Howdy,
My primary issue with non-hunting weapons (which I define as any pistol, any gun that can carry more than three rounds, and (in some ways) any semi-auto) is that they easily enable the whacko guy to walk through a crowded place and take out a bunch of people. Bombs (that work) aren't easy to make and their components are somewhat regulated. Vehicular homicide is difficult to pull off, particularly for more than one or two folks, someone with a knife is gonna have trouble killing more than one person (and that's harder than it is with a gun) before the other folks around are able to run away. Etc. etc. I grew up with guns. I like them. I like knowing how to use guns. However, I have to question if "guns are a cool hobby" should outweigh the issues involved with giving whackos easy access to >10 shot weapons designed to kill people. And I don't put much weight into the whole "right to bear arms" crap. #1, a hunting weapon like I define above is still an "arm". The constitution doesn't meantion the right to bear 10+ shot semi-automatic pistols or AR-15s. #2, if that were really a good motivation someone would've shot Bush by now. :-) Mark |

Err....can we just stop this thread before it turns into a huge GUNS KILL PEOPLE vs PEOPLE KILL PEOPLE debate which has no bearing on our little car forum? I'd like to respond to the above comment, but really, I'm not going to change Mark's view and he isn't going to change mine....and I'd imagine that everyone here is kinda set in their ways. Maybe we all could go back to discussing cars. Costas cars and such... and the 'such' includes projective weapons |

I tried, in vain apparently. Costas, you going to the Big Show? Hahahaha...yeah...you could see where this was going from the first few posts. [sigh] ANYway, I am not going to make Nats this year. Simply too much going on in my private life and way too much in my work life for me to make it. I have new tires and a prepped car, but no time. I will plan better for next year and hopefully make it. And in the spearit of the thread, [I crack myself up], did the guys who hunted with spears only carry three? Costas cars and such... it is a JOKE! (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/tongue.gif) (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/tongue.gif) big hugs everybody! |
