Ok. Confiscate the muscle cars, then confiscate the guns. I don't see the problem. (well, I do see a problem, but it's a logical one, not a practical one...)

Yo, Buru!
If your're going to challenge my argument, you can at least present a decent counter-argument - just throwing shit is for pre-pubescent children and people like EP.
The point is that muscle cars serve only the unique requirements of those who have no regard for safe, civil use of public highways, and they generally enjoy endangering and terrorizing those who they should be sharing our roads with as equals. This. makes. that. type. of. vehicle. a. weapon. on. public. highways. Therefore, at very least they should not be legally registered for highway use.
How many people who own assault rifles (many which are non-repeating, but those who make our laws took no time to learn anything about guns before they wiped their dicks on the dotted line) actually carry them loaded on public highways, or loaded in any public places? I doubt those who do obey our laws anyway, and there are other reasons why they should not be at large.
Therefore, I do see a problem, but it's a practical one, not a logical one - fixed it for you.
However, the practical problem of confiscating weapons is no less a practical one, and liable to stir up more violence and death than it's worth. It simply isn't worth triggering our next civil war over.
Quote:addendum: And I still maintain that the correct answer is 'penis size' - the bigger the gun (or the ardor attached to it), the smaller the willy.
Can't disagree with you there in the case of urban gun owners, but not every American lives in your world, and that does not make them either anti-social nor violent. However, this equation holds true with muscle car drivers everywhere on this earth.
Mr. Hanky loves you!
