People who know me know my lifelong obsession with Jarts. If you’re younger than 40, you probably have no idea what those are.
They were — and are — the world’s best lawn game, consisting of two plastic rings placed 20 or so paces apart into which you lob Jarts, which are winged darts with a metal spear of death on the end.
A great example is Gov. Gretchen Whitmer.
After six vaping deaths nationally, she announced a ban on the sale of flavored nicotine vaping products in the state.
But someone please explain to me why we can ban Jarts (one death) and flavored vape products (six deaths) and continue to do nothing about guns.
Yes, this is a gun control column. Deal with it.

I believe that owner ship of firearms, or any arms for that matter, is a God given right, that the government does not have the power to infringe.
Contrasted with Vaping products or Lawn darts, for which there is no God given right to own.
Pretty simple to understand. |

| Because guns are useful for many lawful purposes, unlike vape products. |

Answer:
Because constitutionally-enumerated fundamental rights aren't subject to majority rule.
You idiot.
Oh, wait. I forgot. You're a 'progressive', and 'progressives' reject the DoI and U.S. Constitution.
Siwwy me. |

TO REMEMBER |
| "And how we burned in the camps later, thinking: What would things have been like if every Security operative, when he went out at night to make an arrest, had been uncertain whether he would return alive and had to say good-bye to his family? Or if, during periods of mass arrests, as for example in Leningrad, when they arrested a quarter of the entire city, people had not simply sat there in their lairs, paling in terror at every bang of the downstairs door and at every step on the staircase, but had understood they had nothing left to lose and had boldly set up in the downstairs hall an ambush of half a dozen people with axes, hammers, pokers, or whatever else was at hand? [...] The Organs would very quickly have suffered a shortage of officers and transport and, notwithstanding all of Stalin's thirst, the cursed machine would have ground to a halt!" —Alexander Solzhenitsyn, The Gulag Archipelago (Chapter 1 "Arrest") |
