My point wasn't about guns... but I guess that's what I get.
The point is, everyone wants what they want and they expect the Federal government to enforce it, regardless of whether it infringes on someone else's rights.
Noone seems to be willing to bend to what the community desires and has voted for.
Then you have small minorities that make threats and have lawyers and goverment acquiesces and everyone complains but noone does anything.
SF = voters want guns banned.... yet people in N. carolina, Ohio, wherever who do not live there are crying foul.
If a community votes pro-life and bans abortion same thing....
Since when did we make the Federal government our moral conscience. Each community is different and the people who live there know best what suits them. Or the minority to threaten lawsuits?
That was my point. If SF voted against guns and you don't like it.... fucking MOVE.
If the state of Alabama chooses to ban abortion fucking drive across state lines to a state where it is legal. If the owner of an establishment chooses for you to not carry a weapon on his private property..... fucking don't shop there. If the judge in court wishes to hang the 10 Commandments..... so what? Who does it hurt? Don't read them.
The wanting of special interests and the lobbyists isn't what is wrong it's that there are 300 million (give or take) that all want to be heard and all demand what they want and don't care about what is reasonable or truly best for society. Although they all want to believe they know what is best and they all want to believe that they are doing what is best.
If the school wants to put on the Crucible.... let them... noone is forcing your kid to go, noone is even forcing your kid to care. But by taking it away the right to have it, you destroy everyone's choice. And that is what has been happening and the majority for whatever reason has kept allowing it.
People need to wake up and fight back.
Of course this thread is a perfect example.... instead of intelligent debate or asking what I truly meant, the above read what they did, got offended and decided not to truly read what was said, or ask what the intent was.

I just love people who use the excuse "I use/do this because I LOVE the feeling/joy/happiness it brings me" and expect you to be ok with that as you watch them destroy their life blindly following. My response is, "I like to put forks in an eletrical socket, just LOVE that feeling, can't ever get enough of it, so will you let me put this copper fork in that electric socket?"
