But it's NOT designed primarily to kill more people. It's designed to shoot faster. The software here in this case was deliberately designed from the ground up, priced, and distributed to those with ill intention to harm markets and to conduct illegal trading activities. False equivalency. Not my opinion, a fact.
If banned (I don't know US gun laws) then that plays even more to my point. If the potential for abuse tips above a certain threshold then it should be banned. Here the software was intended from the getgo to abuse markets and disadvantage others. I don't get how you differ from this very clear fact.
The whole point of banning civilian machine guns is to prevent killing more people. The bump stock was a loop hole to get around the ban.
The question then is the maker of the bump stock liable for the deaths of all those people? I don't disagree with you on the result of the software. However, is the programmer liable? The maker of the bump stock did not shoot anyone and the programmer did not steal anyone's money.
This was the post which I cited as false equivalency. You are changing topics. A gun maker does not make guns with the primary objective to kill people. The hope is that never anyone gets killed but that the gun functions as deterrent. The software here was implemented from the beginning to maliciously mislead markets and trade illegally. It's not like the ceo had a software written for charting purposes that someone altered and turned into a spoofing app. It was written from the start to spoof. Simple as that. False equivalency.
You are just wrong, a gun maker knows people will use his guns to kill other people. That is why gun makers are sued in court when this happens. So far I don't know if they lost any of these cases yet. “No honest man needs more than 10 rounds in any gun,” a Sturm Ruger co-founder, the late William Ruger Sr., told Tom Brokaw in 1992. “I never meant for simple civilians to have my 20- or 30-round mags or my folding stock.” By 1994, with even Ronald Reagan voicing support, Congress banned high-capacity magazines as well as assault rifles. But a decade later, lawmakers let the ban expire amid pressure from the National Rifle Association. By then the elder Ruger was deceased, and the Connecticut-based company resumed civilian sales of 30-round magazines. Since 2007, the company has sold more guns in the United States than any other manufacturer.
Wait till you hear this: I shop at Walmart. I've been making more than $25K/month for the last 10 years lol.
Oh, and my kids school costs about $60K. So after taxes... I'm rrrrrraped. I want to get to the point where I make the above mentioned amount at least once a week.
