So, you would outlaw the sale of ANYTHING sold as a weapon?

Laws like that are already on the books.  That's what remington is being sued over, and it's gone all the way to the supremes already.

Swords are sold as novelties or collectors items.  Archery is a sport.  When gun manufacturers went all in on that "kill the bad guy coming for you in your home" shit....they put themselves is legally perilous territory.  They knew it then, too..but the money was just too good.

I don’t think that’s legally possible or ethically supportable. You can’t select one class of legal product out of thousands and hold the manufacturer responsible for that product’s criminal misuse.

Suppose I make a bomb out of chemical fertilizer and blow up a building, killing dozens of people and injuring hundreds more. Is DowAgro responsible for those deaths and injuries?

Why should guns be treated differently than other products?

Jan. 6 riot defendant returned to jail for using internet

Quote:OWA CITY, Iowa (AP) — A federal judge on Thursday ordered a prominent participant in the Jan. 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol to return to jail after he was caught accessing the internet to watch false conspiracy theories about the presidential election.

U.S. District Judge Timothy Kelly said that Doug Jensen, 42, of Des Moines, Iowa, had violated the strict conditions that were set when he released Jensen from jail on July 13, including prohibitions on accessing the internet and using a cellphone.

Kelly ordered marshals at the federal courthouse in Des Moines, where Jensen attended Thursday's hearing, to immediately take him into custody as he awaits trial.

Prosecutors had moved to revoke Jensen’s pretrial release on Aug. 19, days after a federal officer found Jensen in his garage using an iPhone to watch news from Rumble, a streaming platform popular with conservatives.

Jensen acknowledged that he had earlier watched two days of the cyber symposium sponsored by MyPillow CEO Mike Lindell, an ally of former President Donald Trump who used the event to push false theories that the presidential election's outcome was changed by Chinese hackers.

Kelly noted that he had released Jensen from jail on July 13 after Jensen claimed he had an awakening behind bars and realized the QAnon conspiracy theory to which he adhered was a “pack of lies.” The judge said he put in place the strict conditions, including the internet ban, because Jensen had previously spent years following online conspiracies and acknowledged he had become a “true believer” and “digital soldier.”

As pointed out in the current Private Eye (lampooning a tabloid "exclusive") the band made the exact same announcement in 2019, but had to shelve their comeback plans over Covid.

Fuckheads should be prosecuted to the full extent of the law for their coup, ie life without parle or firing squads.  The softly softly approach didn't work with Hitler, why does anybody think it'll work with these neo-nazi fucks?
