Our gun control minded friends have a situational ethics problem, plus they are short sighted to a fault.

No problem for them using a back door approach to closing down gun manufacturers with lawsuits.

But if the same thing was tried as a back door way to shut down surgical instrument manufacturers for women's health issues, they'd scream like crazy about how horrible and unconstitutional it was.

We've lost the House and Senate and how many state legislatures and Governors? Maybe when President Liz Cheney is in the Oval Office for her second term they'll start to figure out their pet issue is a loser.
