  Re: This is incredible!
 
(...) in (...) This is a good point. These days, within society as a whole, people are too concerned about staying within the law (often just within the law). I think one can be inside the law - but still be morally wrong. If "thinking people", as (...) (24 years ago, 15-May-00, to lugnet.off-topic.debate)
 
  Re: This is incredible!
 
(...) I've got just one comment here: A trademark owner is obligated to pursue situations like this or they could lose their trademark. That perhaps doesn't justify the discussion which is going on here, but that's beside the point. Note also that (...) (24 years ago, 15-May-00, to lugnet.general, lugnet.off-topic.debate)

(...) not (...) purchase. (...) OK, OK, OK. You've convinced me. There is no way to compromise on this issue. The gun-control advocates will have to be the first against the wall when the revolution comes. Chris. (24 years ago, 14-May-00, to lugnet.off-topic.debate)
 
  Re: Million Mom March
 
(...) I think that a strict reading of the 2nd goes against background checks entirely. It doesn't say "The right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed, unless they don't think the same way that you do." (...) I think the first (...)

  Re: Million Mom March
 
(...) Not only that; in the Big Brother world you envision, they would no doubt make a note of your presence in a gun shop, whether or not you made a purchase. And in any case, if the function of this card were to clear you for gun purchases, they (...) (24 years ago, 14-May-00, to lugnet.off-topic.debate)

  Re: Million Mom March
 
(...) I guess that could be part of it, but my main thought was that the organization issuing the license would need to be sufficiently recognized as having good requirements, but maybe that's unworkable without something very specific. Of course (...) (24 years ago, 14-May-00, to lugnet.off-topic.debate)
 
  Re: Million Mom March
 
(...) Well, whenever anyone trots out the "but there are loonies out there with guns who shoot people" I trot out the example of the Texas McD massacre in which one victim, who lost her father or brother, I forget, but who got off scot free, said (...)

  Re: Million Mom March
 
(...) I'm not sure, but is what you are envisioning, like firearms rights insurance? Where the licensing authority would be liable for misuse of the firearms by holders of their license? (...) Do you mean at the time of purchase? Presumably the (...) (24 years ago, 13-May-00, to lugnet.off-topic.debate)
 
  Re: Million Mom March

Since it's for a limited time - say two months - it just affirms my right to purchase arms, and a dealer of arms would be able to sell to me without verifying anything. I (...)
