What parts of the Autobahn have an unrestricted speed limit?
Ah the hallowed Autobahns … yes they are the hallowed pathways for me. I have driven quite a bit in Germany both in heavy city traffic and also on the Autobahns and have also taken a few road-trips in Europe from Germany. And I also drive in the US, and I can’t tell you how much I miss those Autobahns whenever I drive on a highway here in the US.Yes, the stories you have heard are correct. A lot of people have answered this question I see, but I’ll add some of my experiences and views too.Even though the stories you have heard are correct, that isn’t the norm, nor does everybody do it always.First of all Autobahn simply means an expressway or highway. Autobahn in itself doesn’t mean it’ll come with ‘no speed limits’. Rather around 50% or more of the Autobahn network in Germany have speed limits set at different speeds at different sections, also depending on conditions (wet/dry/work zone,etc). The rest of the section does have no set speed limit. But it is advised to maintain a speed of 130km/h (~80mph) in these sections. These sections used to be in more than 50% of the network, but this has gradually reduced. What it means to follow an advised speed limit of 130km/h here is that, if you get into an accident while driving above 130km/h, insurance companies may not cover damages or may give reduced coverage.But apart from that, if you are driving at 150 km/h (~93mph), 200km/h (~124mph), 250km/h(~155mph) or more in these sections, it is perfectly legal and on top of it, ‘safe’. Now the word safe depends on a lot of conditions. From a technical perspective, the way the Autobahns are built, and if you know how to drive, and you are alert and not being a jerk and simply following rules, then yes it is safe.But not every car can easily attain such high speeds and maintain it safely. It also needs a hell lot of concentration to maintain a car at those speeds. It can be draining physically just like how it can quickly drain the gas tank as compared to driving at lower speeds.However, if you have a performance car, speeds close to or more than 250km/h can be easily attainable and maintainable. And honestly you will signNow your destination quicker. I have done it myself. Though you should completely stop thinking about fuel consumption.These days, even normal cars can easily attain speeds above 130km/h and maintain it easily and safely.This is a simple Audi A3 (sport pack) which I was driving and even though the picture above is blurry (my partner was trying to take the pic while I was driving-I do not advise anybody to do this), the speedometer shows close to 210km/h (~130mph). I was able to go to around 215km/h (~133mph) in this. But it was tough gaining that speed and tougher to maintain it. So it wasn’t for long that I held on to that speed. But in all the no speed limit sections I am pretty sure I was mostly above the 130km/h limit.Wherever you see this sign below, you know you can put the pedal to the metal.The most important factor which actually makes these Autobahns safe (safer than in the US) is the rule that you should not be hanging around in the left lane. The left lane should only used for passing (overtaking). So you should always be driving in the middle (if any) or the right lane and changing your lane to the one on the left of the vehicle you are passing and only then follow through. After the deed, get back onto the right lane. Use the turn signals religiously (something which very few drivers in the US do) before changing lanes and be doubly sure that there is no car behind in the left lane before changing over. A Porsche or BMW which may look like a speck in the far distance in your rear view mirror may suddenly loom large the moment you decide to go to the left lane, because they were driving at more than 200km/h. This rule actually makes it sensible to have no speed limit sections on the Autobahns. I can get to Point B from Point A as soon as possible and not be held behind somebody lounging on the left lane with a phone stuck to that person’s ear.An even nicer thing about the Autobahns, or actually city streets too, is that you will find very less cops hiding or sneaking behind bushes trying to speed trap you. Lets say almost no such cops and I never saw one. There are of course speed cameras placed in many places on sections which do have speed limits and of-course in cities/towns. It’s much safer that way than to suddenly have a heart attack seeing blue lights flashing in my rear view mirror and me having to suddenly steer off the road and stop and then wait for the hefty fine.There are sometimes unmarked Polizei (Police) vehicles on Autobahns which may pull you over for speeding on the speed limit zones or for some other infraction. But their method of pulling over is different. They will come from behind without lights, pass you from the left lane (sometimes they do turn on the flashing lights while passing) and then get in front of you and turn on a signal “Folgen bitte - Polizei” (please follow-Police). You follow them to a the next possible exit or parking lot and get your ticket. But such instances are not very common.Another reason it is safe to drive that fast on the Autobahns, and in overall it is safer to drive in Germany, is because they are better drivers than Americans (not talking about exceptions). Germans have to go through a long learning process for driving (around 6 months of driving school or more) and pay more than Eur 2000 and give multiple tests and only then get a license. So they are bound to be better drivers. Though paying that amount of money … umm … yeah not a very good feeling.Enjoy this video. I know its a Ferrari, but even then, take a look at how the traffic is and how he does 330km/h (~205mph):And here’s a pure bred American car on the Autobahn:I love German cars, but I do love my car too (pic below-somewhere near Greenville, SC). And it is still my dream to drive it on the Autobahn one day. Where is the ‘Road to Freedom’!The only place where I could safely drive this in the US above 120mph was in closed race tracks shelling out a good amount of money for the weekend. Can’t really do that everyday!

