If you agreed with it why would you want to change it, clearly you are useing agree instead of obey.

No matter what you think..gun control laws in Japan work....as to mind set...we are a paranoid, well some of us... Funny you should say that, since I am actually in said country right now... However, something you fail to consider (Big surprise here) is that the entire country was disarmed for very different reasons. And, you can't just say "No matter what you think I am right because I say I am right." You absolutely suck at any form of true dialogue. Most of your arguments make no sense, the rest are either "it's so because I say so" and/or the most recent propaganda from whatever your favorite blog that agrees with your stance has to say about it.

quote: ORIGINAL: tazzygirl quote: ORIGINAL: imdoingitagain quote: ORIGINAL: tazzygirl So if a drug smuggler gets caught with a stash in his SUV, he should keep it? If someone sets up a meth lab in their home (gawd, I wouldnt want it after that smell) the government should just let them keep it? Yes, actually. Victimless "crimes" that have no business being illegal in the "Land of the Free." Victimless? You and I have a different definition for that word, obviously. Who is the "victim" of drug use? The use of any substance like that is completely decided by the user. So, no, that is not a "victim" in my eyes. Unless, you don't feel people are responsible for their own actions?

Nosathro -> RE: Disarmament: NY leads the way. (2/6/2013 7:35:33 AM)
I have never held that there is such a thing as a "victimless" crime.

Lucylastic -> RE: Disarmament: NY leads the way. (2/6/2013 7:44:51 AM)
I think it needs clarifying, before he gets laughed out of the fora. Because drug use is certainly nowhere near a victimless crime a dumb assumption, unless the semantics/context are put forward in an understandable manner. a victim of drug use, would be anyone who is affected negatively by the user of the drug use ...a result of addiction to said drug, anyone harmed by the manufacture of the said drug, or anyone who is hurt/mentally or physcially as a result of being drugged without consent, families, co workers, friends, LEOs, who have to deal with said drug user. Maybe the poster was being facetious or being singularly myopic. And doesnt understand addiction, or OD, theft, self destruction doesnt happen in a vaccuum in 99% of cases etc

marijuana, is the exception to the rule, scuse me, but you picked the softest least "harmless"drug out there, which is very intellectually easy to dismiss, in place of something such as meth, coke, ice, opium, etc etc etc, most of us know that marijuana is less harmful than alcohol coffee and prescription drugs, please dont be so dismissive of the harm done by harder drugs. People are hurt by the effects of people using/on/manufacture drugs all the time...therefore, NOT victimless.BY any standard.

People are hurt by the effects of people using/on/manufacture drugs all the time...therefore, NOT victimless.BY any standard. It's an extreme example used simple to make a point. But, honestly, why should it be any different than a guy snorting coke in the privacy of his own home, not harming anyone else? Again, like I said, you are speaking of other crimes which there are already laws for. Honestly, by that reasoning, alcohol should be illegal, too since people are "hurt by the effects" as well. I'm sure that I'm not explaining this as fully as I could but I think most of the people here are intelligent enough to understand what I am saying.

Powergamz1 -> RE: Disarmament: NY leads the way. (2/6/2013 10:35:13 AM)
Crimes against public order, or 'victimless crimes' have a standard definition, using the concept of direct harm vs. indirect. Semantics and sophistry aside of course. Violation of law in which there is no other person (aside from the offender) victimized, such as drug-taking or illegal gambling. http://sociology.socialsciencedictionary.com/Sociology-Dictionary/VICTIMLESS_CRIME quote: ORIGINAL: Lucylastic I think it needs clarifying, before he gets laughed out of the fora.

Nope the California Vehicle Code and Penal Code are two seperate things...a violation of the Vehicle the worst is a small fine, points against you, no jail or prison, does not go on a persons criminal record, does not count as an arrest. You appear before a Magistrate not a judge, the Magistrate can be a lawyer, or even a Parole Officer. Where as a violaton of the Penal, an arrest record, criminal record, judge, jury, jail, prison, etc. All laws are created in the best interests of people, at least that is the theory. So you are supporting anarchy?

On this forced buyback. who determins what the guns are worth? There is a big difference in price depending on condition, rarity, etc. One thing for sure. When you make something illegal like drugs, or anything, you make it more valuable to individuals interested in buying them.

The current Constitutional Monarchy of Japan was form in 1947, it is soveign and makes it own laws, it could have made more liberal gun laws but by it's own choice it did otherwise. Japan does have privately owned weapons but the restriction are strictly enforced. Japan also has a weapons manufacture Howa, Miroku Corp. and Sumitomo Machinery Co.(Howa and Miroku make both military and personal weapons) http://www.theatlantic.com/international/archive/2012/07/a-land-without-guns-how-japan-has-virtually-eliminated-shooting-deaths/260189/ Actually you the one who fails to get anything...but megalomanics are in their own little world. Further please show where I have said "No matter what you think I am right because I say I am right" and "it's so because I say so"

The main difference is sociological do the Japanese also have baseball bat control because our murder rate with bats exceeds the Japanese murder rate. If they don't it is apples and cement blocks (oranges are too close a comparison).

You right something has to done about the gun culture in the US....I think medications that treat paranoia will do nicely. Then again frontal lobotomies always had good results.[sm=smile.gif]
