Just as with Chinese made toys now peoples houses are killing them......


--The whole concept of government granted and government regulated 'permits' and the accompanying government mandate for government approved firearms 'training' prior to being blessed by government with the privilege to carry arms in a government approved and regulated manner, flies directly in the face of the fundamental right to keep and bear arms.

It wasn't a good thing.

It was quickly brought into the US because of the drywall shortage and now home owners are getting the shaft.

And good luck getting any compensation or cooperation from the Chinese on this.

Because people were screaming for new housing and people don't test building supplies like they do drugs, food, and other htings you actually put in your body. No thtat I am defending Red China mind you, but thats what happened.

And ultimately, they don't care if their products kill their own people. You think they test their exports more closely??

If something is built from defective/dangerous materials it's the builder who should shoulder the resposibility for this, and if they have a problem, look up their supplier for their compensation afterwards.

The supplier is China. You have no recourse to manufacturing companies exporting goods from China.

Again, as noted in the thread when this first came out months ago. Many of the builders themselves have filed at this point.

Yeah, I don't want to think about what I was breathing in my apartment back there.

Oh well, couldn't be worse than the air outside.
