    Well, given that a 4-year-old was able to kill someone with it, some of those questions seem to have answered themselves.

    Don't the answers to your question seem self evident given that the shooter was 4.

    Part of that is the demeanor of government workers living off the taxpayers and forgetting who the "customer" is. These people are lazy, surly, inefficient.

    Sheriff Bryan said this was all just a horrible accident, "He took all the precautions, he's a trained law enforcement officer, trains with weapons all the time."

    Horrible accident, yes. But, geez, did that deputy screw up. And it cost him his wife.
     
  5. That sheriff is awfully ignorant about what taking precautions is.

    Yah, so are the drones at Wal-Mart, the bastion of pure free market capitalism.

    You do realize that without Walmart, which I'm not a great fan of for reasons other than yours, we'd be paying $50 for $10 shirts and hamburger would be $7 a pound, just for examples?

    You buy your shirts and hamburgers at Walmart?

    Hamburger meat. You know, Walmart does have groceries.

    Which would you rather have, a $10 shirt? Or an American textile business?

    Interesting to note how many of these jobs we sent overseas.

    Kept a great deal of the gunmaking domestic, however.

    Your wages, Azrael, won't go up squat with those textiles back here. The one-world economy rules now, for better or worse, and it's why U.S. jobs and earnings won't grow ever in most of the production jobs. Those who thought everything would balance out and wages in sweat shops would be forced up don't understand or are just plain ignoring how long the road to catching up is, and how good the corporates feel for keeping that rate as slow as possible.

    What did we pay for ground beef before Wal Mart?

    How did my parents survive?
