Then again, maybe no change is the more courageous course? Or perhaps embracing the serenity part is more applicable.

But as I pointed out we do regulate everything regarding the auto industry. In everything else but guns we recognize there are inherent dangers and risks and attempt to reduce and mitigate them. But not guns. (And that is incredible because guns are the only things I can think of designed to kill stuff.)

As I pointed out in a post above, you are completely incorrect that guns are not regulated, just as the statement above that "everything" about the auto industry is regulated, and that the only things designed to kill stuff are guns. What about bows and arrows, blades, poisons, traps, snares, etc.? You know the danger of absolutes, right?

Let me go on record, Me, I'm perfectly fine with any sane US citizen over the age of 18 owning any semi-auto weapon they want as long as it comes with a lock so a nut can't get their hands on it. And since I don't want (or think it will be effective to have) mandatory checks by law enforcement, that sane US citizen 18 years or older can still have any semi-automatic weapon they want as long as they lock it and accept unlimited financial liability for the damage they or their unsecured guns cause.

Cool, common ground! Just so we're clear, you know folks can legally own automatic weapons too, right? Oh, and what if I have a lock, but a nut still gets my gun and uses it for illegal purposes? Will I have unlimited financial liability if someone steals my car and runs down 20 kindergarteners in a playground, too? How 'bout if they steal my credit card, use it to buy stuff to make a bomb and then blow up a church service? Geez, what if someone hacks into my FB account, bullies someone and they commit suicide? Boy, I never realized I was accountable for all this bad stuff.

These despots, who are they?

Don't know who they are yet. What day and time is your house going to burn down? You don't know? Then why do you own smoke detectors and fire extinguishers?
