For a long time now I’ve been complaining that neither the Republicans nor the Democrats have any Core Beliefs other than a belief that winning is good, and losing is bad. For you on the Right who allowed Hatred of Biden to be your only goal, you have proven my point. Again.
The law that sits in the craw of Litigation Lawyers who dream of bankrupting gun manufacturers is the Protection of Lawful Commerce in Arms Act.
Protection of Lawful Commerce in Arms Act - Wikipedia
This law says that unless the weapon is defective you can’t sue gun makers. If the seller conducted a background check, and the transfer was approved, you can’t sue them.
I have always supported this. My analogy has been that you can’t sue Dodge for making a fast car that some idiot crashed while speeding. Or blaming Ford for a Drunk killing a family.
The Right has always approved of this law, and defended it the same way. The Core Belief behind this law, the principle if you will, was that you can’t blame a manufacturer if a weapon was used criminally.
Now of course, we have the Right determined to Get Biden, no matter the cost. And they intend on using anything they can. Anything Biden does is automatically bad. Blind hatred has trumped any Core Belief or Principle.
Now, where the weapon ends up, that is all that matters. Yes the weapons were transferred to the Afghani Army. Yes this was done to help them fight. But the weapons ended up in the hands of the Taliban, and that makes it Biden’s fault.
So how is it not Ruger’s fault when a pistol is used to murder Grandma when it was Stolen from John Smith? Ruger should have known that the weapons were going to be stolen from the lawful owner, and used in criminal activity shouldn’t they?
What you idiots on the Right are doing is weakening your own arguments in an effort to get Biden. You’ll sacrifice anything, if it might hurt Biden just a little, for just a little while. Any principle is fair game. The only thing that matters is winning. They must lose.
Why should I or anyone vote Republican? What do you stand for? What principles do you believe in? What core beliefs do you have? You can’t argue that you believe in doing what is right. You don’t. You’re throwing all those beliefs on the bonfire of your opposition.
So what is it that you on the Right actually believe in? Because it isn’t freedom. It isn’t truth. It isn’t principles. What are you left with?
