Warren wants to hold gun manufacturers 'Strictly liable for compensatory damages'

Democratic presidential candidate and fake Cherokee Native American Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-MA) released her  "plan for gun violence prevention," which was published on Medium, a blogging platform.

Her plan makes as much sense as it would to hold her and her tribe responsible for American deaths in the Revolutionary War when the Cherokee fought alongside the British.

Her plan with its 30 bullet points regarding gun control, many of which are plagiarized from other Democrat leftists, include a 30% "increased excise taxes on firearms" and a 50% increase for ammunition. She would also ban "high capacity ammunition magazines," and lengthen waiting periods for firearm purchases.

But the real insane point is for having "gun manufacturers" to be "strictly liable" for how their products are used. Why not also do that with knife manufacturers, fertilizer producers and automobile manufacturers? It's the same logic.

Warren’s naive plan states that by increasing excise taxes, the United States can "reduce new gun and ammunition sales overall and to bring in new federal revenue that we can use for gun violence prevention and enforcement of existing gun laws."

As for the new federal assault weapons ban, Warren’s plan would "require individuals already in possession of assault weapons to register them under the National Firearms Act." The plan would also enact a firearms buyback program that would impose "penalties" on gun owners who don’t register or turn in their "assault weapons."

Eventually, when gun owners refuse to give up their Second Amendment rights, she would do what Australia has done and have a mandatory gun confiscation assault on lawful gun owners.

Warren doesn’t specify what "high-capacity" means, but states that Congress should determine "reasonable limits on the lethality of these weapons," which would presumably include a decision regarding what constitutes "high-capacity." In other words, what would be the acceptable number of innocent people a person should be able to shoot before law enforcement comes with their guns to stop him. Hopefully that bad guy with a gun wouldn't bring along any illegal high capacity magazines or speed loaders because it's against the law.

The craziest aspect of Warren’s plan is the section on liability, which states in part that Americans should be able to "hold the manufacturer of the weapon that harmed them strictly liable for compensatory damages to the victim or their family."

Gun manufacturers make billions in profit by knowingly selling deadly products. Then they are let completely off the hook when people take those deadly products and inflict harm on thousands of victims each year. State tort law already recognizes that certain types of products and activities are so abnormally dangerous that the entities responsible for them should be held strictly liable when people are injured. Congress should codify that same principle at the federal level for guns by creating a new private right of action allowing survivors of gun violence to hold the manufacturer of the weapon that harmed them strictly liable for compensatory damages to the victim or their family.

Yes, commercial jets are highly dangerous weapons in the hands of those who would use them as such. So are hammers, nail guns and baseball bats. It isn't the weapon that should be blamed, as Warren and her ilk would have it [in order to take away our guns], it's the user who must be blamed.

Warren’s plan also demands a nebulous investigation into the National Rifle Association (NRA), the reporting of multiple firearms purchases, the creation of a "federal licensing system," raising the age limit on firearm purchases, banning the sale of firearms accessories, including suppressors, the implementation of so-called "universal background checks," limiting the number of guns bought by Americans to one a month, enacting "extreme risk protection laws," making colleges and universities "gun-free zones," and providing an annual $100 million to "conduct research into the root causes of gun violence and the most effective ways to prevent it."

A vote for Fauxcahontas is a vote for a power grab by the federal government.

In her conclusion, Warren writes that the "conversation about gun violence in America is shifting," and proceeds to blame the NRA, as well as President Donald Trump for his "extremist rhetoric" and "dangerous policies."

The NRA teaches gun safety. The mass shooters didn't belong to the NRA. Blaming the NRA for the shooting deaths of innocent people is like blaming the American Automobile Association for road deaths. The only reason the NRA is a powerful Second Amendment advocate is because gun owners support them, not the other way around.

Warren has a plan for "everything," but in most cases fails to specify what that plan is and what effect it will have on the country. Like Bernie Sanders' "oydeahs" her ideas are pipe dreams and unicorns farting rainbows, which are merely designed to get votes.

Intelligent Americans will see through the false promises.
