NOT!

I, for one, am glad they are settling down to think about this a bit more instead of jumping into something that could have consequences unforeseen by some. Of course, it appears, that at least some of the pushers of these agendas are aware of these consequences and want that exact thing.

But, me, it's always been my opinion that more thought is not a bad thing.

Like the sequester problem? Sometimes inaction is not so good either....

Right. Paperwork for dealers: Baaaaaaaad. Guns in the wrong hands: Meh.

Nice priorities, Dave. Let's slow-track it long enough for a few thousand more gun deaths.

On a different issue, but producing the same f'n peachy reaction:

I believe HSBC paid a hefty fine. It appears, to me, that these two individuals were sincerly trying to explain what and why they did what they did. She kept asking for their opinion. I'm not sure they were in the position to give an opinion. I might be wrong there.

I guess it must be determined if individuals of the bank broke laws . If they did then put their butts in jail of give them a needle.

Please tell me "Hon." is an abbreviation for something — anything — but 'honorable". What. A. Bunch. Of. Tools! 'Lizbeth must be having an epic head-on-desk moment.

Here read this.

Do gun laws reduce gun deaths? New study says 'yes,' but data are thin.

The lowest gun-death rate was in Hawaii, with 3 deaths per 100,000 residents. Hawaii scored 16 on the legislative score. Louisiana ranked highest in the rate of gun deaths at 18 per 100,000 residents. It’s legislative score was 1.

The point is people should go to jail, MrB. If I can profit personally from whatever crime I want to commit, and know that the "person" punished will be the corporation that will pay a fine that amounts to a relatively small percent of the misbegotten gains that I enabled it to get--why the hell would I not feel empowered to do commit the crime, again and again? You know whipping boys were all the rage when princes were supposed to be untouchable by their guardians. That didn't work, and this hands off the individual who commits the crime while you punish a corporate "person" doesn't work either.

Hummm, remember Enron ?

Both the corporation and CEO was fined and he went to jail.

Thats the problem with white collar crime <- they feel that technically NO one is getting hurt , its only a business.
