Sure we will take the sacrifice... I'm sure this time capitalist will get the message and start behaving reasonably
It's like that time thousands of us reduced or eliminated meat intake and suddenly the Kardashians realized taking private jet flight to avoid a few minutes of traffic was bad and stopped doing it
Exactly... Meanwhile some poor soul goes to jail because he is too broke to pay for some parking fines
Why? Are they running low on choices to diddle?
I believe in nuclear and hope you are right ...
We already have had real close calls on nuclear (Chernobyl for example).... Have we learned from our mistakes? I hope so
You are right, this corruption case was not about regulations but, imo, that's just a matter or price and time.
A long time ago I read about some horrible explosion in a sugar refinery and was amazed how so many industries have had lethal cases like that which can be traced directly to greed (not negligence, not an accident, not a bad mix of circumstances, just greed)
Since then I have all but convinced myself that every industry out there have had a similar example (usually more than one) which is why I have zero tolerance for the notion that industry can regulate itself. Every single time a politician talks about deregulation for efficiency or job creation, what they really mean is they are taking "donations" and couldn't care less that people get hurt

I respect your attempt to narrow it down enough to maybe escape my generalization... The lesson is never put your trust in politicians
There are regulations in place
Unfortunately made and destroyed by policitians you can legally buy in the USA... They are cheap too, $10k gets you tons of access, for $100k you can make them dance like monkeys
Ah, the free* market at work
Sadly, that modicum of thought you put into it, is 10000 times more thought than most "responsible gun owners" actually muster
Not really. You'd still have way too many stupid and hateful people.
I'd gladly take an unarmed stupid, hateful people over this
"people" as in the plural of any of us are barely worth trusting with a car... And only because cars are intended for a productive purpose and many don't have a other choice for transportation (thanks to short sighted, corrupt politicians)....
There is nobody I would trust with an AR-15
And the government stepped in and addressed the situation, right? Right?
