How many of you carry a gun as part of your cycling equipment?

You win this time good sir, but the war is not over! Liberals are strong bunch... our numbers grow larger by the day. Soon we will have enough to put another democrat in the white house.Then some lunatic will commit a terrible gun crime which will be sensationalized by the liberal media and public sentiment will shift against you. When that happens watch out. The only guns you'll be toting then will be shooting silly string!

From there I expect the next battle to be fought over your SUVs and pickups. Tis only a matter of time before they join your guns in the scrap heap...

Ahh, someday nobody will be allowed to have anything nicer than JDOUtlook! Then he won't have to try to confiscate everybody's weapon!

Maybe then we'll have to put deadweights and gaudy paint jobs on our better bikes so they're no better than your Roadmaster.

I am sure liberalism may have some semblance of a point, though. I truly hope you take this opportunity to research it instead of humming the Internationale and wishing no one had an SUV.

If a .45 cal pistol makes me safer than I would be without one... Would´nt I be even more safer with a M-16? Now, if that would be true, would´nt this guy be even safer:

In the end I just keep asking myself how come everyone is not longing for the kind of quality safety the americans seem to enjoy... :rolleyes:
Wiki says you would just need a permit to own one of those in Sweden yet you say it's pretty safe there, eh JoakimT? I guess I see your point.......

well, I guess they said submachine guns not helicopter door guns. It sure looks like gun ownership doesn't automatically degrade public safety, though.

BTW I have read the accounts of veterans of various wars and armies and they all agree that a mortar is not a good weapon for daily carry, so let's not be silly.

The day the liberals try to ban personal firearms in this country will be the day that the 2nd civil war will start. I, for one, don't buy into this hooey that the 2nd amendment was meant only to form militias. I believe that it was meant for everyone so that the citzens of this country could preserve thier constitutional freedoms by force, if necessary, from being taken away by an unjust government. It shouldn't take much because from what I have seen, your average liberal hasn't got the stomach for conflict and will probably give in before the first shot was fired.

Your average liberal such as JFK? Come on, my friend, keep the level of the argument above pointless insults. A liberal aesthetic has nothing to do with courage or lack thereof.

And if that government was voted in by your fellow man, would you comply? :)

Not only no, but HELL NO!

Fellow "men"?

More like fellow sheep.

Those that would give up liberty for security deserve NEITHER. Ben Franklin said it best.

There is a revolution coming good sir; it is called liberalism. One day you will be forced to surrender your weapons of destruction. If you fail to do this we'll see if you peashooter/bicycle combination can outfox a tank. Good day!
Perhaps the liberal philosophy is to turn the other cheek, expecting meek demeanor to yield an inheritance of the earth?

"Consider our presidential election in 2000. Blatantly ignoring the will of Florida voters, the U.S. Supreme Court handed victory to Bush on a technicality. Liberals agreed that there was nothing more to do in appeal, but according to Locke, if a government is guilty of systematic abuse of its power, then citizens have a right install legitimate rule. Instead, liberals stood by willingly after the ruling, acting as if they had just lost a close football game...Like Ben Franklin and all other liberals, I would not give up essential liberty to purchase a little temporary safety. Weighing public safety against the liberty of gun ownership and establishing militia follow in the same vein. Many Americans scoff at the necessity of modern day minutemen, and I hope they will not be needed in our lifetime. However, preserving the Second Amendment is like having a good insurance policy: You may hate making the monthly payments, but you sure are glad you did when an inferno consumes your house."

Not to imply that armed rebellion is always the most effective or rational response to unjust laws, but your objection rings a bit hollow.
 
Anyone notice how the latest shooting in the mall in the US was performed once again in a "gun free zone"? Anyone wonder why it is that criminals choose such places rather than, let's say... a police station?

I suspect if we could somehow kick out the anti freedom folks from our sad government and let EVERYONE in the US carry a weapon openly as our constitution allows... more idiots would think twice about trying to make themselves "famous" by shooting innocent people in gun free zones.

Sigh...

Or we'd have more idiots like you spouting off about their rights. What a dickbrain you are. Have you actually contributed anything re: cycling, or is everything from you bent to your political will?

I like how you can boil everything down to meaninglessness, as if you have some special sociological insight.

I'm gonna send you a bumper sticker for XMax: ****tards for Guns.
 
Dude... it's okay... really.

It isn't quite clear to me why you'd take my comments personally.

Save yourself the postage.

Just plaster a few on your soobaroo and home that say, "Unarmed Moron Inside...Please Rob/Carjack Me".

More accurately, just get the one that says, "I'M A ****ING MORON".
 
Does the US government maintain any law and order or is the duty of every citizen to police one another and subsequently apply summary vigilanty justice?

In Canada we depend on the estasblishment to provide a basic level of social security. I wouldn't trade my right to life for your right to have a gun.

Come to think of it, with every wack job out there able to own one, it's no wonder crime is so rampant. Wow.

Glad you're happy and feel safe in Canada, stay there. I promise that I will not come into Canada with a firearm if you'll promise not to come to the US without one:rolleyes: .

The Supreme Court of The United States of America has ruled that the police have NO...let me repeat that...NO duty to protect ANYONE.

Hence, they stand about with their thumbs up their asses while murderers roam the hallways and malls. After the suicide shot, they'll enter and clear the building as the survivors are rounded up as criminals, with their hands over their heads.

I, and I alone, am responsible for my security and that of my family, not some silly pooftie socialist from canuckistan. A free man stands up for himself while slaves rely on their masters to rescue them from harm.

Che would be so damn proud of you.

Freedom comes at a price. Enjoy your chains and I hope they rest lightly about your ankles.

Those that would trade trade liberty for security deserve neither.

I suppose you may be asking seriously and not trolling. If you try to police someone you'll go to jail for assault with a deadly weapon.
