New Federal Rules for Garage Sales

[Babagounj]

why ?
are you saying that you can't out run one thrown by a child ?

I wish I could buy a set of those. The real armor piercing darts. Not the lame ones they sell now.

How much are you offering?

How much are you offering?

Not enough to mess with. It would be one of those things I would grab if I ever saw at a garage sale. Nothing I would go out of my way to get.

Seller, beware: Feds cracking down on garage sales

Not sure how many times Ive asked it,,, but once again 'Is this the job of the federal government'? sigh

Makes you wonder...... how many toys sold 40 years or more would now be considered "too dangerous" for our children to dare touch now?

Those pesky feds interfering with the free markets. A little lead never did any harm.....

Yep.... not their job

Did you eat a lot of paint chips as a child?

No sir.... you think the federal government is the only solution to all our ills? What part of the Constitution gives them this power?

 

[bottomups]

Yep.... not their job

Who do you suggest should look out for the consumer?

No. But i'm also not delusional enough to think companies are going to willingly pull dangerous defective products and lose millions of dollars. There needs to be a governing body to protect consumers, at the least, inform them of the dangers.

something constitutional.....

is that the only two options? Federal government or self governance by companies?

something constitutional.....

I love it. You think banning dangerous products is unconstitutional. Do you also think heroin should be legal? I'm really loving your reasoning here I think we should follow through with this.

No problem.... you are inferring a lot of things. The way it sounds is that you really do think that is the only two options. Where did I say banning products is unconstitutional? I said I dont feel that the federal government has the constitutional authority to do it on a national level. Especially in the sense that WK has presented with his original post

That's my point. Do you think the federal government has the constitutional authority to ban drugs on a national level?

It's a simple question you're avoiding.
You said the federal government doesn't have constitutional authority to ban products, does that or does it not apply to drugs and why?

Yes

because they were not given that power. You dont think the states are smart enough to come up with their own rules?
