Replacing a broken set of blinds in my house and apparently no one sells the old standard kind where you pull the cord to raise them, I guess because kids and/or pets could tangle in the cord? Bit of an education in miniblinds today.

    About 9 children die every year , strangled by mini blinds. 3500 children are killed by guns every year.

    Why did we only fix the most unlikely one?

      Probably because there isn’t a giant mini blind lobby, and people plastering stickers all over their pickup trucks yelling about their mini blind rights.

          I wouldn’t say repeal, I would say adapt & clarify.

          If the original purpose was for a “well regulated militia,” then there should be regulations and training for you to be able to own a gun.

      If miniblinds had been around in the 1700s they would’ve been enshrined in the constitution also
