[QUOTE="soberups, post: 1082050, member: 14668"] Bbsam--- Imagine if the government tried to "solve the alcoholism problem" by requiring that beer be sold in 8 ounce cans instead of 12 ouncers, or pounders, or the big 40 oz bottles. You and I both [I]know[/I] what a[I] joke[/I] that would be. I know I would oppose such a law on general principles, even though it wouldnt affect me personally since I dont drink. I would oppose it because the entire premise behind it is absurd, and allowing some politician to take credit for "getting tough" on alcoholism through such an empty and meaningless gesture would be inherently dishonest and counterproductive. Same deal with so-called "assault weapons". I'm not a big "assault weapon" kind of guy, never have been, but I sure as hell dont want some know-nothing politician to tell me I cant have one just because she thinks it looks icky. [/QUOTE]
