I Can't Believe How Fucking Idiotic This Is

The stupidity is just so, well - stupid, about all you can do is shake your head.

From The Daily Star Online:

ALBANY — Gun dealers could be held liable if they sell weapons that end up in the hands of criminals, under a Democrat-controlled Assembly proposal that’s under fire by gun-rights proponents.

Of course, it's New York. Some of the worst gun-haters in the union.

The proposal, drafted late last week, merges Republican proposals stiffening penalties against illegal gun dealers with long-held Democratic proposals that increase restrictions on legitimate retailers.

The Assembly proposal calls on gun retailers to carry at least $1 million in liability insurance, affix new and lengthy warning labels to all guns, and to cancel a sale if it "appears," or there is a "reasonable suspicion," that the guns could end up being resold to criminals.

Insurance companies aren't by chance giving out any kickbacks here are they?

"They (retailers) have to be clairvoyant as well," said Tom King, president of the New York State Rifle and Pistol Association.

Hey Ford, Chevy, Dodge, Nissan - keep an eye on this one!
If you sell someone a car, and they by chance sell it to someone who gets drunk and kills someone, you could be held liable!

Makes about as much sense.
