you said it... they were hard to come by in 08 when I got mine... I had to drive to new jersey in an enterprise cargo van.

so much fail take off the tinfoil hat, and turn off faux nuz for a day, you might get a little less paranoid... gun bands? like "guns and roses" "machine gun kelly" "38 special"

definitely seems like a keeper...

I would definitely prefer that the people who choose to carry guns on their person regularly also be prudent enough to learn to be proficient with them. It speaks volumes about the maturity level, and dedication.

I'd rather know, like the story about the guy or the lady who sued winnebago because their cruise control wasn't an autopilot... I'd rather know when people are feeding me bullsh!t regardless of topic.

If you're drawing your weapon to defend yourself in a life or death situation, you are probably right... if you're just pissed off and incapable of controlling your anger, I bet it's really easy to point a gun at someone.. Or if you feel that you're entitled to someone else's property, I bet its easy to point a gun. The fact that it's harder to use a gun as a "defensive weapon" (if you can call it that) doesn't make it any less deadly or easy to use for people who aren't using it for that. I've chosen my preferred method of death, believe me, I'm exponentially more likely to die at the hands of an inconsiderate, daydreaming, or otherwise distracted motorist than by any other means. I honestly care as much about gun control as I do about helmet laws... whatever man, has no effect on me...but i'm not voting for it. I'll say it again, I'm not proposing a ban on guns, whatever makes you feel warm and fuzzy inside, go for it.

yo dawg.. how bout you be taking your grammer skilz srsly yo? or is this off the heezy for sheezy like its ninetenn ninety neezy?

so if you don't have a gun, and you want to take someone out, your first thought is, I'll mix up some chemicals in my kitchen and make a bomb? LOL, that's just a funny thought... My mind immediately goes back 1 level to swords/knives/blunt weapons and bare hands...but i guess a bomb is reasonable... i have nothing to say to that...apparently I didn't think of every scenario, but now i have this mental image of some guy with a mustache chasing you with essentially a bowling ball with a wick coming out of it, just hissing away as he waits for the blast...

so if there were no guns, these people would kill you with "something else", and you would have less of a chance to defend yourself against "whatever that is" as a fairly well built, spry and strapping young lad that you are?

so why would you want to continue to provide these people, that you don't trust, with free access to weapons that could easily kill you? and I think if you did a study on violence in our history, you would find that we are way more peaceful now than we have ever been. (human beings)

If there is one thing there is plenty of in this county, it's room... I never said to ban guns, I've never proposed it as an act of policy... I've proposed it as an act of agency, that we as a people decide that there is no need for them in a peaceful society, but I've never suggested we "ban" guns. IMO there is a big difference

possibly because you know deep down that i have thought this through, and my position is just as likely as yours to be accurate?

Then how do you see this going down?

Pioneers defending their new homeland from invaders from another landmass in the 1700's. (A time when there were no planes, no satellites, no infrared scopes, no guided missiles, no rocket launchers, no drones, no tanks, no effective body armor... the list goes on and on) vs a confrontation against the most sophisticated military on the planet on the same soil...in the 21st century. not the same... and I bet any group that declared war on the united states of america would find themselves destroyed rather quickly and without much in the way of collateral damage... you might make the news for a day or 2, something along the lines of "an unexpected explosion occurred in a field in BFE, authorities say that the building must have been a stockpile for weapons. The explosion apparently caused by a malfunction of one of the weapons. All occupants were killed in the blast."

so not only is it likely stolen, it's now crossed state lines....

People have suggested that the second amendment was in place (in part) to allow "the people" to defend themselves from the government... usually these people are conservatives who also oppose scaling back the national defense budget...

well, I didn't, never had a "lame ass car" just a bunch of lame ass car parts that were otherwise useless on their own.

sorta... but it's not a "racer buggy" with a racing seat and 5 point harness

it's a simple question many are posting... Why bother removing the VIN if it was not stolen? Is the vin in a conspicuous place that he really wanted to polish up and make pretty for a show bike? Or is it strictly a stunt bike BECAUSE someone removed the VIN?

I'll have to take your word on it... In my experience, a slight deviation from your path isn't enough to make someone notice you who is otherwise looking right through you. whatever works for you

so kids are the only ones who can just find a gun laying about?

certainly takes more force to be effective...

i don't get it... looks cool I guess, but why bother messing with an old, underpowered bike to make it way less comfortable so you can ride it fast-ish?

nope nowhere... anymore, and she didn't use that name when she did...

I'm assuming you've at least got some organization behind you, not considering taking on the military all by yourself...should it come to martial law... or are you just expecting some faceless agency to rush in and protect you if you're named an enemy of the state...?
