  1. “Originally Swiss, partnered with a Kraut in the 70s to make pistols, American now … therefore NAZIS!”

    So the idea he has is that if one guy buys one and kills people, they should permanently halt sale of the gun, I guess?

    Look, man, the idea of the deodand is super archaic and decrepit, but at least it only ever applied to the individual object, not others just like it.

    (Also, the NRA. Did I mention the NRA?

    THE NRA.)