Have you ever asked someone (who later passed away) to give you proof of an afterlife? For example, a word/gesture that only you
In my late teens and early twenties, my boyfriend would always tell me he was going to die young or live forever. I would tell him to stop saying that because he couldn’t possibly live forever. He would laugh, so unaffected by the thought of dying young. So one night after he’d said it again while we were lying in bed I jabbed him in the ribs. He laughed yelled “ow!” and said what was that for? I told him every time he said it from now on I was going to poke him right between the ribs and make him wish he was dead. He laughed and turned on me, poking me in the ribs where I was most ticklish. He said “alright then, then after I’m good and young and dead I’m going to haunt your ass and jab you every time you annoy me!” This turned into a ridiculous sort of assaulting tickle fight. A night I remember fondly.A few months later, I was 21 and he was 24. We’d spent the day watching movies with my best friend. It was June 22, 2007. A beautiful summer Friday evening. We decided to go be outside somewhere. Enjoy the weather. So we gathered some friends and dogs and skateboards and took off. The first part of the evening was full of laughter and summer sweat. But less than two hours after we left my house, the night was full of screams and too much blood. We had been jumped on an elementary school playground in Baltimore County and in trying to protect me my boyfriend was brutally assaulted in front of me, beaten by three men with baseball bats.The moments between the actual attack and getting to shock trauma are flashes. There’s the flash of me holding his broken body, begging him not to leave me. Flashes of his grip on my hand weakening. His eyes rolling back into his head if I stopped talking to him long enough to scream at the two women who had stopped to call 911, demanding why it was taking so long. There’s the flash of the EMTs arriving, telling me not to let him go yet as they secured his neck. Me begging them to tell me he was going to be okay and their refusal to speak or look at me. Flashes of the wind of the helicopter landing and of him being loaded into it, me falling to the ground so hard my knees bled for days, praying to a god I didn’t even believe in. Flashes of flying down the highway to get to Hopkins. Apparently the entire way I rocked and sobbed “please don’t take him away from me,” though I don’t remember.I was numb and in shock and already experiencing PTSD from what I saw. I was questioned by police, shuffled from waiting room to interview room and back. Numb. Sticky. Staring at the blood on my hands I’d refused to let the firefighters wash off, so afraid they’d be washing him away for good. I sat in a small chair in the waiting area, covered in his vomit and so much blood that had poured from his broken body, namely the large opening in his skull, that it looked like motor oil. Looking back this time is a blur, I have only two clear memories of the wait to go see him. I remember a fly buzzing around the vomit on my knee. Then I remember running people. Crying people. I remember glancing up to see a very famous skateboarder sitting in the chair next me. Tears streaming down his face. I watched the tears for a moment before went back to staring at the fly on my knee.A day later while my boyfriend was in a drug induced coma I learned that at the exact moment my boyfriend was being jumped, Stephen Murray was taking his turn on the Baltimore stop of the BMX Dew Tour. He was flying through the air, attempting a double back flip, turning the wrong way and landing even worse on his neck. He was flown into shock trauma just seconds after my boyfriend. They didn’t know if either man would make it. I spent the next week numbly spending time with Stephen’s at the time wife, who was also named Melissa. We swapped pills we’d been prescribed to try to get through what was happening around us, chain smoked outside and she invited me over for spaghetti to the empty home the Dew Tour had set her up in down the street. I came to know his family and friends. In fact the moment I learned my boyfriend was having part of his skull removed to try to accommodate the swelling in his brain, I stepped off the elevator and there stood Stephen’s mother Cynthia and his brother. She took one look at my face and wrapped me in her arms. Holding me as I sobbed before asking in her unbelievably soothing English accent, “do you have a mum here?” I’ll never forget that woman, that hug or that voice. Warmth I latched onto in that cold sterile hallway.Stephen survived his accident a Quadriplegic and my