The plan that replaces one justice every 2 years is interesting enough to discuss, but I’m curious how sudden vacancies (through death or resignation, or in Clarence’s case, criminal conviction) would be handled.
As of 2022, there were 278,870,463 private and commercial vehicles registered in the U.S.
It’s estimated there are nearly 400,000,000 firearms in private circulation.
A more pertinent question might be, how many people are injured or killed in non-accidents with cars (since its design purpose is something other than causing injury or death), vs how many are injured or killed with firearms (deliberate or accidental, since that is a gun’s design purpose).
A car is designed with a legitimate intended use – transportation – but can be misused to injure or kill.
A hammer is designed with a legitimate intended use – construction – but can be misused to injure or kill.
A gun is designed with a legitimate intended use – destroy or kill whatever is in front of it – but can be misused to… what? Dig a small hole? Paddle a boat? It’s design intent is death and destruction.
The previous one did.
