Kennedy 0 #1 February 10, 2011 It's far too accessible. It scars and kills hundreds of thousands every year. It destroys our parks and natural resources. Any loony or felon can get it or make their own. Clearly We Need Common Sense Legislation To Control This Dangerous Item. Yes, we need to curtail Fire Rights. We need Burn Control legislation in congress, now. For the children.witty subliminal message Guard your honor, let your reputation fall where it will, and outlast the bastards. 1* Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JohnRich 4 #2 February 10, 2011 Someone should have known she was about to snap, and denied her access to matches. Match-control legislation is clearly called for here. We must start a no-match list immediately. That will meld perfectly with kallend's future crime prediction machine. With these two measures in place, incidents of arson can be reduced to zero!

normiss 897 #3 February 10, 2011 Do you have any clue how many matches are in a box? Good Lord man! Why do we trust people with so many matches???? 32??????????? Oh the sheer terror of knowing there are people waling around with the ability to start 43 fires. This insanity has to stop! We have a match control issue in America and it requires legislation.

Not to mention that matches (and lighters too) are used for smoking, and should be tightly controlled. If we don't let people have unlimited matches and lighters, then they won't smoke as much. We need match control legislation. How many you can buy in a certain time period, how big the matches are, how many in a pack (those huge match packs are a disaster waiting to happen), how many you can have in your home, background checks to include a psych eval to make sure you aren't a pyromaniac, ect., ect., ect."There are NO situations which do not call for a French Maid outfit."

Gravitymaster 0 #5 February 10, 2011 Clearly if we ban matches and lighters, people will also stop smoking and it will result in 100's of thousands of needless deaths every year. Think of the children's lives this will save. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jimmytavino 16 #6 February 10, 2011 Clearly....... there are alot of wackos out there.... soooo much is messed up in this country... families are in turmoil for all sorts of reasons, sensible AND nonsensible.....Often there is no place to turn to... We need to start Caring for one another and encouraging respect for all, and self control when things start to unravel.. not sure what the answer is.... but i think,,,, it's NOT legislation.....a decent dose of Common Sense,, excersized by Everyone,, might be a good start...jt Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
popsjumper 2 #7 February 10, 2011 Quote how many in a pack (those huge match packs are a disaster waiting to happen)... I propose a limit of 6 per magazine er, box. Six shots er, chances at starting a fire is the limit.My reality and yours are quite different. I think we're all Bozos on this bus.

It all started here - with simple fire starters . . . Now we have billions of assault matches that have extended magazines. I really wish the government would get thier act together and follow the more liberal counties examples and just have a complete match ban.I'm not usually into the whole 3-way thing, but you got me a little excited with that. - Skymama BTR #1 / OTB^5 Official #2 / Hellfish #408 / VSCR #108/Tortuga/Orfun Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Gravitymaster 0 #9 February 10, 2011 We need to start wheeling out all the people who have been disfigured by fire and start proclaiming that if you don't support banning matches and lighters, then you support the continuing disfigurement of these victims of "match violence".

Kennedy 0 #11 February 10, 2011 Sweet humanity, think of all the areas government hasn't controlled yet. Look at all the loopholes! -no background checks on private sales of fire stuff -cheap and dangerous saturday night special matches -easily concealable lighters -deadly assault lighters -over sized grills and firepits (who needs that much fire?!?) -sick nut jobs collecting arsenals of the dreaded zippo brand, claiming it is a "collection" Clearly the Brady Campaign to Prevent Fire Violence should give this country an "F" rating. And the Coalition to Stop Fire Violence should be picketing at statehouses daily.witty subliminal message Guard your honor, let your reputation fall where it will, and outlast the bastards. 1* Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Gravitymaster 0 #12 February 10, 2011 Given their potential for mass deaths, we need to have matches declared WMD's and banned by International Law. Think of all the lives that could be saved every year. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I think that the UN already has legislation up for consideration on ruling our Match Laws inconsistent with international law and therefore by UN standards illegal. They will be sending in inspection groups to make sure that we are complying soon.I'm not usually into the whole 3-way thing, but you got me a little excited with that. - Skymama BTR #1 / OTB^5 Official #2 / Hellfish #408 / VSCR #108/Tortuga/Orfun Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
