Exactly; and with the courts having proven themselves cowards, I can't see them suddenly having the guts to stand up to the establishment.

I suppose then we'll just have to wait and see what they do. Here's hoping you're right, and I'm wrong.

Friendly Reminder: Please be more civil with other posters. Poor communication on their part does not excuse rude communication on yours.
Why does it have to be instead of? I think it's worth considering both means and motivation. Drugs that are only harmful in potential suicide are restricted on that basis alone. Reducing the means often does as much to limit numbers as reducing motive.
Man, you really need to work on your communication skills.
"These things are so pointless! I did one, and I'm glad I did because it taught me something new and useful!" Also just wild punctuation everywhere. Don't give me any of that "Just phone posting!" shit either; it's the only way I post.

Because addressing the motive makes addressing the means superfluous. If no one wants to kill themselves, what sense does it make to restrict the rights of everyone in the name of preventing people from killing themselves? Unless it was never about those people, and you were just using them as an easy excuse to justify a gun grab that is in truth ideologically-motivated. Because don't think I didn't notice that you ignored Marduk pointing out the flaws in your assertion that "America has an unusually high rate of suicide", and how that relates to gun proliferation.
I'm lazy and my point is usually gotten across. If people need further explanation they can ask. Not hard ya know.
I am in the military and everyone is constantly adding new things that may go nowhere or go somewhere. I just happen to be on a base with a very sordid past.
Man if I could order guns online like Amazon, life would be good
Yes

I trust you know where the launch button is?
I shouldn't be surprised a gun control advocate can't tell the difference, i really shouldn't..
I'd I could get a gun in Amazon for 20 bucks?
Fuck yeah

to be fair I didn't catch it at first glance, but it seemed pretty obvious once I saw the word slingshot.

Honestly, I'm fairly certain they want to ban slingshots too; as well as anything else that one could conceivably use as a weapon.

Amazon doesn't allow the sale of any firearms or ammunition.
Yeah, Britain and Japan both have restrictions on airgun energy, and the restriction aren't on just the high end stuff that can approximate a firearm in power, it hits most bb guns.

That is going to backfire.
When gun users leave and gun crime increases. What they gonna do?
. . . I have a feeling this is gonna end up in the courts. This entire thing stinks of Poll Taxes, and should be shut down just like those are.
