No, I should have written what I wrote. I didn't say that I thought a person shouldn't be allowed anything at all. I was asking for YOUR reasons why you think a person SHOULD be allowed those things you describe. > there are three parts to this statement, the ornament, the weapon, the > tool. do you think the government should regulate ornamental things > whether they were designed to function as weapons or not?

OK, still nothing by way of rationale for your statement about what should and shouldn't be allowed. > a sword is a very poor weapon for self defense, comparatively. Compared to what? Compared to an ornament of another type? > i have carried a pocket knife or leatherman tool in my car or pocket for > about 20 years and will continue to do so. i won't even try to list the > number of times i have used the knife in aid for myself and others. OK, so there's the utility aspect of a cutting tool. Got it. That's a reason... at least for practical pocket knives. > i have been assaulted a couple times, robbed at gunpoint twice and i > have pursude and captured fleeing criminals but not once have i ever > pulled my knife as an offensive or defensive weapon. OK, so it's not a weapon. (And by the way, what makes you such a target of violent crime? Seems like you've been attacked or threatened more than anyone I've ever known. Perhaps the "culture of fear" you described earlier is a practical response to the horrific world in which you live! Me, I live somewhere much kinder.) > so is my pocket knife a tool or a weapon and do you really think i > should be arrested for carrying it? Again, I'm just trying to find out your rationale for the statement about what a person "should be allowed". So you think pocket knives should be allowed because they're so darn useful. OK. Noted. Now, what about broadswords and maces (which were included in your "should")? > > > up until what seems like the week before last i would carry a 5" > > > schrade on an airplane anywhere in the us. > > > And why'd you do that? > > most probably because i thought it was really weird they would let me. So it was kind of a joke. And if you thought it was so weird then (and never had a real reason), why do you lament the loss now? > i bet there was more than one person on any of those hijacked airplanes > who would have appreciated a 5" schrade. Honestly, I think the real reason those hijackings were so "easy" is that folks have always been told that when they're in such a situation they should just cooperate in any way they can and they will get out safely. The passengers could have been armed to the teeth and they likely wouldn't have done anything to risk the lives of others because if they just complied for a little while everyone would get out safely. No reason to risk your fellow passengers or your own life when it'll all be over soon. Of course, that reasoning is shattered today and never really took into account suicidal aggressors. > and if had ever needed to hijack a plane, it doubles as an excellent > weapon. i was baffled around 1993 by the lack of security around these > massive weapons when i first imagined the commercial airplane as a > terrorist weapon.

Well, one is implementable if rigorously supervised and monitored by the public. Vigilant people could prevent a dangerous policy from being harmful. The other policy (in which items discovered in search are used as evidence against you) goes beyond simple insurance of public safety and into the realm of prosecution and persecution of the public for their associated belongings. If the search isn't directly tied to an evidentiary procedure, there is room for public intervention that could prevent abuse. > > > The culture of fear which you condemned, by the way, is perpetuated by > > > those who carry weapons. > > i disagree. the culture of fear is what has made carrying a pocket knife > a crime in scotland. First, I'd say the culture of fear is perpetuated by the idea that there are armed folks among "us peaceful folks" and the reaction is to ban weapons (rather than, say, encourage adequate social structures that encourage social behavior and mental health and limit poverty, hunger, and drug addiction). So do you actually disagree that the culture of fear is fed when a person, for example, reads that a kid walked into a supermarket with a sword and chopped up some employees and customers around San Diego? Second, I don't know that it was established that pocket knives are illegal to carry in Scotland. Also, we're not familiar enough with the legal traditions and expectations of civil liberty the Scots have and so we're not really suited to judge an individual policy as wrong or misguided. In context, it might work perfectly well because the other bits of the system (rules about who can be searched, for what reason, and what can be done with information obtained during such a search, starting with the most immediate, but by no means the only, related policies). > > > I'm not the sort of person who would support CRIMINALIZING any sort of > > > weapon ownership or carrying, but I sure as hell don't support > > > actually doing it, either. > > that's a direct contradiction and doesn't make any sense.

No, that means it's not OK for anyone, but that doesn't mean a person should be persecuted by the state for doing it. I mean, I don't think it's OK for a person to go out and hold a camp meeting about how awful them asian people are and how "right thinking" people would create a world in which those folks were not welcome and strung up on sight. I think that would be a really bad and stupid thing for ANYBODY to do.

I disagree with your assessment. I believe many societies have existed with trust and respect. I don't know why you'd say the entire world lives in a society without trust and respect. I can assume you're saying that every human being in the world lives within a society without trust and respect, but I think even that is wrong and unsupportable. > i think respect for law and order and for the individual is what a civil > society needs. trust follows respect blindly. it is a result of and not > a required condition of a civil socity. "Law and order" is too often arbitrary and respect for arbitrary systems is contrary to individual judgment and free will. Law as an external force is nothing but coersion; order applied externally, nothing but oppression. Respect for the individual without respect for the society and civil context results immediate contradiction. (What happens when one individual with power is doing harm to an individual without power, for example? Whom do you "respect"?) The required respect must be for the society as a whole and the trust must be in the individuals, individually. Of course, a civil society requires shared goals, at least on the broadest scale. Generally, I would say the most successful goals are going to be maximizing freedom, health, and happiness for all people for all time. That would bring your secondary goals down to your "enablers" like peace, love, and justice and so on down to "say hi to people you see" and "take what you need, use what you take". Anyway, I still don't think I understand why you think a person SHOULD be allowed to mail order a mace and broadsword.

Bruce, Scott, Dave (in drag), and Kevin (Also in drag) are sitting at a picnic table enjoying some food and conversation.] Kevin: ...but when I got my purse back... my wallet was still in it. Bruce: That's great. Dave: You are so lucky! Kevin: Oh, God, if it wasn't for those teenagers, I never would have sobered up. Scott: That was hyster... Bruce: That was a great story. Kevin: Thank you. Dave: Yeah, a terrific story. Bruce: But I think that I may have an even better one. Dave: Oh really, dear. Well you should tell it. Scott: Yeah. Bruce: It was a night just like this one. Lots of atmosphere. But it was no ordinary night. It was the night... the Night of the Cow! [other three look at Bruce extremely interested] [Scene changes to Bruce walking on a country road with a foggy back ground.] Bruce: There was something goin' on. You couldn't taste or hold it in your hands, but it was there. It was there in the way that mist rolled across the fields like... MIST. [animals making noises in the background] Bruce: The animals knew what evening it was. It was the night, the night of the cow. [resolve to a close-up of a cow eating hay] Ingrid was a heifer. She wasn't the smartest cow, or the biggest cow, but she was a cow just the same. Lately, though, she hadn't been "following the herd" the way she use to. [resolve to Mark reaching into a bucket of raw milk and tasting it] Mark: Somethin's wrong with Ingrid. [we see he's talking to a rooster] She's been think' too much. Bruce: Farmer Karl wasn't a bad man, he loved his cows. Up until he killed 'em. [we see a shadow of Mark swinging an axe, then we hear a "moo". Flash back to the four sitting around the table and Kevin is showing much excitement about this last comment.] What he didn't realize was that for some time... [some Ingrid in her stall, looking at a relief map of Europe] Ingrid had been thinking about places beyond the farm. Far away places. How could she die without ever seein' Europe? Kevin: I hear Bali's nice. Scott: SHhhhhhhh! Bruce: But even if the genius Nostradamus himself had been there on that good eve, he couldn't have foreseen the Night of the Cow. See that night Karl was gettin' drunk with his best friend. [resolve to Mark drinkin' shots of whiskey in the bar opposite of a rooster.] Mark: She down at the bar, she mooin'... she's carryin' on... and STUPID stuff. I'm the boss around here! I'm gonna milk her again! [we see Mark coming down the stairs next to Ingrid's stall, but she is not there.] Mark: Okay, what's the scoop, Cow! Bruce: Tonight Ingrid wasn't going to take it. Tonight was here night... [Bruce rises from out of nowhere into the barn and says this line to the camera] THE NIGHT OF THE COW!!!! [resolve to a country road. we see Ingrid walking away from the camera. Now we see Mark in her stall, looking at the map of Europe with his lantern and he realizes that she has run away.] Mark: COW!!!!!!!!!!! [Ingrid is now further down the road and Mark come out and stops in front of the camera] Mark: Come back here, Ingrid! Ingrid: Mooo! Mark: You're not serious! Ingrid: Mooo! Mark: You need me! Bruce: But she wasn't turnin' back. She ran over a one foot ditch. Well it's pretty good for a cow. What she didn't bargain for was a drunk salesman in a 1979 Toyota Corolla. [resolve to Dave sitting in a car as a drunk salesman] Dave: Where the hell am I? [we see a silhouette of Ingrid down the road] Hey, Cow! Get the hell out of the way, Cow. Ingrid: Mooo! Bruce: [back at the picnic table using the salt shake to represent the car and the pepper to represent Ingrid] Cow.. Car. Cow... Car. Cow... Car. Cow.. Car... [we hear tires screeching] Cow... Car. Cow... [he stops abruptly] Scott: He didn't hit her did he? [Bruce reaches over and sprinkles salt onto the steak that Scott is about to eat. They all realize that they are eating Ingrid] Kevin: It's so sad. Dave: What a cow. Scott: What a nonconformist! Bruce: Yeah... That's why I want you guys to know that I'm leaving my job at A.T. & Love. Dave: [shocked at the news] Honey? Bruce: I'm just sick of the business world. Kevin: What are you going to do?
