Do you realize that the law of the jungle that prevails on our roads should be replaced with rules of the roads, and that all those sharing the road --bikes, motorcycles and cars-- should agree to it?

"John Kane" wrote in message oups.com... Certainly would have been. On the other hand do you really want a bunch of 19 year old students, whooping it up in the local univ bars and carrying all sorts of heavy weaponry when the males get into a strutting contest? Hell, you'd probably lose more people on a normal Saturday night. We're talking about LEGALLY posessed firearms. In order to buy a handgun you have to be at least 21. Also being in possesion of a firearm while intoxicated is against the law where I live and probably is everywhere else as well. |

how your armed citizens would have prevented this particular incident?

Naaaa, guns are fun. Everybody should have one. Regular people should be allowed to carry firearms if they want to--*nothing* ruins a criminal's day faster than an armed victim. ----------- Here's a fun question (totally off-topic for this newsgroup)--narcotics are already illegal in the USA and criminals don't have any problem getting them; what makes you think that declaring guns illegal will get rid of guns? Anti-gun activists are (a few) liars and (the rest) fools. Anyone telling you that they're going to *take* *away* some of your rights to *protect* you is a liar--and if you believe it, you're a fool. Two of the classic high-crime areas in the US are NYC and Washington DC--and both of those places have handgun bans in effect..... Come to think of it, narcotics is illegal in NYC and DC too, and guess what? Fine, let's legalize (or regulate) narcotics. But how your armed citizens would have prevented this particular incident, an armed professor or armed students? Ummm.... they would have shot back ? Just a wild guess ..... This is fine in Switzerland where people are trained in the militias and they take a rifle (not a handgun) home. A full-auto one, I might add :-) And they DO have handguns also. So, you would have no problem with the National Guard here taking their M-16's home, right ? http://www.guncite.com/tpgswiss.html Purchase of handguns is licensed on a "must issue" basis at the cantonal (state) level, with "firearms purchase certificates" issued to all adult residents without criminal records or history of mental illness. There are no restrictions on the carrying of long guns, and only fifteen of the twenty-six cantons require carry permits for handguns (which usually require that "necessity" for carrying the handgun be demonstrated). http://www.guncite.com/swiss_gun_law.html http://www.theblessingsofliberty.com...article11.html "More per capita firepower exists in Switzerland than in any other place in the world, yet it is one of the safest places to be." "While many shoot for sport, all males aged 20 to 42 are required by militia system regulation to keep rifles and/or pistols at home." But America can't even make fine cheese!

You must remember Christ

Last Saturday night I was riding my bicycle around (unarmed), to destinations where I became engaged in more creative and sociable forms of debauchery. You mean you enjoy sociable behavior, which is why you ride a bike, but selfish people in cars (sometimes) make your day miserable. Have you tried wearing horse blinders? I wasn't in anybody's way -- drivers could easily pass me -- but just because I was there on a bicycle, I wouldn't be surprised if I was cussed-out by some drivers for "being in the way." You must remember when riding a bike of how much Christ suffered at the cross. The thought of shooting anybody didn't enter my mind, as per usual. I don't wanna hurt anybody. That's why I ride a bike instead of driving a car. Guns dont' work that way. It's an old, inherited, single-action revolver, with the hammer stupidly sitting on a loaded chamber. Squirt-gun "wars" on bikes can be kinda fun. Especially on hot summer days. Actually, on hot summer days I'm not above requesting people washing their cars on the curbside to give me a squirt from their garden hoses as I ride by, and they often gladly oblige. It's quite refreshing. Especially after a bunch of urban hill climbing, like escaping from New Westminster BC. I see it like a quite an innocent activity, but my concern is that the guy in the car sees you draw, and... |

"donquijote1954" wrote in message ups.com... "should cyclists pack guns" This one does when the situation to need one might exist, and I do it legally. But I'm not crazy and obsessed like Donquijote and would never think about opening fire on a big bad evil SUV. Well, they may not be evil but they can kill you easily and pollute like they are alone in this world. You called that Christian behavior? |

They are driving the monkey to the edge
They are driving the monkey to the edge and there's no way to know
when he can explode... http://i134.photobucket.com/albums/q...hoots20Gun.gif But the smart monkey knows better. The smart monkey shows his cleverness... The monkey knows that the lion is more powerful than him, and knows he better use his own weapons, so he decides to be funny, that being his natural gift. The story goes like this: The Hungry Lion roars: "Monkey, I'm made to eat meat, so you better come down right now." And the monkey replies very cool: "HUNGRY? YOU CAN EAT MY BANANA!"

In countries, such as the U.K. where gun control laws are very strict, they don't have incidents like those at the campus on Monday. Well, actually they do, but not in the quantity that the U.S. has, and they seem to be somewhat less successful, even if the intent was there. There have been incidents in Germany and Scotland and several in Canada. Starting this thread - often initiated by those who like to tell everyone what they will do to this driver or another - is pretty much stupid. Doing it today is what makes it tasteless to boot. Curtis L. Russell Odenton, MD (USA) Just someone on two wheels... I agree it's pretty tasteless, as I pointed out, until all guns are banned and destroyed, these types of events will happen, but until that time comes, control is the key. Ken Yeh, right. Let's only let the Government have them. Where did you get that one, Mein Kampf ? Don't you know any history? The Nazi introduced gun control about 5-6 years after attaining power. They were not particularally worried about a few burgers with guns. They know that the sheep won't use it against the wolf. They may use it against the Black Sheep first. |

We the Cyclists of the United States

Excellent ! He supports the Constitution and fundamental rights now matter HOW much the left-wing nutters would like to ignore those things in their never ending drive to engineer a society more to their own liking ! Of course, you do realise that most people (other than USA citizens) view your Constitution as an amusing anachronism? John Kane, Kingston ON Canada I didn't know it was amusing. A more updated version of it though would start with something like... "We the Cyclists of the United States, ir order to form a more perfect Union, establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common transportation, promote Traffic Laws and get rid of SUVs, etc, etc..." |
