If my pursuit of happiness does not infringe upon yours or anyone else's pursuit of happiness what business is it of yours??

If a ban of semi-automatic weapons is "necessary for the good of society" then why not ban V8 engines....why not ban sports cars....why not ban alcohol... why not ban tobacco...while we are at it, maybe we better ban prescription pain killers... how about all forms of gambling... do we really need gay sex?

Arguing what should or should not be legal based upon what is strictly necessary for the good of society may well be a slippery slope...

Banning anything that can be linked to criminal activity can also be a pretty slippery slope...

Perhaps the concepts of "Do unto others as you would have them do unto you" & "An eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth", are not entirely bad concepts...

i do!
