[QUOTE="soberups, post: 1124712, member: 14668"] If we applied the "logic" of so called assault-weapon bans to cars....then every single vehicle on the road today would be equipped with a governor that cut power to the engine once the vehicle reached the legal speed limit. Who needs a '67 Camaro with a 396 and a 4-barrel carb? That car will do 140 MPH on the freeway, placing the lives of innocent motorists in danger. What about a Harley Davidson that can hit 135 on the freeway and do 0-60 in less than 4 seconds? The only people who [I]need[/I] a bike that powerful are police officers, the rest of them are just a bunch of outlaw bikers and criminals who terrorize innocent people. I know this because I saw it on TV once. Those people are scary and icky and bad and I dont like them so we should just ban those evil high-powered bikes and cars. Law-abiding drivers only need mopeds or scooters or little Geo Metro cars that go the speed limit and no faster. Thats what everyone in Europe has, and they have a much lower accident rate than we do so we should copy their laws. If it will save one child.... [/QUOTE]
