Much like a fire extinguisher. But you wouldn't dream of neglecting to have one for the unlikely time you need it. You're right- one CAN live without guns, so long as the infrastructure that brings your food to you and protects you is intact. Just because the firearm is the least practical tool...

Doubtful. Homocide by motor vehicle or pipe bomb is already unlawful.

Sounds like we need a law preventing folks from plying the psychiatric trade on the internet.....:wings:

The quotation of the lunatic was simply to underscore the need for firearm freedoms. Take the name away, and it could be confused with the intent of many, lunatic and not so lunatic. Funny you had to use a pejoritive to make your point. Perhaps there are more than one kind of hard liner in...

Anyone have a couple they're tired of storing? I'm close to buying new, just checking to see if anyone has some to sell.

Ditto. Let's all play nice and try to be friends.

Camper builders have been using it for years, and it works. YOU don't like it, but plenty others do because it's effective, it's easy to work with, and it's inexpensive. To each their own.

The following is authentic: Der größte Unsinn, den man in den besetzen Ostgebieten machen könnte, sei der, den unterworfenen Völkern Waffen zu geben. Die Geschichte lehre, daß alle Herrenvölker untergegangen seien, nachdem sie den von ihnen unterworfenen Volkern Waffen bewilligt hatten. [The...

Yup, another example of a law that affects only the law abiding.

What I've done was to anchor a loop in the concrete so I can chain down the tire to get more leverage while I'm prying on it. I used a 3/4" Red Head anchor (overkill, probably) and installed a bent steel loop under the bolt head. I use a short chain with a longish bolt connected to it to hold...

That's the problem. Many here believe that training, testing and then registration and confiscation are a natural progression, because it's happened before. Australia and England, remember? And California? We can agree that we're not discussing the 2A, but the threats caused to the 2A by the...

But it could NEVER happen here, 'cause we're Americans.....

Exactly. If you'll read the German law of 1935 and the NFA of 1968, you'll find many similarities.

Well, I don't agree that it ought to be mandatory, but I'd like to see every graduate who passed gun safety in secondary school get their CCW permit at graduation... Except in the states like Vermont, where they're not required.:sombrero:

I don't want to bring politics into this discussion, so I don't. I find your use of the term "completely dismissive" telling as well. In other words, you can't, except by using heresay. The statement you made was about the NRA (Which I disdain as well, although for very different reasons), not...

Then respond, don't ignore my questions. But lets say you get what you're after, and everyone is tested. Then someone who passes goes berserk and kills a bunch of folks- then what? Stronger tests? More tests? It never ends.

So we require training because someone MIGHT break the law? It's really scary living in a free country, but I'll continue to trust those around me until they prove they can't be.

Asphalt roads aren't protected in the Constitution, either. But just because the gov't does a passable job at getting roads built has nothing to do with its ability to keep the "right" people in firearms. I bring it up to underscore the govt's ineptitude in running nearly anything. Can you...

California's law abiding "assault" weapon owners were relieved of their legally owned weapons AFTER the requirement that they be registered. Then the Supreme Court of CA decided that since criminals would be incriminating themselves, they couldn't be required to obey the same law. I believe...

In addition, you're adding nothing to the debate.
