It's not a coincindence that most doorways are the same size, it's a

Well unfortunately you are correct, I should not have mentioned it since I
have read some other posts just now. I guess I thought someone would
follow what I ment, not that I was for against registering anything.
Sorry to bring it up.

A guy I work with, last year he heard a noise in the middle of the
night. He thought someone was breaking into his house through the
ba***t. He lives in one of these fancy communities where jaywalking
would make the headlines, so nothing bad happens there. Anyway, he gets
out his gun & goes floor by floor, room by room clearing the place.
Turns out a piece of aluminum siding came loose at the top of the house
& was swaying in the breeze. He also has 2 girls. Lucky thing they
weren't doing something bad like sneaking in a boyfriend, or even
sneaking back in themselves after sneaking out for the night. (I did
that one *many* times as a kid). It would call for discipline sure, but
not a bullet in the head as would surely have happened had he actually
encountered a person unexpectedly in, say, the ba***t.
And that's how many tragedies can/do happen here in the US everyday.....
I love David Buttery's line elsewhere in this thread...."So it's in the
Constitution? So was Prohibition" That about sums it up. If it's bad
law, it's bad law. Get rid of it.

I will say it one more time and then be done with it. I was talking about
the logic of it that is all.
I think Adolf Hitler put it best when he said we are now going to be the
safest nation of the world since we now have all the guns registered.
Also if you noticed thru Gearan article the sentiment is very close to the
same for racing with nonracing or noncar people. They will go after racing
when they have finished taking guns and cigarettes away from people.
Again Gualt I am sorry that I even brought this up since it seems no one
understood what I ment about the logic with the excpetion of people like
you.

I'm not so sure Prohibition was in the constitution.
Anyway, if it weren't for Prohibition, we wouldn't have NASCAR.... :)

If you live alone, as I do, there should be no one else in your residence
without your permission. If you have a family you obviously need to take
different precautions.

Never argue with an idiot. He brings you down to his level, then beats you

If someone breaks into your home, he's considered a danger to you and your
family's well-being. At that point, he's given up any rights he may or may not
have...
Would you rather he kills *you*?

It was added in 1919- Prohibition was imposed by a Constitutional Amendment
(the 18th) but was then repealed by the 21st Amendment. One might point out
that the 2nd Amendment was written by the Founders in the "Bill of Rights"
(1st ten amendments to the Constitution). The writings of the founders (a
group of armed rebels) are quite clear that a free people must have the
means to resist a tyrannical government. People forget that the ultimate
purpose of the 2nd Amendment isn't for hunting or even for self defense.
LOL! Yep.
I notice you left out "Soccer".... good man :-)

Hehe. Tennis.
When I was a kid, I remember thinking that when the referee called duice,
that was the time when the players had to sit down to take a drink ;-)
