cause the same damage to our society.

You're talking about defective products that harm people accidentally. There are plenty of examples of companies producing faulty firearms, and those firearms being recalled. This sketch is related to firearms that work perfectly and is making a statement that the person using the firearm is at fault, not thie firearm itself. I understand the point you were trying to make about cars to another person, but firearms (just like cars, knifes, and other items) do serve multiple purposes;such as hunting, self defense, and sport.

Can you show me how the repeating firearms of the 1600s compare to the repeating assault rifles that I could buy in, let's say, Texas? Let's say I'm an average citizen in the 1600s, with an average wage. Can I purchase this repeating firearm you're talking about, with the same degree that I can purchase an assault rifle? If so, and the weapons were just as deadly, then I'm amazed that there hasn't been nearly as much technological improvement as I thought.

I own it to defend myself in times of need. Whether that need be civil war, nautral disaster, or martial law. The AR-15 is not only the most practical rifle for hunting small game, but for taking out armored combatants from 50 to a maximum of 400 meters. The Second Amendment allowed civillians to own military grade firearms like cannons and naval warships. We continue to own military grade firearms. The only thing that has changed is a continual increase of government oversight and loss of personal responsibility.

matthebastage@reddit

What you're talking about is completely irrelevant to the point being made here, but just to cover it anyway: 1) Assault rifle is a pointless term, mere fear baiting that is randomly attributed to firearms people think are scary. 2) I don't personally hunt, but when I go camping I do take an AR-15 with me because wild boars are not the only danger you face in the wild in America. There are bears, wolverines, coyotes, other humans, and animals infected with rabies. 3) Zombies have nothing to do with anything, and I don't know why you brought them up. I do know people who use the zombie angle as a way to put a fun spin on hypothetical emergency situations, as many of the dangers and considerations you may have to take into account for a "zombie scenario" are the same things you would have to consider for natural disasters and periods of political unrest. 4) Your point about muskets is plain false. A good musket user can fire more than once per minute, and muskets aren't the only "arm" (armament) protected by the second amendment. Also, repeating muskets were around when the second amendment was written, they simply weren't commonplace due to their considerable cost of manufacture.

Kupfer-Kopf@reddit

Your point isn’t entirely valid because while there are some guns made for killing people, in 99.9% of cases legal self defense, there are a lot more guns that are made and sold for use in a hobby, whether it shooting sports or hunting or collecting antiques (which most are weapons of war, but called “hunting rifles” by politician definitions). What really takes the cake is that it’s a very similar situation to knives. Knives, like guns and cars, are not inherently bad. And much like firearms, knives have legitimate purposes in a (mostly) civilized world, kitchen use, also used in hunting, collecting, and self defense if guns are not available. So you saying that guns only exist to kill people and therefore should be banned is not only a false claim, but was using an incorrect comparison and provided limited (if any) sourcing. My sourcing would be the subreddit, consisting of people who do all of the previously mention things, you came onto to spout anti gun bull, despite this very place being in favor of what you don’t like.

Target shooting and shooting competitions are predicated on making your shots accurately and faster than your competitor.

[example pistol](https://gundigest.com/wp-content/uploads/DVC-Open_profile-right.jpg) [Anti-material rifles](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Barrett_M82#/media/File:Barrett-M82A1-Independence-Day-2017-IZE-048-white.jpg) are designed for anti-material purposes. A number of "firearms" are designed as signaling devices. Specific types of ammunition for firearms have been designed for other purposes i.e. .50 Beowulf was designed to stop a vehicle's engine from running. None of those are deigned or meant to kill people. The AR-15 wasn't even designed to kill people. The requirements for its design were a 6 pound, select-fire .22 rifle with a conventional stock and a 20 round magazine. That could achieve a muzzle velocity of 3300fps with a 55 grain bullet.

How are you supposed to defend from a tyrannical government, domestic or foreign, if your guns can fire 1 round every 2 minutes but theirs can fire 1400 rounds every 2 minutes?

I’m assuming you believe the police are an all-divine entity that never makes mistakes and always arrives on time, as well. Rapes stopped, carjackings stopped, home invasions stopped, far stumps the numbers of gun deaths in the US. Its not a gun problem. We just have bad people in our country, more than others. If you can’t even begin to look at other factors, you’re far beyond saving. We’re done here

Let's also compromise. We will only have voting laws like in the 1700s. Abortions can only be done using 1700s methods. Free speech is only protected if done with 1700s technology.

