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 |
| Those, who have the command of the arms in a country are masters of the state, and have it in their power to make what revolutions they please. [Thus,] there is no end to observations on the difference between the measures likely to be pursued by a minister backed by a standing army, and those of a court awed by the fear of an armed people. — Aristotle, as quoted by John Trenchard and Water Moyle, An Argument Shewing, That a Standing Army Is Inconsistent with a Free Government, and Absolutely Destructive to the Constitution of the English Monarchy [London, 1697]. |
