Letter to the editor: Sue over guns? Why not killer cars and food, too?
President Biden wants to let people who have had loved ones killed by guns be able to sue gun manufacturers and gun dealers because they should have known that the guns will kill people, rather than the buyer who is using them being responsible.
What about those killed by cars and trucks? Will they be able to sue those manufacturers and dealers? They should know they might kill people if not used correctly. Most kids can’t wait to get their driver’s licenses when they become of age.
What about food that goes bad? It had to go bad some place. Do we sue the grocery stores and distributors, the truckers or anyone who handles it, and even back to the farmers who grew it? We all need to eat; we’re not going to change that.
Where does it all end? Why can’t we blame the people for their actions?
Biden sounds like a typical Democrat to me: Blame someone else for their mistakes.
May I make a suggestion? Execute those who kill other people. Maybe then there will be no repeat offenders, and other people would think twice before doing it.
Oops: Then the state will save money; less need for lawyers and prisons. No job creation there!
