'Bout Fekkin' Time.

Well, if we follow your logic on the baggy pants issue then you should be all for letting us liberals take your guns away, right?

Do you mind if we call them saggy breeches, ala Shanglan? That makes it all the more ridiculous.

Will do, Jeanne.

In all fairness, did he say he liked the public underwear ban? Thought he just wanted it to be equal for all occations.

I prefer going commando.

I shall remember that.

Sorry, it was the thread title that threw me. Point taken.

Nope. But I'm all for frying the sonovabich that uses a gun to kill someone.

I own a total of 5 guns. They are all competition guns. The only things I shoot are paper, steel plates and bowling pins. All done purely for recreation and all at legal gun clubs. My guns have never drawn blood. ANY kind of blood. Why do you want to take them away?

I didn't say that I did, Dran. I was trying to follow the comparison between fining someone $50 bucks for letting their underwear show and banning automatic assault rifles.

I'm starting to feel a bit like I fell down the rabbit hole, here. I give. Here's my $50, but don't say I didn't warn you that there are no boxers under my pants.

Prove it.

The point I have been trying to illustrate with all of the examples is fairness. Why is one legal but another that is very similar is not?

Context. All about context. And that, I would argue, is as it should be. It's the difference between having four shots of whiskey and walking home and having the same before getting into a car. It's not the action alone that's the issue; it's the context in which it occurs.

She just wants them for herself.

On a serious note, it's a matter of definition. I wouldn't define them as weapons. Yes, they could be used as weapons, but that's not their purpose. "Real" guns (as in things made to shoot people with) are different IMO. I know that makes very little practical sense, but it's a principle of mine where I draw a line that has to be drawn somewhere, or else everyone should be allowed to own nukes.

Now what happens when I tell you that three of my guns are based on the Colt 1911 Gov't model designed for our armed forces?

I'd say it's a pretty macho thing to knock over bowling pins with.



Was it sold as a weapon or as a sport tool? Like I said, my distinction has no practical value.

Bowling pin shooting is a lot tougher than it looks and takes some pretty stout hardware to do it right.

If you're walking home drunk and hit a minivan full of kids head on, no one dies but you.

On the other hand, there's a minivan full of kids who are scarred for life.

Dran,

Try it with a Nine some time. Not as easy as some people think.

(Yeah I'm back, Had to take last night off, things to do, people to see, a table and chairs to finish for the landlord.)

I think I posted a thread about this way back when, only it was a woman trying to ban it here in West Palm Beach. She too was offended by the boxers and thongs showing.

My concept then, as it is now, is this is a foolish law. Didn't the person or persons who proposed this law have anything worse to protest in their communities? Or did they propose this law, and push it through to get the public limelight? (I'm betting on the second.)

Now to this thread, this law banning the exposure of the boxers or thongs, or any other underwear for that matter is, in my most humble opinion, much like the company firing it's employees for smoking.

(Yes I see you in the back of the room waving your hand like a kid needing to use the restroom in elementry school, yeah you with the hat on backwards. I hear you asking but what about the laws banning airline pilots from drinking twenty four hours before flying? Okay, that's a little bit different, it's a safety issue. It has been scientificly proven that alchohol takes twenty four hours to leave the system after drinking just one drink. There's a little thing called impairment there. This might be why you hear about a pilot being grounded from time to time.)

I'm all for not showing the boxers, I don't advertise mine in public. (Thongs I don't mind, except for health reasons. Although the City of West Palm Beach might want to ban them to keep me from denting more lamp posts.) Having said this, I'm not for banning it either.

BTW, The federal government of the United States of America has a law banning certain types of swimming suits. It is illegal to wear thongs, (Both men and women,) in National Parks. You can be fined and/or asked to leave. Oh and it is illegal for women to wear thongs or G-String bathing suits in public, other than at beaches, in both West Palm Beach and Ft. Lauderdale. Something about it being too distracting for drivers. Hmmmmmm, go figure.

I've seen even hot loads in a nine leave 'em spinning on the table. No thanks. I'll just stay with my .45 for that. 185 gr. "flying ashtrays" at 1000 fps removes the pin from the table. And with the two chamber comp. it's pretty damn controllable. My best time was last year, shot a 2.07.

Ummmm.... yeah that goes for me too. Funny I shot that same time last year.

Be careful not to shoot yourself.

Been shootin' 30 years never hit anything I wasn't aiming at.

Would be embarassing if I did though, being an NRA certified Pistol Safety Instructer and all.

You both have had too much rum, haven't you? Damn.

 

[cantdog]

I never see such shit. Leave people the fuck alone to wear what they want to. What the fuck? You wanna play fashion police? Get a Barbie. You can dress her how you like, no complaints.

Jesus's left nut. Where do these people get off?

I left home years ago. You don't get to tell me how to fuckin dress, whether you're going bald or no. Get a fuckin Barbie, get off the street, since it bugs you so much, and leave people be.

 

[BlackShanglan]

But do note that Mattel sued the seller of "Bondage Barbie" (a standard Barbie doll with, shall we say, non-standard attire).

[stingray61]

But you see the difference is, a bathing suit is legal. My boxer shorts arent.

A bikini is legal. A bra and panties is not.

what country do you live in that makes boxers illeagal. I see hillbillies here wearing them all the time and as long as they keep their dick in their pants no-one cares. Same as shorts as long as you can't see through them.
