Not only bad guys would ignore the law. If this tripe were to actually get passed, i have a feeling that more than a few "law-abiding" citizens would have a few ammo cans left over that would not be destroyed. Realistically though, I don't see this going anywhere, it's very similar to the...

Come on, nobody is going to give a nod to Uninteded Consequences or Enemies Foreign and Domestic? Both Pro-gun and fun reads! Ed

Don't have anything useful to add, but this has to be one of the weirdest message titles I have ever seen. :) Ed

Flipped between the Death Wish run on amc, and Family Guy/Southpark. ;-) I don't see what he was doing as vigilante, so much as offensive defense, is the best i can come up with. He wasn't hunting anyone, and only responded with force when force, or the real threat of force, was used on...

In the first one, his wife was killed, and he armed himself with an old revolver, and would walk through the bad areas of town, waiting to get mugged, when the badguy would threaten him, he would burn them down.

So i watched Death Wish for the first time about a week ago. And its been running on AMC seems like every night this week. The summary blurb in the guide for each movie(Death wish 1-4) always says "the Vigilante Architect". In the first movie, was he really a vigilante?(i haven't seen more...

It had me up in arms at first, because 1 month ago, there was a cop car in front of my house with a little girl(8 or so, recently crying, and obviously scared) in the front seat watching another house. I knocked on his window and asked if everything was OK(he was directly in front of my house...

Hey all, been a while since i posted, but wanted to get this out there(here, whatever). Found a site called felonspy.com that says it lists felons in your area (similar to some states sex offender search), however it appears to just randomly generate maps with random people and crimes. Check...

Personally My stuff is not just things. It is things that I have worked for, used the limited time i have on this rock to purchase. By taking my stuff, you are enslaving me. If you steal my motorcycle, you don't just steal a hunk of metal, you have taken every hour i worked to pay for it...

My friend and i were shotting in the woods at some shotgun clays. There was one at about 125 yards, we were shooting at it with a .243, and he missed, then i missed, back and forth until the mag went dry. I said "screw it" and pulled out my ruger p89 as a joke. 1 shot, and busted the...

Rights and Boundaries Am i the only one who found Uninteded Consequences an excellent book? Ed

How can I put this. A log time ago, in a galaxy far far away..... "I obey laws put forth, and will bend slightly so long as the law causes me little discomfort. I will blantanly ignore laws which restrict my freedoms in a way that is not easy to get around. It is similar to hiking in the...

Obiwan, you are correct, the volunteer military that we have now, signed the dotted line. They agreed of their own free will that they will follow orders. I'm not saying in any way shape or form that they shouldn't. But they volunteered, you are asying that we can take non volunteers, and...

I'm thinking your are more jaded than I. (I hope)Are you assuming that because we don't agree with forced service, that we would not defend the country? And why do you feel that so few would defend the country? All armed service branches are meeting, or close to meeting, their quotas...

And I don't think that most of us here appreciate you questioning our patriotism because we feel that slavery, mandatory service, whatever(a rose by any other name...), in the military is wrong. I realize that I live in the greatest nation in the world, and love this country with all my heart...

Ok, so because it wouldn't be picking cotton, it's not slavery. Oh and the master wouldn't have a whip, he would have a gun. No one has answered how you would discipline the 487,000 some odd people who would resist being made "non-slaves". Outside of Leavenworth, what is an appropriate...

So in order to get our youth to take pledging allegiance to our country seriously, we should violate the principles that make this country great? Ed

Please be more careful with your thread titles in the future. I thought I was being excluded fromt the free food! Ed:D

I don't disagree totaly with the draft. However, I agree with the sentiment that if people aren't willing to defend their country, it's not worth saving. Frankly, I just don't see there being a need to draft people to directly defend our country. If the time comes to defend from an attack...

I agree that forced labor, paid or not is slavery, but was merely using that in the rather long list of things that is wrong with that idea. Ed
