Ph45,

Leaving aside the irrelevant bias of your or my posts: you really mean to say that Jack’s use of ‘this’ or ‘that’ (his ease of use, his ease of acquisition) legitimately depends on what ‘the people’ have to say?

Jack may understand ‘the people’ will certainly try -- by way of the stick called ‘LAW’ (codified and sanctioned force) -- to, in his view, hobble him for the good of ‘the people’, but Jack may fundamentally disagree with ‘the people’s’ (shifty, shifting, capricious) wisdom and do as he can to navigate ‘round ‘the people’.

You might say this makes Jack a criminal.

Jack might say, ‘I’m okay with that.’

Stalemate.

*shrug*

Spexx,

I can’t see how a stop sign (one of several devices for regulating traffic) is in the same ballpark as saying, ‘No, Jack, because a whack of folks have done bad things with this item, you are not allowed to own the same kind of item, or, you must jump through all manner of legal hoops to get this item.’

#

Sam,

The Hebrews have a saying: ‘If you know someone is coming to kill you, get up early and go kill them first.’ Iran, N. Korea, and others have made ‘their’ intentions clear. I say, ‘kill them first’. In any event: if Jack buys a gun, the act (of buying) is not an active threat against any one, so, why should he be penalized for what he ‘might’ do?

“Spexx is gonna get buttfucked in the mouth, then shot.”

I want a DVD of that.

Classic isn't going to shoot me. He already posted that he can "get upstairs to his gun". That's a long way. He's also a responsible gun owner. That means that he has his weapons locked in a gun safe or has trigger locks on them, so those who shpuldn't have access don't have access.

Or maybe he has them out cleaning them and he's just finished the job...and then you knock on the door, after a day of telling him what a dick he is, and he's just had enough.

So he smiles a small smile to himself and thinks about how fate works in mysterious ways as he steadily walks towards the door, knowing the bane of his existence is waiting for him on the other side...

...to be continued...

Oh look, he just got back from the range and it's on his living room table.

If you know he has a gun, you aren't going to his door, unless you're a moron.

Wait! What? Classic has suddenly become a serial killer or maybe a mass murderer? Did somebody find a stock pile of AK47's and vials of ebola virus in his basement?

Gee, he always seemed so quiet and well mannered. Such a nice young man. It's hard to believe. You just can't trust anyone anymore these days.

Thats when you get the baseball bat. After a couple whacks I'll have all the time I need to make coffee.

So you admit that you don't use your gun to protect yourself from home invasion. I accept your apology.

No, I never said it was the first line of my defense.

Feel free to try again, though. You seem to draw some very odd pleasure out of this.

... there's a loud sound, then he looks through the peephole in the door for the person who'd been knocking, the peephole that wasn't there a few moments ago ...

No pleasure. I'm compelled to debunk foolish thinking.

And he killed the UPS man, goes to jail, and anyone who was counting on him for food, clothing, shelter, etc, is fucked.
