Re: A fine reason to ban weapons
[ QUOTE ]
[ QUOTE ] The authitarian do-gooders NEVER think they are brining tyranny. [/ QUOTE ] Read the post about begging the question. Easy to sling mud. Hard to be rational. [/ QUOTE ] The point that you [censored] liberal idiots cannot fathom is that a government that has as much control as you so desire is by definition tyranical. The government has no [censored] right to CONTROL our education. The government has no [censored] right to CONTROL our health care. The government has no [censored] right to CONTROL our retirement. The government has no [censored] right to CONTROL us. Yet, that IS the liberal philosophy.

So you willing to take an NRA course? [/ QUOTE ] Why on earth would I want to do that? What could I learn? The only gun I have held in my hands is the one god(!) gave me -- it is also the only gun I want. [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

Re: A fine reason to ban weapons
[ QUOTE ]
the weapons they build will need to be safe, [/ QUOTE ] I dont mind owning a safe gun. One which cannot kill is safe enough. [ QUOTE ] What's so bad about minimizing costs? [/ QUOTE ] Nothing. But if as a society we come to believe (soon I hope) that guns have costs over and above the cost of production (the two plus lives destroyed in the OP link for example) then perhaps we should be able to live with restrictions on the kinds of ownership, the level of training of gun owners, perhaps a registration system, etc. Plus of course a healthy fear of getting sued.

perhaps a registration system [/ QUOTE ] You mean "a list of guns so we can go and get them all". [ QUOTE ] Plus of course a healthy fear of getting sued. [/ QUOTE ] Liability is a strong motivator. What else do you need?

You would most assurededly benefit immeasurably from a Course of Professional Instruction, covering such topics as: -Safety -Cleaning, Oiling, Care and Maintenance -Proper Aiming -Presumed responsibilities -Legal considerations and last, but definitely not least (especially in your case), -Concealment

Re: A fine reason to ban weapons
I am happy to learn about new things.
But the course better cost $0.00 as that is what it is worth to me. Unless you want to pay -- x-mas is coming up. Is this course required for all gun owners? Seems like it should be. Specially as you are suggesting it for non-owners. I will write to Hilary soon and tell her that 6M suggests this as a good course from which the gun owners would most assurededly benefit greatly

I was recommending it especially for YOU, in light of your last post. Now, go back and reread it, and consider what you might have overlooked;-)

;-) [/ QUOTE ] This could mean anything from a) 6M is serious about the preceding statement b) 6M is kidding and actually means the opposite of what the statement says c) ACPlayer is about to be banned from this forum. About normal for the analysis that usually accompanies this emoticon. Care to elaborate on this particular use of the winky? [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

How can you logically talk about something without having any knowledge of the subject what so ever. We're about increasing knowledge... -Gryph
