Mr, Compin,
Doesn't California have some pretty strict gun laws? Did they help?
Tragic and sad. So were the deaths of 13 farmworkers killed in a =
California crash Monday, but way off base for the list. This posting has =
nothing to do with MVs. It is a narrow minded poke at anyone you don't =
agree with on the gun control issue. I especially like the way you've =
pieced together statements out of context to make your point. =20
The original point, I believe, was that when government begins to take =
things away it doesn't know when to quit. If we let government take =
things away we are guilty as well. And government is taking away our =
ability pursue our "hobby" with all the restrictions it is placing on =
imports and surplus equipment.
Were you subscribed to the list by an agency just for the purpose of =
stirring up discontent? Are you hoping for a falling out? Is the MVPA on =
the verge of being heard as a united body so it needs to be divided? The =
MVPA should be working unitedly to defend the rights and privileges of the =
MV owners, but if we want our rights and privileges preserved shouldn't we =
step forward when others are threatened?

Breaking News, and another outrage: yet another mass shooting
just happened:
A 40 year-old white man in green fatigues just shot five people
in a Jewish
community center (Museum of Tolerance, of all places...) in
Granada Hills, CA... Flak jackets and militia-type equipment,
UZI and ammo were found
in a red van at the site according to the news... 5 people
fighting for their lives,
including three children!!!

I would respectfully ask my fellow listees to note
under their signature if they are MVPA members or not. It would
help identify the people with whom I (or others) would be
interested in carrying off-list this discussion with...

Now, to all of you out there nostalgics of Waco and Ruby
Ridge...

I want to quote a snippet of dialogue from "EASY RIDER". It's
between Dennis Hopper and Jack Nicholson at their camp site,
after the scene at the diner, and in substance it is:
QUOTE
Nicholson to Hopper: "What you represent to them is freedom"
Hopper: "what's wrong with that?"
Nicholson: "Nothing...but talking about it and being it are two
different things. It's "real hard to be free when you are bought
and sold in the marketplace"...[...]
"But don't ever tell anybody they aren't free because they're
gonna get real busy "killing and maiming to prove to you that
they are... Oh yeah! they're gonna talk to "you, and talk to
you, and talk to you about individual freedom, but they see a
free "individual, it's gonna scare them...It makes them
dangerous"
