Nope....the mayor of New York wasted no time in calling for bans on guns during his press conference on the incident.What's he want,tougher restrictions on pellet and paintball guns?
The cop should have broken the jihadist's neck.
Hello; Amazing isn't it. I have heard some others somehow go to the "lets ban guns" dialogue when talking on TV about the NYC bike path murders.
I guess they cannot wrap their heads around the idea that it is the people using a thing who turn that thing into a weapon. The fully formed idea can not make it so they seem to fall back faulty logic.
The guy did have a paint ball "gun" and a pellet "gun". Maybe that is why their minds latch onto the sad rhetoric?? The same logic which gets to the "lets ban guns" philosophy after one of these incidents should also apply to "Lets ban trucks". Both are mechanical devices that do nothing on their own and must be directed by a person. Yet somehow a faulty uneven logic shows up.
Hello; I guess I need to add this about vehicles. That is "so far" they need a person to direct them. The auto industry is trying to make self driving vehicles and are already pushing some limited capacities in that direction.
To those who like the idea consider the airbag fiasco. The 'oh what a great idea' crowd got explosive devices into millions of cars that have proven to be faulty in a major way.
They keep telling me one of my cars does not have one of these faulty airbags but I question this. The major manufacturer of my car from the early 2000's has a lot of similar models with the faulty airbags, so somehow my car does not?
My guess is the industry cannot manage to replace them all and are playing the odds. Perhaps like a major company did decades ago with the exploding gas tanks. That is the odds were that only a few tanks would explode and the payout for the wrongful death lawsuits would be less than a total recall. Just saying.

Just today I received a letter in the mail about some class action lawsuit against the company that made the airbags that my car is equipped with.....bet it's the same company that made yours.
Hello; That is my bet as well. The major airbag company who made the faulty airbags is bankrupt by now I think. The class action may try to go after the car makers who used the airbags in their cars. That may be the only money to be had at this point.
My car model is on the list just not the year so far.
Might be like the class action against Porsche regarding the ISB (intermediate shaft bearing) in there flat six engines up to model year 2008. They had a design fault that destroyed around 10% of the engines when a bearing failed. There was a limited time to take a settlement which is expired now. Buddy of mine bought a mid 2000 year Boxster before talking to me. Guy offered it to him a what seemed a good price at the time.
Good luck
