More Tampering With The Free Market By The Gun Cult

Man, the Gun Cult really doesn't like the free market...

Threats against Maryland gun dealer raise doubts about future of smart guns

The latest skirmish over the nation’s first smart gun, marked this week by death threats against a Maryland gun dealer who wanted to sell the weapon, has raised doubts about its future and prompted some gun-control advocates to back away from legislative efforts to mandate the technology. Engage Armament, a Rockville gun shop, endured an outpouring of vitriol from gun rights activists who fear the technology will be used to curtail their Second Amendment rights by limiting the kinds of guns they can buy in the future.

What kind of vitriol?

Somebody told one of Raymond’s workers that the store, Engage Armament, wouldn’t be selling the gun because there wouldn’t be a store — it will burn down. At another point, Raymond picked up the phone and said, “Hi, this is Andy. How can I help you?” The caller said, “You’re the guys selling the smart gun?” Raymond tried to reason with him. But the caller said, “You’re gonna get what’s coming to you (expletive).”

Cool. I guess he had to sleep in his store because he worried his private property would be damaged.

What a mentally balanced group of people...

Mandate huh? That doesn't sound like free market...

Something else I just thought of...this gun store owner has a lot of guns, right? And yet here is someone threatening him. I thought guns were supposed to be a deterrent against "bad guys"...

Gun rights advocates are worried about a New Jersey law under which only smart handguns can be sold there within three years of being sold anywhere in the country. The law, they fear, will be replicated in other states. Similar proposals have been introduced in California and Congress.

Just that right-wing paranoia talkin' - isn't it oh dumbshit leftwit?

Yeah, I really want a public health PhD setting gun design standards.

Fucking idiot left-wing bullshit and M is rolling in it like a pig.

“I did not know I would be screwing you over,” Raymond said in the video. “I’m terribly sorry. . . . You don’t have anything to worry about from me.” He was furious about the death threats. “That’s a great thing for gun rights,” he said, “when you threaten to shoot somebody.”

So which part makes you most angry M - that we was potentially fucking over people in NJ, that he apologized or that you can't wave around a bloody handkerchief?

I agree with him that the threats were horrific and wrong. Do you agree with his subsequent statement about people shooting politicians instead of himself?
