"Children" should not be fucking BREAKING INTO PEOPLE'S HOMES AND STEALING PROPERTY FROM THEM. WTF?! Do YOU have every item you own that could conceivably be used to kill or injure someone locked down so that a person who enters your home illegally cannot take it from you? Once again, I condemn the idea of leaving a gun in the car because it is FOOLISH -- but the gun owner is in no way responsible for the foolish things a THIEF might do with it! Please explain how you make that leap. You could say that Doug925 could have done the responsible thing and not left the gun out there. But then I could say that the THIEF could have done the responsible thing and NOT BEEN A [I]CRIMINAL[/I]. I think I have the trump card, there. A gun left around where there is no one willing to commit the crime of stealing it will not be used to harm. Absent the gun, that person with criminal intent can and will find a crime to commit, and a tool to use in doing it. Spirits fly on dangerous missions Imaginations on fire

Certain folks in SC might suggest you ought to be criminally liable for committing such an act. Do you agree? No. As much as I condemn leaving the gun in the car (what the fuck is so hard about taking it in with you when you go into the house?!), WE ARE NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR THE CRIMINAL ACTS OF OTHERS. [I]PERIOD[/I]. How would you like to be held criminally liable for what carnage someone wreaks with your stolen automobile? Spirits fly on dangerous missions Imaginations on fire

That gives the rest of us pro-gun people a hell of a black eye. I was thinking two black eyes and a broken nose Not until it turns up in a criminal homicide. For now, it's just a black eye. Spirits fly on dangerous missions Imaginations on fire

Well, why would you not?! Why would you ever deem it appropriate to leave a firearm in an unattended car, locked, unlocked, or otherwise? I frown vehemently on the notion of leaving a gun in a vehicle. I really hope you'll never do it again. Do you see why it was a bad idea? I'm wondering, because you said you'll "probably" take the gun out at night. If this lesson cannot be put through to you in the manner in which it went down, then I fear the lesson may be in vain, period. Spirits fly on dangerous missions Imaginations on fire

LOL- you promised to 'correct' my memory on Berkeley in the 90s, and your proof is ASU (the academic joke of the Pac10) a decade later? Fucking weak, even for you. Well, he pushed you to the point of using profanity. That's something, anyway. Spirits fly on dangerous missions Imaginations on fire

And they say Republicans are lock-stepped..... I won't hear of it People can't agree with each other, or admire the way a point was made, without being "in lock-step." I see... Spirits fly on dangerous missions Imaginations on fire

Who's gonna wipe the drool off Biden's mouth the next time he has one of his brain aneurysms? Spirits fly on dangerous missions Imaginations on fire

Anti-gun people tell us that we should forget about voting based on the gun issue, because "no one's ever gonna try to take your guns away." (They tell us this even though powerful people avow that this is exactly what they want.) But let one of us tell liberals that they don't have anything to fear from a creationist (I am vehemently unbelieving of the creation myth, by the way) and they act as though there's been a repeal of the 1st Amendment proposed.

Huh? "As long as he didn't have one chambered it was OK"? With the cop, or with the law? That makes no friggin' sense, and I'd wager the law does not distinguish between having the gun with or without a round chambered. Besides, would they write a separate section of the law to address revolvers? Most of us know that there are a lot of cops out there who will talk out their asses about laws they actually don't understand sufficiently. And people get bad advice out of them.

Yes, you men have such a hard life. Noisy or not, you love us anyway! Y'all are not so bad for being loud, if it's when you fuck! Spirits fly on dangerous missions Imaginations on fire

I like the way you think And just think, if only you were a hot chick, I'd cook it for you and then we'd have endless sex! Spirits fly on dangerous missions Imaginations on fire

Then you'd just have a bunch of legislators either getting NO voting done, or they'd be voting in complete ignorance on a variety of issues instead of just partial. We already know that they DO NOT READ the legislation they vote on. Now you want to throw out the GOOD lobbyists (like, say, organizations that inform the legislators about environment concerns) with the bad? Makes no sense. Would not accomplish an overall good.

Why do you say that? The last I read Hillary is no longer in the running. You don't think that the Clintons don't think they still run the government, do you?? Spirits fly on dangerous missions Imaginations on fire

Propose a method. Down here, the other day, a Sheriff's Deputy left his SWAT AR-15 in his car. The car was burglarized, and now unknown felon or felons possess his rifle, five loaded magazines, his badge, his Sheriff's Office I.D. card, among other items. You can make legal sales difficult or impossible. Hell, you could even ban civilian ownership. What you will NOT do is EVER dry up the supply that will make its way inevitably into criminal hands. Would you state your proposal for what you think would do the trick, yet not make it difficult or impossible for the peaceable citizens to purchase and own and carry their guns for defense, Billvon?

There is the valid and time-tested axiom First Among Equals. In this case, as in all exigent or emergency situations, the women (and children) should and ought to be saved first. .02 Is it out of line for me to ask that rather than simply STATE that, you DEFEND it?

I am not married, haven't found "the one." I have to imagine that if I were to find her, to the point of wanting to marry her, the old stuff would lose its magic and I wouldn't mind detaching from it and letting it go up in smoke. (Yes, I'd burn it.) Shouldn't the woman you marry make you want to forget the ones who came before? Spirits fly on dangerous missions Imaginations on fire

#2 is what I voted. But it would depend a bit on how sad they are. I guess I voted from the perspective of not having such really sad memories evoked by my old saved junk and notes and cards and stuff. I treasure it because it's part of me and my life. No, I don't throw it away -- usually ever. Spirits fly on dangerous missions Imaginations on fire

Why be a homophobe? The more gay guys, the better. My fantasy is to be the only straight guy in town. And then ironically you would drop your glasses and they would break, and you'd whine about how it isn't fair... Oh, wait... that was The Twilight Zone!
