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 |
| After having thus successively taken each member of the community in its powerful grasp and fashioned him at will, the supreme power then extends its arm over the whole community. It covers the surface of society with a network of small, complicated rules, minute and uniform, through which the most original minds and the most energetic characters cannot penetrate, to rise above the crowd. The will of man is not shattered, but softened, bent, and guided; men seldom forced by it to act, but they are constantly restrained from acting. Such a power does not destroy, but it prevents existence; it does not tyrannize, but it compresses, enervates, extinguishes, and stupefies a people, till each nation is reduced to nothing better than a flock of timid and industrious animals, of which the government is the shepherd. — Alexis de Tocqueville |
