Most people, I think, have no problem with firearms and the personal ownership of them. It is the type of firearm. No one needs a fully auto M-16 or AK-47 to go hunting. I wouldn't go hunting with a pistol either.
It is the multi round pistol and "weapon" variety of firearm, which are on God's green earth to help us kill each other; all too easily accessible to whacko teenagers and young hodlums in training - these are what gun control advocates dislike....
Thought about this for a day. All sorts of facts on firearms, to say the opposite of what has been said, and listing models, and what they do, and what they are for, Instead of the PURPOSEFUL, LYING, by the Press and the Anti Gunners. But the anti gunner, refuses to hear the truth anyway. And only counter with ‘spin’, Made up facts, , from Made up stats, from comparing apples and oranges.
So decided on a different approach, how would you respond to these people?
Someone, does NOT, like Motorcycles. Not at all !!!!!!!”MC’s are all Bad. We don’t need them. They all Make to much Noise.
The people that drive them, are all Criminals. The are Death Machines.
The Drivers think they can go just anywhere on the road,
Like when traffic is stopped, they drive between the cars.
THEY stop, then simply drive through Red Lights, (I’ve Seen Them!)
They Cause Accidents. They make themselves, Purposefully Hard to See.
They don’t pay their fair share on Road Tax like I have to do in my car.
They lie about having Insurance, when they don’t have any.
The Pollute the Air I Breath. They Clog the Streets.
They are Rude, They tailgate, give me the finger, Pass me then slow down.
(On and ON and ON)
Now someone, who, is, ‘moderate’, on MC’s.“Well, certainly you can have a MC. In fact I have one.
But their need to be Rules, because they are Very Un Safe machines.
We have to Protect the Public, from MC’s.
They cause, and have, More accidents than cars/trucks.
The ‘qualification’ for being to drive one, needs to be much more than it is now.
Their is NO Need to have a 1,000 pound, 1,500 CC, 4 cylinder, Motorcycle.
The is no reason to have, what is termed a, “Crash Rocket”.
The, ‘Crash Rocket’, type MC, is very dangerous, and a threat to everyone else, on and off the road.
People driving a, ‘Crash Rocket’, are often rude, and self centered.
Driving to fast, and having a full face helmut on, so no one can see then, when they break the Law, so they can be brought to justus..
Some places, MC, can drive between cars, this practice must stop, because it is far to dangerous.
Only, special, people should be granted that privilege,
and only if they are in a profession, that makes driving like that warranted.
(On and ON, and On)
NOW, defend, YOUR, Position, on driving/owning, a MC !
(Do ya come up with a lot of, ‘half’, truths?
Things that need a explanation, not a, ’Sound Bit’ ?
Things that Just are NOT true ?)
And a note for the, ‘Underwear in a Bunch’, crowd.
Firearms, were NOT, invented for, offense/defense.
(Just like MC’s, were Not invented for Offense/Defense.
Have they been used for Both ? Oh Yea)Firearms were first used by the, Nobles, that could afford them,
for Sport & Hunting.
And used for, DEFENSE, against, things that could hurt them.
(4 leg Mammals & Reptiles)
And only much later, (A VERY Small Amount), used as, weapons.
Last year in the USA, + Make, + Import, - export = 10 MILLION
The armed forces of the USA are about 1.5 Mil & 800 Thou, reserved,
(Army, Marine Corps, Navy, Air Force, and Coast Guard.)
Gee, JUST in ONE Year, in JUST, this Country,
77% of Firearms, were made for CIVILIANS.If you go back to 1776, their have been about 40-50 MILLION, people that have served.
If you went back just 10 Years, over 100 Million, firearms produced and sold in this Country..
(Don’t have enough paper to go back, 240 Years)
So, for the exercise today.
Defend the Position of, ‘WHY”, you should have, be allowed to have, a MC.
When Someone else, says, you should NOT !
