Doryman, we don't care who you hate, conservative, liberal, whatever, and iamcanadian does not need you to tell him how to post. Get back on topic, there is already a racism thread. Post your deep thoughts there.
But we all care who you, Reverend Blair and others hate. Understood. And my post on institutionalized racism was to educate Reverend Blair on why racial profiling is used. In some cases it is pure racism, yes, but in many it is simply a logical approach to the problem. To tell you the truth, I'd rather have enough police to check everyone out, but so it goes.
And race wasn't brought into this thread by me, Peapod. Try to remember that.
"Almost funny! How about testing your gun on yourself see if it hurts" Cubic quote.
... ? Cubic, what does this have to do with the legality of owning a gun? Yes, using a gun on oneself will hurt. So will using a powersaw. That was just a childish response to you being proven wrong. Grow up.
The handgun law may be popular and will probably be passed. That's step in the right direction to ending gun crimes, but it'll end only a small number of deaths ( those by accidental discharge, kids screwing around with daddy's magnum, whatever.) The majority of gun deaths are through gang warfare and criminal activities, and since these guns are already illegal, making them MORE illegal won't do that much, will it?
