Men, when are we going to start focusing on the real problems and not just treating symptoms? This is just another example of where most of government, corporations and people are at in America. Rather than focusing on and solving the real problems, the majority just want to treat the symptoms and feel good about doing something - even if it is a complete waste of time. How many of you have sat in a company meeting where a manager asks everyone to list the challenges the company faces? A list will unfold. Generally, it will consist of a few underlying problems and dozens of symptoms caused by these foundational problems. At the majority of organizations, companies and governments your leadership will then have you spend the rest of the time focused on how to treat the symptoms rather that the actual problems that are causing the symptoms. This is a complete waste of time. It happens though because the majority of leaders today, don’t have the capacity to take on the true problems and instead are just looking for quick wins and to feel like they have done something productive, even if they have not. You will even hear your leadership say absolutely stupid things like “We excel at pivoting,” constantly. In reality they are just running from their problems and pivoting in perpetual circles as they treat symptoms. This stems from weak leaders and if you truly want to get to the underlying problem - weak men. Put your feelings aside and focus on the change that truly matters. Focus on the real problems. I can guarantee with 100% absolution that the gun manufacturer is not the problem.

Daniel Defense, LLC makes an amazing, if not inexpensive, rifle. This lawsuit and all of the others - past and future - seek to blame everyone but those who, ACTUALLY, caused the harm. Federal law protects the manufacture and commercial sale of firearms from 99.9% of the lawsuits people come up with, blaming an object for an action. This and - sadly - the many to come, have found a loophole. If you take a moment to Google the claims in this case, another recent one against DD (and Sandyhook), you'll understand why even a videogame producer MAY end up on the hook in a similar suit and how dangerous cases like this one are to the freedom to manufacture, own and enjoy firearms, lawful commerce and freedom of speech. If lawsuits like this one continue, no producer of goods will be safe from the independent actions of third parties, neither will advertisement firms, videogame production houses, alcohol distilleries, pornographers, comicbook companies, publishing houses, the movie industry, or automobile manufacturers.

Marty is right. The ability to exercise the second amendment and it effect on the country’s ability to navigate multiple wars and conflicts rides on the backs of good people starting firearms related businesses. Do you really want to export this buisness to China and Russia? That’s who wins when we play politics with firearms related businesses. If Norinco had built the rifle that was used in the tragedy, do you think you would have any legal recourse? That’s where things are heading! If your friends or family are killed by an illegal Chinese Glock switch are you able to hold the company that made it accountable? Start addressing the problem through the legal system as it is and hold the justice department accountable for prosecutions of real crime.
