Because it seems to me that if folks don't want regulation there is an acquiescence to a loss of life.

Yes, sorry, I just caught this bit. It is a reluctant resignation; life sucks and I can't make a law that will change that.

I do not pretend that I can change the laws of nature with some arbitrary legislation that does nothing but restrict the rights of folks that aren't the problem in the first place.

Because people are i***ts and can't teach their children gun safety?

What good is a gun that is locked up in a safe when you need it?

No matter how hard you try, you cannot force your view of morality onto nature.

I have been surprised to see arrests for stoned driving here in WA. I thought marijuana made you sleepy and unlikely to even want to drive. Never having used it, I was operating on hearsay of course. These have been very, very few cases and no big accidents occurred but it did give me a, "Well what do you know?" moment.

Meh. It affects everyone in a different way, apparently. For some pain relief. For others, reducing the ADD/Hyperactivity. For others, depression. And so on and so forth.

Isn't the DC law all about growing your own? That may be why the Republicans in Congress don't like it. :XD:

Heh. You know, I've been living under a rock and haven't read their legislation on it. I am lazy and it doesn't pertain to me :)

Beats the tar out of me why the repubs h**e it.

True, most of the Libs I know are quite well armed but support reasonable gun laws.
I find it odd that this is has become a left vs right thing, I think it more of a G*******t ( e.g. Hillary, Bush, Obama, Rumsfeld + any other member of the C.F.R. ) vs Main St. battle.

I find it odd as well. You'd figure, in a free society, the right to bear arms would be unanimously supported.

No, ur just a lib that v**ed to change everything, even our Admendments. Now, im thru with you.

That's fine.

Anarchist, actually, I don't believe in using government force to tell people how to live and I sure as hell don't appreciate other people telling me how to live.

I don't believe the North had the right to invade and plunder the South under the guise of s***ery and I don't believe the current government has the right to steal my money to pay for silly bulls**t entitlements or waging wars against the boogeyman.

If we can't agree, we can't agree.

May you always find water and shade.

I don't like coming to this, and straight up telling people "I'm smarter than you" but due to your consistent rudeness I will not show you the same curtsey that you don't show me, or anyone for that matter.

I don't, personally, follow the "I'm smarter than you" bit; it's just that life has taught me to be humble, I suppose.

You know, politics and religion can really strike home for some folks but that is no excuse for bigotry and irrational hatred. Sometimes you just can't fix stupid.

Rude and ignorant comments should be relegated to the waste bin and really aren't worth responding to.

So that is in line with what I have read before.

To a point though. You're b***hing about semantics and not addressing the real source of the problem.

You are trying to train a snake not to eat a mouse when you drop it into the snake's cage. Neat trick, if you can pull it off.

By it's very nature, the federal government is the polar opposite of personal liberty.

Solar is awesome. It's just not the be-all end-all solution that some seem to think it is.

I built an array out on a piece of property where I'm building a cabin and there's no power unless I want to pay big bucks to have a trench dug and cable laid.

Puny little 200 watt system that I'm replacing with two Hyundai 235 watt panels this summer plus a wind generator for backup/top-off.

I think it's awesome, it's just not the second coming of the messiah.

Ur wrong, Every state HAS to sign it for it to become Constitutional. To me u sound like others with education and fancy words and not using common horse sense.

Nope. You are operating under the false pretense that anybody actually cares about the constitution these days. Or in those days for that matter.

The reality of the situation, as demonstrated by the civil war, is that might makes right. Income tax ain't freakin' right either but it's "de-facto" law.

I will read your link though, you have my word, and respond. I am not here to spew ignorance or cause trouble, I'm genuinely interested in discussion and thinking about things.

Just because I don't agree with somebody on any given topic does not mean that they are my mortal enemy. I have plenty of friends that I don't agree with on a lot of things and somehow we can still drink a few brews, bbq some pork shoulder and manage to discuss things without murdering each other. I have an open mind and I do not think that I'm better than anybody else. Just to make that plainly clear.

I am not sympathetic to the northern statists and their war that set the ground work for the destruction of the republic.

However, the 14th amendment is very real and the south either signed it or became territories of the United States to be ruled under martial law.

Oh, I'm just having fun. Talking trash is half the fun.

We do have enough gun folks around here, we should do a postal match. With the weather getting nice around here, I'm running out of excuses why I haven't been to the range lately.