The way you're talking it sounds like you would be for only white males able to vote since that's how it was during this time period you keep bringing up. Those weapons you speak about that took 2 minutes to reload were the same ones that the government had, the most advanced firearms at that time. Weapons evolve but even so, citizens historically have always been able to have the same firearms as the government.. You wishing wishing government having fire superiority over its citizens goes completely against the constitution.

By your logic, should I then blame your parents for raising a soft-headed coward in a world already overflowing with the like? Or should I blame the school system for not teaching you what happens to a populace that's been disarmed? Every people of my heritage, the Lakota, the German Jew, the Polish, the Irish, has been systematically disarmed, oppressed, and killed by the governments of their time and place. All thought, "It's not that bad, yet, we'll comply, then they'll leave us alone," or "It'll never happen here." And yet it happened anyway. The history of mankind is littered with the corpses of the compliant and the harmless. I don't advocate doing violence on others. I believe in peace and nonaggression. I simply believe that to be peaceful, one must first be capable of great violence, or else one is not peaceful. One is harmless. "And how we burned in the camps later, thinking: What would things have been like if every Security operative, when he went out at night to make an arrest, had been uncertain whether he would return alive and had to say good-bye to his family? Or if, during periods of mass arrests, as for example in Leningrad, when they arrested a quarter of the entire city, people had not simply sat there in their lairs, paling with terror at every bang of the downstairs door and at every step on the staircase, but had understood they had nothing left to lose and had boldly set up in the downstairs hall an ambush of half a dozen people with axes, hammers, pokers, or whatever else was at hand?... We didn't love freedom enough. And even more – we had no awareness of the real situation.... We purely and simply deserved everything that happened afterward." Aleksandr I. Solzhenitsyn, "The Gulag Archipelago"

>company produces a defective product (let's say exploding batteries), we blame the company who produced the product Are you for real? Any company that makes a DEFECTIVE product gets blamed and can be sued. If I bludgeon you with a flashlight, will you sue Surefire? No, because they didn't sell a DEFECTIVE product; the operator misused it. Just like with firearms, an operator has to misuse them for it to be an offense. You're being obtuse and intellectually dishonest.

😂 did you read that guys comments? Calling functional products defective is not the worst of his logic. Not sure why people are even engaging with him when the bottom line is he enjoys freedoms we are fortunate to have. They would not be freedoms we enjoy if not for an armed society using the very inanimate objects he despises. He doesn’t see the irony of telling people to do research when he must be ignorant to the fact that mass shootings were not common when you were able to order machine guns out of catalogs shipped to your door. Those days are long gone yet even with more gun laws in place than ever before mass shootings have become commonplace. No point in arguing with someone that refuses to accept it is an inalienable right, a way to protect life and freedom, I also get plenty of happiness out of shooting sporting clays and ringing steel targets.

A firearm being used effectively in a criminal act is entirely different from being defective. It was effective, just criminally misused. If I were to intentionally drop my washing machine on an innocent person, Maytag has zero liability for making a defective product in that case. But if their washing machine was designed negligently such that it caused house fires, that would be a case where they were plausibly liable. To highlight why criminal intent matters, I’ll add one more example. Guns are used in war. And most people that are not pure pacifists will tend to side with one side being at least somewhat more justified than the other. In my estimation, Ukraine defending themselves is much more a justified act. But in practice, the act of using a gun as designed is the same—either side is using the weapon with the intent to end the life of their opponent. On neither side is the creation of the weapon the most concerning act—for Ukraine’s sake, those weapons being made to be as deadly as possible to their opponent is a morally good thing. And yet, it’s very possible that arms on the battlefield in the Russia-Ukraine war were indeed made by the same manufacturer. And furthermore, when Ukraine appropriates a gun or a tank that Russia abandoned, that literal same gun is then being used for a morally good purpose, where it previously was used for evil. Blaming the weapon itself, or the manufacturer, is nonsense. Whether intentional or not, sneaking *defective products* into questions about criminal uses of a thing is a confusion of the moral question.

Wait, so the firearm manufacturer made a defective human?! Maybe the human held the gun and the defective gun forced the human to walk into a school and made the human shoot those people? I get it now.

I usually say area of effect weapons. Explosives and the like. Not banning them per se but they really do require safe storage and regular inspections etc. The resource cost alone of acquiring and maintaining them is a bit self selecting, and I think sunshine on the details like location and quantity is valuable for maintaining sanity in application. To be honest the real problem is loss of reasonable cultural expectations for weapon ownership. Rebuilding that is going to be a bear.
