Not much of a difference. Psychopathy is a terminal illness, committing premeditated murder involves deciding to waive your own right to life, and it's not even unusual for convicted murderers to be eager to be executed. Your stats are from one Swiss clinic that isn't the only one in Europe, and I can't seem to find a total, but the point is that it's a lot more than are executed. A company that is happy to sell drugs to a doctor to put down a sick kid, but refuses to sell them to a state to put down a murderer is on some shaky moral high ground.
There is little doubt that without the NRA lobby assault rifles would have been banned federally. A good chance that there would have been no grandfathering and you would have had to turn yours in. The next target would probably be "automatic handguns" as a class. We're talking about Feinstein being a given a free hand! If anything the NRA is too conservative, too reactive; the anti-2nd Amendment lobby is limited by nothing except the size of their dreams for a progressive future where government makes anything possible. .
The idea that a person might have to be shown to be mentally competent and capable of owning and being responsible for a firearm isn't radical.
Wouldn't you first and foremost want to make being mentally competent and responsible a requirement for voting? Or are you a radical fetishist who believes that no one should even have to show an ID to vote? Or maybe we can assume that everyone over the age of 18, not incarcerated in a penal or mental institution, is actually a...wait for it...citizen.
Sounds like it's not too easy to find or block the transmitter, so they probably want the message out there to deter dangerous thieves from bothering them.
Sounds like you want tough negotiations with oil production corporations getting tax breaks...so you can dump piles of tax money on construction corporations dreaming up scam "public works" projects. The only way to get government to spend tax money better is to make sure it has hardly any.
Since you are worried that you might be tempted to end your miserable life or shoot your nasty family members obviously you'll want to be completely disarmed.
Millions of children are aborted by their parents, the deaths of "innocents" are 100% meaningless, and this method actually would have a eugenic affect. Of course sometimes the kid shoots a friend, the best strategy is to make sure there are even more guns in the houses of stupid people to increase the odds that kid will be shot to death before he can involve a non-relative.
A female abuser with any intelligence would use the police to torture the man since that option is easily available to her, so any male victims would be in jail. Certainly no man is going to "escape" with a mother's children! Meanwhile women are getting government services so they don't have to experience the "trauma" of separating from pets
Conservatives are hypocrites, though that's almost unfair because they barely make a show of believing in anything, but the left are true believers in "objectification theory", and would make even sexy advertisements a criminal offense. Only thing stopping them from going full Sharia is that they don't believe in restrictions on women, and it's going to take quite a restructuring to make men the frigid sex, apparently they're hoping that most will turn gay
a well armed and well regulated militia being the best security of a free country but no person religiously scrupulous of bearing arms shall be compelled to render military service in person
The Bill of Rights is not about limiting rights! The First Amendment is relevant to threats, and attempts to limit "harmful speech" are BS.
What, a gun doesn't shoot itself, being around one doesn't increase your risk of anything. Other than hunting, or if you're Pistorius's live-in lover, someone mistaking you for an aggressor is not really something that comes up. More likely is if government mistakes you for a resister of aggression--many unarmed people are killed during traffic stops or SWAT raids
Insane logic, guess soldiers shouldn't carry guns either since they often die anyway. We know with certainty that if he killed all 3 he definitely would have lived, the unpredictable criminal actors being taken out of the equation. And it's probably gun control that got him killed, if that's what stopped him from firing more rounds by arbitrarily crippling his weapon
Then we can lower the cost of death sentences. Juries will feel more responsible when their decision is likely definitive. Prosecutors should also be liable to be executed themselves for any abuse of the process
How could paying for subsidies that don't benefit you not raise your cost? Electric companies bill every customer usage-based fees for solar, and the fixed cost of the grid is also billed to customers based on usage. Of course the electric company is guaranteed to make at least the same profit, but customers not getting free sunshine are going to be the losers
First we're told that historically women were brutally mistreated, now you say that they've never had it worse. Are they ever going to learn and start their own companies? Yes, some of them do, and no one has any problem with them. It's the ones infinitely bitching and asking for unearned advantages against better qualified men that men justifiably are annoyed with. As long as they get away with it women will not develop technical skills, it's just plain inefficient.

Is that the same company that supplies the European assisted suicide programs that kill thousands?

Detroit is a war zone, most of those "offensive homicides" you are talking about were likely justified by rules of war.
Apparently he was stealing Viagra, the cop had no right to come between a man and his lifesaving medication.

Give every programmer a secretary?

Which will be bad enough in itself since the police will get them, and you'll be tased for jaywalking
Maybe if you are a member of the lesser aristocracy, for commoners price is 10x or 100x more important than quality.

The banks can't use ignorance as an excuse, they have to find out so they can monitor and control all transactions as required by government.
You'd rather have one that didn't need a battery or radio programmability

Autoappeal should be eliminated then. Really just for show anyway, which is a not a good reason to waste money

Which lowers the price of oil for everyone to some extent. Lower prices for solar only benefit some people
