US' Proposed China Tariffs Would Target Robotics, Satellites (engadget.com)

An anonymous reader quotes a report from Engadget: The U.S. Trade Representative has published the list of Chinese products that would be subject to its proposed tech tariffs, and there are a few clear themes. The move would hike the costs of about 1,300 products, including industrial robots, communication satellites, spacecraft and a slew of semiconductors.The aim, as before, is to punish China for allegedly goading American companies into transferring their patents and technology to Chinese firms for the sake of claiming economic superiority. The USTR claimed the proposed tariffs would stymie Chinese plans while "minimizing the impact" on the American economy. The tariffs are still subject to a 60-day notice process that would include public comments until May 11th and a public hearing on May 15th.

Re: Those are already banned.

Well regulated also meant that those who owned cannons took proper care of them and didn't fire cannon falls into the homes of those they disputed with.

Lastly fully automatic weapons are banned in most places. The weapon of choice now is rapid fire semi auto where you fire as fast as you pull the trigger.

Also prohibition doesn't work. Mental health expansion, and questioning(with police able to schedule one appointment would do far more for this country than banning gun models.
