Just because you can yell lowder than me, you think you're automatically vindicated...
Sad really.
You've managed to insult me, and skew what I've been saying. Yet, you haven't proven me wrong.
The September 11th attacks were carried out by small minded individuals {albeit hightly trained} using nothing more than box cutters. So, as you can see. The Crazies will commit violent acts whether there is a law against it or not.
Perhaps my wording about the 2nd amemdment didn't fit exactly into your speech paradigm. I'm no silver tongued devil... However, my point still stands. There are people out there that would just as soon kill me or my loved ones as they would walk across the street. The fact that I own a gun may act as a deterrent, or (if necessary) a means of self defense.
You failed to grasp my feeble attempt at humor about passing laws for only using guns for hunting and for self defense.
However: As far as I know. There are no laws stating you can only use a gun for hunting, or as a means of self defense (as you stated there are). I believe there're only laws against murder (With or Without a fire arm). I admit, I could be wrong about that, if so I stand corrected.
And yes. I am an anarchist by philisophical choice. That's another discussion for another topic. Let's just say I'm not alone, and I'm in good company.
You can't compare computer security to a law. Computer security is carried out by a series of programs that actively block viruses from getting into your system. A law is nothing more than Mala Prohibita written down on paper.
When a virus attacks your computer, or probes your ports. The anti-virus software quickly acts to block the invasion.
Laws only sit there awaiting a supposedly blind legal system to act (Usually in favor of those who can afford the best lawyers.)
Gun control hasn't prevented any crimes. It merely changes the means by which criminals act.
Where do you get off insinuating that I'm anything you listed in your post?!? Did I make any comments that would insinuate so? Why is it that so many people are so quick to play the racist card?
Is the best you can do? Quite frankly, I'm offended.
Because, you might have noticed, I used the example of 18 wheelers. Yeah...there are laws against 18 wheelers...no one is allowed to own or drive 18 wheelers...
What is all this about 18 wheelers? The topic is about the right to bear arms.
On 9/11 they used jet planes
No, on 9/11 they used Box Cutters to take over the planes. Perhaps we need to have people that buy razor blades fill out a questionaire and have a mandatory waiting period.
Who modded this insightfull? I seriously want to have a chat with the person who modded THAT insightfull. He is advocating a society without laws, and you mod him insightfull?
Of course I'm advocating a society without laws, that's what we anarchists do. Read my signature at the bottom of my posts.
Circular logic...my head is spinning.
No, just plain simple logic. The fact that there are bogey men out there gives me the right to defend myself from them. A law preventing a bogey man from carrying a gun, only means that the bogey man will use a knife or a box cutter instead.
So, I'll try this again, because you did NOT read it correctly the first time, you just jumped up and trolled with the usual prefabricated and slightly insane rant...
I did read your post correctly. Driving an 18 wheeler requires skills that one must prove they possess. If guns are to be controlled who is to set down the guide lines? Should we set down laws that they can only be used for hunting and self defense? A damn lot of good that would do.
We don't waste our time watching Micheal Moore's left wing political diatribe. His views are one-sided, liberal ramblings. Merely repetitions handed down by the likes of Barbara Streisand, and her group of Hollywood lackies.
Oh, I'm sorry. Did you actually like that moronic, rhetorical, senseless piece of crap?
I hope to god most people in Europe don't think his ramblings are the consensus amongst us more intelligent, free thinking individuals.
The fact that there's a law against having a fire arm will not stop crazy irresponsible people from getting one. The fact that there's a law against having a fire arm will only reassure the crazy irresponsible people that you won't be able to shoot them as they attack you with what ever weapon they can get their hands on.
Remember the terrorists during the 9/11 attacks didn't use guns.
We don't need anti-gun laws. If laws worked there'd be no crime.
Just because some crazy irresponsible individual may get his/her hands on a gun doesn't mean that I should give up my second ammendment right to bear arms. In fact, it exemplifies the need for the second ammendment.
Thank you!
That was very well spoken.
I'm stuck here watching my rights dissolve before my very eyes. My country is becomming a carbunkle on the face of the globe. If I stand up for my rights, I could be branded a terrorist.
I can only pray that I'm still around when the revolution comes.
You can't tell me that the multiple levels of Micro Management proposed by Al Gore would be any different than the spy networks Hitler had.
We're talking about a duo (him and his wife) that support using drugs to lul the masses into a hypnotic state of obedience.
There are plenty of us on the other side of the pond with voices of reason. It just so happens that MY voice of reason may not agree with your voice of reason.
First off, Bush had absolutely NOTHING to do with invoking the September 11th attacks. Just like there was no way of him preventing it. Remember there was a bombing attemp on the WTC years before Bush was even elected. It has been a desired target for many years by those who would wish to cripple Western Civilization.
The economy was going bad before Bush was elected. Most of us saw it comming, and were ready for it. Those who were taken by surprise were the ones that actually thought that the president has the power to turn the tides of commerce.
However, don't take my defense of Mr. Bush as support for him. I think that he has bungled up foreign affairs even more than they were before, and embarassed our nation.
But the mess didn't start with Mr. Bush. It didn't start with Clinton either. It's been brewing for a long time. The English are mainly responsible for the mess over in the Middle East (Check your post WWI history). The U.S. didn't help the situation with our one-sided involvement with Israel either.
What urks me is all of those european "intellectuals", and the self righteous ones from other countries, who do nothing more than sit back on their laurels, find fault, and try to make themselves believe their country would handle things any different than the way the U.S. has if THEY were the most powerful nation in the world.
I didn't vote for Bush, and I certainly didn't vote for Gore. I'm an Anarchist by philosophical choice. I just wish the governments would step asside and let the people run the show. Then we'd see some real results.

I know.
Everything talked in that show. Too creepy man. If ever you wanted to know what an acid trip was, that show has got to be it!
People like you crack me up...

Here's another thing for everybody to munch on.
"If voting could actually change anything, it would be illegal."
Point taken.
I started watching this movie. But was insensed and turned the channel early on into it.

Hell, true democracy is still pending in the United States!
