You know, I hear this all the time. While certainly true in the inner cities of America, I'm not so sure it's true in middle-class America. Moreover, getting a Glock with 30-round mags may even be more difficult.

By your logic Pete, we shouldn't even bother outlawing murder. If someone wants to kill someone else, they'll find a way. If a law against murder won't stop murder, why have such a law at all?

Heck a pipe bomb might've been more effective anyway.

Chas, I'm working on it Like the sig? Fits the avatar very well

I couldn't help but notice your overt act of plagiarism, but since it's working out so well for you, feel free to use it for your own purposes.

After all, that's just as Republican as selling imported Chinese Kalashnikovs to children, would you not agree???

Except the right to murder wasn't clearly spelled out by some very smart folks in our government charter.

Absolutely. And plagarism's the sincerist form of flattery

You a powdered wig too?

Just kiddin', if I didn't like ya I wouldn't respond at all.

Prudence dictated that I not ask what portion of the scriptures he relied on for such "high" authority, for I could tell from his demeanor (he had had a good amount to drink) at the time that he would brook no argument on the subject. Needless to say, I did not put much faith in his assertion. God-given rights are only good in heaven; in this world, one need have recourse to the law.

I seldom frequent a drinking establishment as I've noticed they're full of drunks.

I prefer to stay home and drink with my dog, she's quite sociable and even tempered.
