Re: This Liberal and guns-
Publius — (archived)

I think you have something there Tom.

You say, >"....see sports cars, as a kind of art form, and love comparing features, I see them as tools, like a hammer or a power drill, and am primarily interested in whether it can do the intended job."

I have had a Mercedes, a Porshe, a Corvette, an XKE Jaguar, and a Maserati. Cars are definitely not utilitarian to me. If it is a conservative trait to equate the sports car with a power-drill--I could never be a Republican.

You further say, >"Most famous liberals have no problems with guns in their own hands, or typically in the hands of their bodyguards. It's guns in the hands of people they disagree with that bothers them."

You bet your sweet ass. I don't know about the "famous" part, but if I see a gun in ANYONE'S hands it bothers me to the point of exacerbating the rise to lethal on my force matrix.

If you are law enforcement, you better not have that weapon in your hands unless you are planning to use it and have damn good reason and cause for doing so.

Remember I said a long time ago, it isn't always easy to be liberal!
