I'm sure you are among that list, whether you are willing to accept it or not. I don't believe you prefer anarchy. I probably should have elaborated. I'm perfectly happy living in a society with rules and with people who abide by them. However, people will commit violent crimes irrespective of any such laws. There are people who feel better knowing that such laws exist and want more laws to "protect" them. Unfortunately, there's not always someone there to enforce those laws when you need them to be and laws aren't really relevant if you're maimed or worse. So, I'd much rather be reliant on myself and have the ability to do so than have someone with an irrational fear (cloaked in nobility) take it away for a false sense of security. -------------------------------------------------- the depth of his depravity sickens me. -- Jerry Falwell, People v.

It's a bitch to own automatic weapons here because of the license required.

1:1:0 I got rearended by an illegal alien with no ID in an unregistered car with a stolen license plate who walked away before the police showed up. I'm fine, damage was minor and most importantly, I got a jump in! -------------------------------------------------- the depth of his depravity sickens me. -- Jerry Falwell, People v. Larry Flynt

They are 2 different things. Do a search and you'll find the definition of each one that i posted a long time ago. So, catsup is ketchup but ketchup isn't necessarily catsup. I guess I should havefigured it had been discussed already with some of the polls lately. -------------------------------------------------- the depth of his depravity sickens me. -- Jerry Falwell, People v.

Do you have frying pans in Florida? Shiiit.... Of curse, we got 'em, but how're ya gunna git that nice bug flavor unless ya use the hood of a Dee-triot car? Kinda like making shine without the radiator. I guess we coulda hold the pan out the wind-er er sompthing on the way through the cane out to the DZ. Or you could just be in NJ and jealous of the weather down here.

I think recycling for a lot of people has to do with convenience. At my old place, they had recycling bins, at this one they don't; so, I see a lot more cans and bottles in the trash. -------------------------------------------------- the depth of his depravity sickens me. -- Jerry Falwell, People v.

The weather's fine down here (aside from being able to fry breakfast on the hood of my car), but instead of being up where it's cool (13.5k), I'm stuck in the office. -------------------------------------------------- the depth of his depravity sickens me. -- Jerry Falwell, People v. Larry Flynt

If you believe that you are in imminent danger of being killed or grieviously harmed, and if the person you killed has the means and ability to do just that. Actually, it depends from state to state. In Florida, it includes: "... the person is justified in the use of deadly force only if he or she reasonably believes that such force is necessary .... to prevent the imminent commission of a forcible felony. " F.S. 776.012. The whole statute reads: Use of force in defense of person.--A person is justified in the use of force, except deadly force, against another when and to the extent that the person reasonably believes that such conduct is necessary to defend himself or herself or another against such other's imminent use of unlawful force. However, the person is justified in the use of deadly force only if he or she reasonably believes that such force is necessary to prevent imminent death or great bodily harm to himself or herself or another or to prevent the imminent commission of a forcible felony. -------------------------------------------------- the depth of his depravity sickens me. -- Jerry Falwell, People v.

[replyLet's start small and work our way up. Why don't you show me how to prevent accidental deaths caused by legally-owned guns, then we'll deal with the criminals next. Since I assume you mean children getting hold of guns, to add pain to the family member who allowed them to get hold of it, throw them in jail forever. Same thing for drownings in pools, falling down stairs and other parental failures to supervise their kids. Short of that, I don't know how you can enforce any kind of law regarding the storage of firearms without violating the Constitution. The only thing you can do is allow Eddie Eagle (NRA), 4-H, scouts, police, etc to educate children about guns. But, there are many people who don't want their children exposed to guns, condoms or anything else they don't feel is appropriate. -------------------------------------------------- the depth of his depravity sickens me. -- Jerry Falwell, People v.

I want you to imagine yourself as a criminal. In one state, people can carry firearms and 3 miles away across the border in another, they can't. Which state are you going to attack someone? -------------------------------------------------- the depth of his depravity sickens me. -- Jerry Falwell, People v. Larry Flynt

Essentially, what you are saying is that gun owners are criminals waiting to happen in the minds of many people. But, somehow stronger laws will differentiate them from criminals, because with stronger laws, people won't die. So, when Eutopia arrives there will be guns, whew!
