The second amendment is meant to be a check for the standing army, which is under the control of the government. If someone got into a leadership position and started going against the will of the citizens of the country, the citizens should have the power and ability to unseat the standing government and install one that represents their interests. Most of the 1st world population today sees how things are as the only way they are, they don't realize that the people don't belong to the government, the government belongs to the people. These are the people who are happy to give away their rights as a person so that life doesn't seem as hard for them. I'm not a city dweller by nature. I grew up in the middle of the woods in Vermont. Everybody had lots of guns. Gun violence? Didn't really exist. Now I live and work in Columbus. People around me, for the most part, are terrified by guns. They think that freedom of speech is an outdated right that needs to be reigned in, because people shouldn't have their feelings hurt. They use the argument that the founders of the country meant muskets and not hand guns and AR15s. They don't understand the bigger picture. I'm not sure who's fault this is. Is it the education system failing them? Did their parents not explain things well enough, or at all? Is it their own fault for not being able or willing to think about the consequences of what they want done despite information being widely available today? It will be interesting to see where this all leads. With all that said, I am not against stricter requirements for owning firearms. Safety and training classes should be pretty close to mandatory. Background checks should actually be functional and not just for show, etc. At some point though, people need to realize that there will never be a true solution to the mass murder problem. Some people want to do damage and that's that.

Rode the Duc to work. Not sure it was a good idea, though. Now I wish I was someplace else.

Maybe I should just stick with telling you all why Harleys are the best bike made. LMAO

Hahaha I might show up just to throw dildos at sam.

Sounds like something @TimTheAzn would enjoy.

Talk to the bank you wanna use, get prior approval for the amount you wanna spend. Private party sale is a little more leg work, but not bad. Dealerships have direct lines to several institutions, so it is a smoother process for the most part.

Took the winter to clean it and 7 miles to cover it in road grime. Great to get out though. Only 7 miles to work but 60 to get Home. It was worth it

I think the track out back will be all dirt... Shop driveway will be gravel. But I did find a reasonably dry path to the street after work and made some noise. Was going through the Ducati manual when I got back and saw it was rated at 79HP at the crank when new. Ha!

Someplace else...like out looking for a left mirror????

At least your bike isn't a 700# behemoth. Then add my fat arse on top of it. Someone would have to call a crane to come lift me out of the yard....

Who are you? If you say Gary Manning I'll have you banned.

Might as well make that driveway to and from the shop, the front straight for the mini-moto track!

Beauty of this country is, you are free to leave whenever you want.

I need to learn how to use PhotoShop. LOL

This is almost as dumb as that other post about UFOs

There is no doubt there are gun grabbers out there that would say almost anything to make that happen. But the theory that our own government is behind, 911, Sandy Hook, Vegas, Orlando or even Parkland is freaking insane. I'm all in for the 2nd amendment but all this conspiracy bullshit ON BOTH SIDES needs to stop. Trump isn't Hitler, Obama wasn't Hitler no one is trying to "take over" America from with in. Yes they are all liars on their own agenda ALL of them(both sides) usually on a economic agenda not a take over a nation level. I like my guns I want to keep my guns and i'll fly that banner all day long. But as soon as someone that I support starts slinging the mud in a way that just seem insane I'm done with them. With todays tech and cameras in every ones pocket there is no way a large government cover up could ever fly. I'm about to go on a social media unfriend campaign due to this and ill be unfriend both people that support the left and right because I'm just that sick of it.
