Why is it considered punishment to limit the number of guns and

that are owned by the public?

What would be the point?

Is it punishment that I want to own a tank with the capacity to
shell

an area of the desert that wouldn't be affected by my hobby? Why

can't I own surface to air missles so that I can shoot down my own

drones? Why can't I own a mortar setup so I can play with it
when I

want to?

Why am I being punished?

That is a red herring, those things have been illegal for 50 years

I wonder what would happen with the suicide stats if guns were

incapable of shooting the person holding them. Would they find

another way? What percentage? Should we make other, less violent

methods available to suicidal persons?

The lack of guns has not affected the suicide rate in Japan, one of

the left's favorite example of gun control.

Lastly, what do you suppose the percentages of young people
(let's say

under 20) that die in gun related homicides or suicides vs all
those

other maladies? I'm sure a lot die in car accidents but all those

stats above? Not so many.

The ratio of young people who die in cars is pretty close to guns.

Maybe we should ban any car that goes over 70 MPH, put mandatory

breatholizers on the ignition and keep them from running if the seat

belts are not fastened. (they actually tried that in 1974)

That might save more people than banning guns.

Might not be a bad idea...doesn't seem sensible to put autos on
the road capable of double the legal speed...or more.

Some kind of limiter could keep speed down to 75 or so while not
limiting towing capacity.

What's the towing capacity of your Rav 4?

If it's a 2009 with a v6, and he's really full of bravado, he can
tow 2000lbs. That doesn't mean he

can *stop* it though.

Salmonbait

I don't think he has the gutsy V6 His new boat is 3 times the

princecraft. It's hard to believe he can tow that hefty boat with that

pyrite gray devil of a rave 4.

Actually, it's closer to 4X, StinkyOne.
BTW it's pyrite mica... that would be a very pleasing dark bronze when
the sun is shinning.

Didn't realize that the old boat was only 240 lbs You must have got 2
footitis and moved all the way up to 16 feets. Lessee 850 lbs for the
boat. 200 lbs for the engine. 500 lbs for the trlr. 200 lbs of gear and
batteries and you are a tad overloaded. It's not a matter of the engine
pulling it. But , CAN YOU STOP on a moderate downgrade with the car
loaded up with passengers and more gear. I think John already cautioned
you about that.

Assholes like him don't give a **** about "your" family. They always
justify it with **** like "I only tow a little way", etc... In reality
they are just selfish assholes, but you knew that.

Oh, now Scotty all of a sudden worries about "family". The guy who had
his daughter watch while he typed about sucking dicks, then when someone
says something doing that, says, "she already knows all about it". The
guy who is too lazy to get a real job and provide for said "family",
along with things like health insurance, etc. The one who condones
smoking roll your own cigarettes even after BOTH have had cancer.
