I would argue his statement is not idiotic at all, but in fact, quite true. But then again, I'm writing this from Canada, where we have very strict gun laws....which results in very low gun violence.

I also agree that no good can come from debating this here....this is a topic where logic steps out and emotion steps in.

For a minute there I thought I clicked on Timco's shooters thread.

Idiotic because you think different? :ah:

Not at all. Idiotic because only idiots think disarming law abiding citizens who aren't committing crimes will keep the bad guys from doing wrong.

Could the problem be my little boy urinating on the Audi, Volvo, VW, and BMW symbols sticker on my spoiler so they only see it when I pass them at 100 or raise it manually at a stop light?

Well, gun control it is.

We are raised (in many states) in this Nation around guns like those in Canada are raised around bagged milk. It becomes the norm, and something that's a part of life. You wouldn't want me telling you after all these years that you can't have bagged milk because some people use it for evil or are not mentally stable enough to own and use bagged milk. What did my bagged milk do to anyone? I have been enjoying it quietly for years with no harm to anyone.

I am the first to admit not everyone is stable or mature enough to own firearms. What is the answer? I can't begin to say. I have my ideas. What I can say is it's not my fault I was born in a country that allows me to be an enthusiast and collect the guns I am interested in. I obey gun laws, am respectful of other shooters, keep them secure, and do believe they are too accessible to bad and mentally ill people. I would rather see some compromise on registration or back ground checks before I see my rights jeopardized by the actions of others.

Having said that, I respect the opinions of the left that some type of action needs to be taken, because it's proving to not be working at the moment. Enforce existing laws. Get criminals off the streets. Bring back the insane asylums. Heck, I don't know.

I though this was a car forum...?
Off-topic discussion or not, take the gun debate to a gun or political forum. That crap has no business here and will only create issues.

Jeebus...

Side note: drinks in bags = weird.

A Chevy Volt LOL electric car drivers. They should use some good old fashioned crude to run there cars and they would feel better.

You have bugs in your fridge? Have you considered maybe cleaning it occasionally?

Had a hillbilly flip me off in a pickup truck cause I passed him. Now I used a blinker and did everything legally. Maybe jealousy. We got to a red light (big 4 lane divided highway) and he barks about me in my "big expensive car". In truth my old 986 I don't think compares in cost to his brand new 2016 f250 king cab with chrome 20s, rails and enough dealer options to probably rock into the 6 figures. And my 97 boxster he thought was more expensive. Awesome day.

Here in Southern California, I've never had anyone flip me off. That might be because I never look at them when passing. Here's an idea: try waving (with your whole hand, not one finger) and smiling, as though they were greeting you warmly. Not that it will change their attitude, but by the time they figure out what to do next, you will be long gone.

The driver who really annoyed me the other day was the SUV driver in the next lane who was wandering to the left until he hit the raised lane marker, then corrected, and drifted to the right until he hit that lane marker. Heavily tinted windows, so I can't prove he was texting while driving, but I stayed well behind him until he got off at the next interchange.

People get too worked up about things on the road. I try not to engage at all with that stuff.

This is very easy to explain being a psychologist for the past 28 years. First, look at their emblem, they stole the copyrighted emblem of Austin Powers. If you review the literature Freud, he wrote about this extensively and coined it as PE. The only treatment I’m aware of for PE is to get a Porsche. It’s so easy to treat, I wish all were so simple.
