I mentioned MMA because it is becoming more popular, and is something people could realistically try out. Yes it's a bit overhyped, perhaps, but to write it off as "the new Bruce Lee" is a bit silly. Bruce Lee was effective. MMA is effective. The point is, get involved with a grappling art...

We've lost the younger generations Others have said it well; we've lost the younger generations. They are growing up in a completely different culture, one which fears guns, idolizes guns, and teaches nothing real about them. Look at ham radio. Legal hurdles killed it, when it could have...

Oh, also, chokes can take a bit of time. It's a lot easier to destroy a joint.

Stay away Grapplers are good. You do not want to be touched, or be anywhere within jumping distance. A good grappler can have you down and permanently disabled very, very quickly. Even a mediocre grappler can get the job done if you don't know exactly what's going on. As regards the...

About the ending The ending is practically straight out of a Japanese movie. That's why it's so strange; it's from a different culture. For any of you familiar with oriental martial arts or philosophy, remember the role of honor. Ben Wade was an honorable man, in the oriental sense. A...

You are right Of course, many state constitutions (including the super-liberal states here in the Northeast) lay out a more explicit RKBA than the US Constitution. :D

The existance of NICS is based on emotion and lies. :banghead: Of course, if we were to cut out everything in the USG that's based on emotion and lies, we'd be left with... hmmm.... ...Let me think here. I'm sure I'll think of something... Well, probably something like we used to have...

That is SICK, INSANE, and DISEASED The biggest problem with computers is that people trust them more than the person standing across the counter. If the computer says you're a felon, you're a felon. If the computer says you're God, you're God. Most peoples' faith in computers is absolute...

WMDs There is a legal term which I do not remember which refers to something that creates an unacceptable risk for an unacceptably large number of people, and is therefore outlawable even if it would otherwise be legal according to someone's normal rights. You can, in principle, ban ebola /...

ACLU position You are correct, the Constitution forbids any kind of legal infringement on the RKBA. The problem is, America is running as a democracy, and the vast majority of people, including most gun owners (and of course the NRA), believes that artillery and heavy weaponry (bombs...

The ACLU's interpretation of the RKBA Actually, I thought that parts of the ACLU's interpretation of the RKBA was rather well-thought-out and accurate, oddly enough. I was quite surprised. Their "collective ownership" parts are crap, but this part is the underpin to the rest: I thought...

There isn't a clean solution... One of the big problems with this country is that it functions on entirely too much majority opinion. We are not a Democracy, folks! What if 30 percent of Americans supported gun rights? 60 percent supported a complete confiscation? We live in a Republic...

Back to the original question I just had a discussion with my brother about this. We started off with the question, "Should murderers be allowed to purchase firearms?" 1) The CATO map shows a shocking number of no-knock raids on the wrong address. If the owner shoots and kills a cop...
