Piers Morgan losing it again

Quote from Maverick74:

Actually the authors of the book Freakonomics point out that locking your house door and locking your car door does not reduce the odds of someone breaking in your home or your car. Thieves steal the cars they WANT, not the cars with the doors unlocked. Same with houses.

Do you really believe that crap about locking your doors?
Do you lock your car and house ?
 
Quote from Maverick74:

You get paid to "lend" money Ricter, not borrow it. LOL.
Lol all you want, you are not getting it. Investors are loaning us, e.g., $1000 today and asking, in real effect, for $990 back ten years from now

Don't own a car and believe it or not, I don't lock my apartment.

I should point out I live in a doorman building.
 
Quote from Brass:

Well, then, I'm convinced. You know what to do. Leave the car unlocked and the keys inside. And if they're going to do it anyway, why bother with ineffectual legislation as well? It's all about streamlining the process so that people can then get on with their day.

Brass, come on now, you are just being difficult. Here is a better analogy, is it better for us to determine on our own if we want to lock our car doors or have the government impose fines on us if we leave our cars unlocked?

Brass, do you support the war on drugs yes or no?
 
Just curious if any of you gun control folks believe in our drug laws. You know the laws we have on the books that are suppose to stop people from using illegal drugs. I eagerly await all the responses from the left.

I will not address that analogy because it is a non sequitur in the context you propose. If you're not willing to make the mental effort to draw a proper parallel with the car analogy, then I won't waste my time either.

As for the war on drugs, yes I support it. However, not in the manner it is being addressed. I don't wish to discuss that particular war, however, because I have already done so repeatedly in the past and have no desire to repeat myself.
 
We need more guns, not less. Whether you liberals agree with it or not, it's our 2nd Amendment Right to keep and bear arms. The entire purpose of the 2nd Amendment was written as the final and last check on tyrannical Government. It ain't for hunting, folks.

My point about bringing up the war on drugs was to demonstrate that laws cannot stop people from purchasing and using illegal drugs. Sure, it will stop and be effective in trivial cases. The same is true with guns. But if someone REALLY wants a gun and really wants to buy some drugs, no law is going to stop them. The laws are simply making it more profitable for the dealers, both gun and drug.
