Sue gun manufacturers? For what?
If I kill someone with a hammer, is Estwing responsible?
Do you really, honestly think that this is a compelling point? Like, for real? Hammers and guns - there's no difference between them?

Joe should worry more about the rampant crime in his cities.
But not the states with the rampant crime problem? Top five states with the highest murder rates in 2020:

Mississippi20.5
Louisiana19.9
Alabama14.2
Missouri14
Arkansas13


Maybe start holding criminals responsible for their behavior?
Oh yeah.

Right now, you have 4% of the world's population, and one quarter of the planet's prison population.

But your mistake is that you're just not locking enough people up for long enough.

What proportion of the entire planet's prison population do you want to house before you're satisfied that you're now "holding criminals accountable for their behaviour", exactly? You already have a quarter. You want a third? Half? How many people do you want to lock up?

Americans got paid even more in January as wages just keep getting higher
That's according to the latest employment data from the Bureau of Labor Statistics. Average hourly earnings for all workers soared to $31.63 last month — a 5.7% jump from a year ago. Production and nonsupervisory workers were earning an average of $26.92 an hour, up 6.9% from January 2021.

Workers aren't just making more money. They are looking for — and getting — more jobs, according to BLS data. That's after months of quitting in record numbers, showing people aren't leaving the workforce completely but rather participating in a "Great Reshuffle" in search of better a better deal. Across industries, pay is one major way companies are enticing those job switchers to come back to work.

Hammers and guns - there's no difference between them?
Guns don't kill people. Neither do hammers.
My comparison to hammers is better than Joe's regarding the cigarette companies. Those guys were sued for targetting kids with ads and not being forthcoming of the dangers of their products.

White House record boxes recovered at Trump's Mar-a-Lago: report
The boxes reportedly contained important records of communication, gifts and letters from world leaders, which, according to the Post, is a violation of the Presidential Records Act.

The newspaper added that the boxes retrieved from the Florida estate included correspondence with North Korean leader Kim Jong Un as well as a letter from former President Obama to Trump.

‘He never stopped ripping things up’: Inside Trump’s relentless document destruction habits
President Donald Trump tore up briefings and schedules, articles and letters, memos both sensitive and mundane.
He ripped paper into quarters with two big, clean strokes — or occasionally more vigorously, into smaller scraps.
He left the detritus on his desk in the Oval Office, in the trash can of his private West Wing study and on the floor aboard Air Force One, among many other places.
And he did it all in violation of the Presidential Records Act, despite being urged by at least two chiefs of staff and the White House counsel to follow the law on preserving documents.
“It is absolutely a violation of the act,” said Courtney Chartier, president of the Society of American Archivists. “There is no ignorance of these laws. There are White House manuals about the maintenance of these records.”

Gosh, I hope Biden isn't having document shredding parties like the last guy.

You know who's given us any insight on the last administration? The press!

You know what we would've known about the last administration without the press?
That's right, you guessed it, not a fucking thing.
