Re: Fort Hood Soldier flees DPS going 200 mph on motorcycle, while illegally carrying gun

that speed is a physically impossibility for the bike in question I disagree. Assuming a drag coefficient somewhere around .35, which isn't unusual for sport bikes, under the right conditions, it should be able to achieve 200+mph within a few seconds without even cranking the motor on. "rlol&q...

Re: Tax Free 2nd Amendment Items

The poll tax, was a tax you had to pay in order to vote. You don't have to pay a tax in order to exercise your 2nd amendment rights (baring the exception of things like NFA items).

Re: FLAG burning being challenged by Trump

Flag burning should be treated the same as cross burning and political effigy burning. If one is legal the others should be too. I'm flexible on which way it falls, but let's be consistent across the board. In either case, actual speech should be protected by the First Amendment. No hate speech laws...

Re: AG Opinion: May JCs ban licensed carry if children present?

The whole "university president's can make restrictions" thing just muddies the heck out of everything. :iagree: The law should have cut off taxing authority and state funding for any college that chose to deny 1st or 2nd Amendment rights. Letting them get public money while claiming priv...

Re: Mall security and right to physically detain you

Re: Mall security and right to physically detain you

At this point, this thread reminds me of those in power who insist: Show me your papers schweinhund. You paid for your purchases.
