Bullshit! In opposite to guns do rocks and sticks exist in nature and can be used for many, many other things. The only purpose of guns is to wound and kill people.
I'd have no problems with people shooting for sports, but then the weapons should stay in the big strongroom of the shooting club.
The people cant defend themselves and you get Hitler..
Classic case of Godwin here, eh?
This shit is more than 50 years old, and I believe could never happen this way again. And on the other hand, at the time a majority of the people had reasoned that H. was not the kind of saviour they had believed he was, it was already too late, even if everyone had had two guns.
btw, there are several parallels between how Hitler and how GWB seized power in their country. Where's the revolution against GWB?
I think a bigger question is not whether something is a weapon, or can something be used as a weapon, but do you have a legitimate use for the tool/weapon? Oh, and yes, self defense and/or self-preservation is a legitimate use as far as I'm concerned.
The purpose for my hydrogen bomb is self defense against a country which just lately has threatened the world with the use of nuclear bombs against any target they see fit.
Nonsense. If this was true, the numbers of carjacking incidents should be much higher here in Germany than in the USA. The lesser the possibility that a potential victim carries a gun, the lesser it's likely for a criminal to carry a gun!
Guaranteeing them access to the tools necessary to do
These tools are called democratic elections, not guns!
Ah, but, wait, GWB sitting in D.C. proves that these tools failed, but I haven't read about any attempt of the U.S. citizens to remove this parody of a president.
Ah well, if you say it's been debunked, it must have been.
If there are not so many guns out in public, less guns will be available for the criminals. And, if the usual criminal doesn't have to fear that the guy next door has a gun like in the USA, he is less likely to get himself a gun before he breaks into his house.
Replace "criminal" with "terrorist"
Why should one, the latter belong to the former.
You'll also be well aware that areas in the USA with high registered gun ownership have lower crime rates
And it's proven that the latter comes straight from the former?
Switzerland with its mandatory gun ownership.
What? The people who were in the army have their rifle at home, but usually no ammo for it. Nobody else is forced to own a gun! The low crime rates in Switzerland result mainly from much less poverty and racial problems there.
In which he would and therefore should have lost if everything had gone as it should have had. Just think of all the people in Florida who were stripped of their right to vote just because their name was similar to some criminal's. Or all the absentee votes from the army (traditionally more republican), which have been illegaly counted after the election was closed.
Just read the first chapter of "Stupid White Men" and you'll know how this man hijacked your pretty democracy (which is more an oligarchy anyway)!

4 days without food is not such an option (as if 4 days without sleep is;-))
Yes, the "no illegal drugs" prevents from having the proper doses of amphetamine to accomplish this.
I like the concept. If the price was not too high by a factor of ten, it would make at least a nice toy and IMO a real good alternative to (motor-)bike or car for shorter distances. I hoped that it would spread much better, so in the futurte the cities would make special lanes like those reserved for bicycles.
btw, the words "brain" and "our president" don't fit into one sentence unless you talk about the lack of.:)
As the Segway would be expensive even if you took the last 0 from the price tag, hopefully this machine will be available for a price which is not out of reality.
Interesting. There is a regime known for suppressing their people and massive censorship, I make a joke about that and them developing their own AV codec, and get modded down as flaimbait. Go on, if you must...:)
Hell, we used all the nazi doctors' death-camp research didn't we?
This goes even further, as the grandfather of the guy currently occupying your president's seat has built the family fortune by dealing with the nazis:

Me, I'll blow his fucking brains out with my 12 gauge before he gets through the window.
Better get yourself a brain first. Then you would be able to realize that there were and are enough people killed although they own(ed) a gun.
The higher the possibility that you as a victim own a gun, the higher the risk that the guy who breaks into your house shoots you at first sight.
Gun control laws [...] reduce this possibility.

Any weapon, is nothing more than a tool and any tool can be used in a manner that causes harm to someone or something else
OK, by your logic, hydrogen bombs for everyone would be perfectly ok. Where can I fetch mine?
So that when the US government becomes tyrannical the citizens can resist it.
:)
Don't worry, this won't take long, non-democratic they are already.

In this county, during its founding, it was acknowledged that citizens have a god given right to bear arms and protect themselves, among other rights
:-)
If it was not known that much more people come do harm from these weapons than are effectively protected by them, your sentence would make sense.
*God* given? Then, first of all, prove his existence, for you surely don't wanna claim a right given by some mystical figure!
This is the law here, if you don't approve, you may move to a country that doesn't attempt to protect those RIGHTS.
FYI: I live in a country with a very strict and sensible law about firearms: Germany.
left wing weirdoes ... to deny citizens of their rights
You mean the decent people who tried revoke the absolutely unreasonable right for everyone to own and carry firearms?
Maybe the BSA should carry out more raids
:)
C'mon, you can install Linux on a single harddrive, too!
But I wouldn't mind them carrying this baby or something alike to me.
You forgot the 2000 election.

I admire their technical prowess, but they're not doing it with the good of humanity in mind.
Show me a government who acts with the good of even only their own population in mind.
Because they can't build censorship and spying technology in it in order to suppress the people even more?
Hell, we used all the nazi doctors' death-camp research didn't we?

Posting it here should do as well. Would that be the first /.ted phoneline, then?
Another fun trick was to use a standard fax machine with a continuous loop of paper.
A roll of toilet paper also suits well for the purpose of annoying somebody quite well.
Okay, it's 1600. :-)
Nobody gets to positions like that without it.
Except he gets there by court order against the voter's will. Or how else do you explain who sits in 1400 Pennsylvania Ave?
