You should have stopped here. Owning a gun is a right, which has far more significance.Quote:

I love breathing all that smog and having oil wars so we don't have to invest in proper public transit or build walkable cities. Having dead parents is awesome too.
Ah, we've reached the point where the discussion matter is being talked about less than the analogy. Always a good time.
I don't think I'd mind cars or the internet being a right. It would be very hard to be productive in the US if you lost either.
That's what this thread is for, no?Quote:

I will defend the "loser" addict since treating said addict can simultaneously remove and addict from society and provide a productive person. Guns are basically worthless.Quote:

Ok, before you fish up the largest red herring I've ever seen. Consider it's possible to have and use a car electrically or alternatively fueled etc. and it is possible to strive for a better environment and use torque powered devices because they are so beneficial. Or do you shoot your way to and from work every day Yosemite Sam style? Also remember Subaru promotes that they have a waste free factory......... jus sayin'.
Thats all of the rights.Quote:

Some old bitch wants the police to search those thugs that live next door. "They aut not be act'n like that" Due process? "KILL THAT PEDOPHILE. DON'T WASTE THE JUDGES TIME. KILL HIM. KILL KILL KILL"
Most people will go their entire life and not utilize all of their rights.
And 99% of gun owners already are productive in society. They don't need a second chance and some hand holding to get it right.Quote:
