[QUOTE=lowbrass] Now, see - I had no idea that marijuana propelled pieces of lead at high velocity, causing injury when striking living tissue. [/QUOTE] Ah, you haven’t been to Amsterdam. 😉 ---

[QUOTE=Trunk] Do you really want to pick one quote out of my post and make me defend it removed from the context of the whole post? I’m tossing it in with prostitution, seatbelts, marijuana, gambling. . .not murder, theft and vandalism. [/QUOTE] OK. Here’s the whole post. > [@](#): > > If you’re a responsible gun owner, I really don’t see the point in getting a permit to carry your gun around. > > It seems like a lot of hassle. > > Now, if you’re actually worried about getting dragged into court should you have to use it, you sound like someone who should seek out a permit. > > It’s not like not licensing your car just because you’re a responsible driver. In that case, you have a pretty chance of being pulled over at some time. . .headlight out, [etc. > > There’s really nothing else to say. You’re not going to convince me that we need to abide by laws that we think are pointless just because they exist. Nothing about prostitution. Nothing about gambling. Or seatbelts. Or marijuana. You simply say that we need not abide by laws that we deem pointless. Do you wish to retract, qualify, or amend that statement? > [@](#): > > And you somehow believe that “lazy and irresponsible” towards some city code which I deem I can safely disobey automatically implies “lazy and irresponsible” with firearms. I have no idea what you are talking about. Perhaps in your confusion you have mistaken me for someone else. > [@](#): > > It’s like saying that the fact that I run that stop sign near work means that I shouldn’t be handed a small child. Why should you be handed a small child? Why should anyone be handed a small child? I have made it very clear what I am talking baout. Here it is again. _If people are free to ignore whatever laws they choose, there is no point in having laws at all, as they would be unenforceable._ [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/gun-toting-trunk/413132.md?page=5)
