I just watched the story on TRMS tonight.

No, I'm not worried about being robbed, I'm worried about crazy ass gun nuts pitching a brick through my window because they disagree with my political views. If I were worried about being robbed, i'd lock my doors, or take my car keys out of the ignition.

Because my personal views shouldn't impact public policy. I hate shrimp, mustangs, and reality tv... that doesn't mean I would promote laws against shrimp boats, ford, or jersey shore...

I'll put up that sign when you put up a sign that says "I have a tiny penis and a big gun" in your front yard.

I do believe that bullshit, unfortunately, an openly atheist politician isn't something that the current political climate would allow. If you don't say "god bless america" you aren't getting the votes needed unless you run unopposed.

If you're a convicted felon, and are pulled over and arrested for possession of multiple guns, you should face further charges. Simple, my political views are not the same as my personal views. Personally, I feel guns are nothing but artificial courage for people who don't have enough of their own. Politically, I support the second amendment, just as I support the first amendment. Including the freedom of religion, in spite of the fact that personally I think religion is more harmful to society than helpful.

He didn't dispute any of that, but instead argued that his 2nd amendment rights shouldn't be infringed.

Flare guns and nail guns are just fine, its the bullet ones I'm talking about... Come show me how your standard carry weapon drives nails, or directs rescue ships at night.

Knives have practical utility outside of injuring people.

By "No clutch" do you mean the lever won't actuate the clutch, or you mean the engine spins independent of the wheel while in gear?

I do it, I'm not afraid of it. If it were legal I'd do it more often.

I would love a k1300s or k1600gt

I got enough power at any reasonable speed to break the tire loose or bring the front end up, I've ridden a couple of gen 1 busas, and didn't notice a huge power difference on the butt dyno...apparently I cant feel the roughly 20 horsepower difference. I've also got a full akra exhaust, and a pc2, so a few extra horses there... I've never ridden a gen 2.

Flying couches are great, I like my xx, have done 30 hours on my corbin solo with no pain, and 18 hours 2-up with little discomfort. Busa or zx-14 have similar layout and power... go for it.

Personal experience suggests otherwise. You live your life your way, I'll live my life my way. I'm so confident that I still leave my doors unlocked, leave my keys in the ignition when I am out and about, and still stop to help people out on the road if it looks like they are broken down. I'd rather live my life like I do, and be disappointed from time to time than live my life in fear and be paranoid all the time. Fuck that...

True, i tend to avoid churches, i also tend to avoid station ave if i don't have any business to attend to in that area.

We have a population of over 100,000. 1 homicide makes the simple math estimation 1 in 100,000.

alright, then we are at 1 a year on average... (who brought balloons?) still 14 times more likely to die in a plane crash, even if those murders were random, as opposed to being related to domestic problems and drug deals.

right, one was his dad. The other was a drug deal gone awry... over a 9 year period from 99 to 08, there were 4. http://recordspedia.com/Ohio/Ashtabula-County/Crime-Statistics looks like 2 in 2009 (ex-spouse) and daughter http://starbeacon.com/local/x905910191/DOUBLE-HOMICIDE 0 for 2010 http://starbeacon.com/local/x905910191/DOUBLE-HOMICIDE 3 for 2011 cord cox, his g/f (drug deal), and the L.A. cafe shooting (bar fight) 2 for 2012 (spouse, daughter) http://www.newsnet5.com/dpp/news/local_news/oh_ashtabula/double-murder-mother-daughter-found-dead-on-kain-avenue-near-rt-20-in-ashtabula and now 2 for 2013 so i count 13 in a 14 year period... .928 murders per year... if we can get through the rest of the year, it'll drop to .866

We average less than 1 homicide per year, we're still on track. And this one wasn't a spouse (like most of them are) but pretty close. Some disgruntled worshipper with daddy issues. Also, I'm not sure I'd have shot my own son, even if I were armed and he were pointing a gun at me... Thoughts?

If you were east side, i'd be down.

Well, isn't that what you JUST said... It's okay for you to "think" a certain way, but if you post it somewhere where people who might disagree can see it, then you're just being mean, and haven't considered peoples feelings.

I had no intention of getting back into this debate, and here I am back in this debate.

I'll note your disapproval... I've got nothing to prove to you or anyone else.
