I take offense with both of these.

Number one, there are jackasses in the left lane who frequently will not move over, even though they're doing ten or more under the speed limit; thus requiring to pass on the right.

Number two, my brother is a lawyer, but he's one of the good ones who actually you know, helps people.

Good call, but I would ban politicians from violating the constitution. If the Bundesverfassungsgericht states a law is unconstitutional the politicians, who voted for that have to leave the Bundestag, Landtag or whatever parliament they are in.

I would ban fascism in the form of bans and regulations. -_-

BTW the second amendment has absolutely NOTHING to do with hunting. The weapons protected by the second amendment are weapons which can be used in the defense of ones self,countrymen, and country, these are namely semi-auto,burst, and fully automatic assault rifles.

I'm surprised no one's mentioned leafblowers. Have you all already been lucky enough to have them banned where you live?

I wouldn't be too hard on people on welfare. The powers that be have a deliberate policy of
1. welfare rates too low to live on
2. not enough jobs to go around no matter how much training and determination you have.
It's so that business has a compliant workforce, desperate for any crummy job that comes along (most of which don't pay enough to make ends meet, either).

I wouldn't necessarily ban cell phones, but I do wish they would enforce the rules about putting them on vibrate so their annoying ring tones wouldn't go off.

People who have pets and don't take care of them.

Come to think of it, there are quite a few towns/cities in Indiana which should be banned. heh I second the loud rap music, trashy clothing, and cheap/crappy stuff.

If guns were banned, the only people who would have them would be the criminals. All the law-abiding citizens would've turned them in. Makes for a bunch of easy targets, doesn't it? I've always been taught "Don't point a gun at anyone unless you're going to kill them." Just think...if some individual had been carrying a gun in the "campus massacre" lecture halls, far fewer people would have died, because that brave hero would've taken the gunman down. Guns don't kill people, people kill people.

BAN SMOKING! It's a drain on the healthcare system! It pollutes the air! It is nasty!

I would also ban gun control everyone can and should be armed. perhaps I could go so far as to say that everyone is provided arms and training on good self defense.


I have no intention of ever owning a gun, much less being forced to undergo "safety" training, thank you very much. Just as you have the right to own one if you're not a felon or mentally unstable, I have the right to choose NOT to own one. And I freely and happily exercise that right.

Also-if it weren't for the "awful" state, people and corporations and schools could run amok without restraint, especially in discriminating against people like us or any other group not in the "mainstream" according to them.

I wouldn't ban guns. But I would ban the number of bullets you could have. Paraphrasing Chris Rock, Tax bullets about $75 a piece. No more gang violence. If a burgler is in your house, or someone is trying to rape or kill you, $75 to kill him is well worth it.

Obviously not having guns was a real plus for a certain group of people in Rwanda in 1994 wasn't it? I'll reiterate, when a would be rapist or murderer is breaking into your house, call the cops, because when seconds count, the Police are only minutes away. Thats a bit optimistic in my area to think that police will arrive before 30 minutes have elapsed. Westernwild you do certainly have the right to determine what is allowed in you home.