boyfriend died July 10. Eighteen days after the attack and on my baby brother’s seventeenth birthday. The days after I barely remember. I recall I picked out the clothes he would be buried in but couldn’t go to the funeral. I couldn’t see him in a casket, the hospital had been bad enough. After the funeral many of my friends came to my door to check on me. One of them was one of the kindest most unbelievably genuine people I’d ever know, named Mark. Mark would continue to check on me every day after we the others all faded away, unsure how to talk to or be around me. But not Mark. He texted, called or just showed up for months to make sure I was at bare minimal surviving.Two weeks ago yesterday I stood at the podium at Mark’s viewing, looking down on him in his own casket, sharing that very story. While standing there I mentioned my boyfriend. I mentioned how he and Mark and I spent one summer together. I mentioned how Mark had been there for after the murder and I mentioned that they were together now.After I sat down and began listening to another person share a story about Mark, I thought back to Mark sitting next to me on my front step a month after the murder. He’d shown up at my door and dragged me out into the sun. I began crying that day. Mark jokingly told me to stop being a cry baby that my boyfriend would hate it. At that exact moment I felt Mark jab me between the ribs. I jumped and went to swat his hand away but his hands were in front of him. Mark looked at me funny and asked what was wrong. I told him what my boyfriend had said about poking me in the ribs. Mark laughed his huge laugh from his beautiful shit eating grin and said he totally believed my boyfriend was jabbing me in the ribs for being a cry baby. He’d have done the same thing he said before playfully shoving my shoulder and wrapping an arm around me.Two weeks ago yesterday I sat on a small love seat across from Mark in his casket with my current fiancé, in a room swollen full of young people and I thought back to that moment and I began to sob again. Next to me my fiancé shifted in his seat, my eyes were locked on Mark in his casket, and I felt a jab between my ribs. I flinched and looked to my fiancé, my eyes wide, but he was leaning away from me signNowing for a tissue. I looked back to Mark, remember his big shit eating grin saying of course it was my boyfriend jabbing me in the ribs for being a cry baby, he would do the same thing!And all I could do was smile.

What do you think of this NBC article which calls for the regulation of hate speech?
What do you think of this NBC article which calls for the regulation of hate speech?Opinion | Is the First Amendment too broad? The case for regulating hate speechIt’s idiotic rhetoric.The very first line of the article is “Must we defend Nazis?”Followed immediately by an incredibly disingenuous “For many free speech advocates, the answer is not just ‘yes,’ but ‘hell, yes.’”There is just so much stupid in this article, I’m going to focus on the highlights.They mischaracterize the argument for Free Speech. They put their words in our mouths so that they can argue. “It's precisely because they are so loathed that Nazis must be vigorously defended, the argument goes.” No. We’re not arguing to defend the loathsome, we’re arguing that what is loathsome to one may not be loathsome to all. It is those who are in power who get to determine what constitutes “hate speech”, so before you go banning words that upset you, consider what will happen when the other party is in power and can use those laws you wrote against you. Free speech is valuable precisely because it protects unpopular speech, be that the vitriol of Neo-Nazis or the radical words of Martin Luther King Jr.Then we get this gem. “The best way to preserve lizards is not to preserve hawks” The argument is nonsensical. It is a false analogy, entirely unrelated to the matter at hand, and being deliberately used to dismiss valid arguments.Then, they try to “prove” that hate speech causes real harm. “For example, a John Hopkins study published in 2013 concluded that being exposed to racism can lead to high blood pressure and stress among African Americans.” Well gee, reading this garbage certainly spikes my blood pressure. This article should be banned as hate speech, because it harmed me. Jon Davis just wrote an excellent answer on to this question where he address the difference between harm, as I would use the term, and “harm” as idiot ideologues misuse the term.“Probably the most popular counterargument to regulating speech is the slipper slope argument.” I’m going to take puerile pleasure in pointing out the spelling mistake here. However, it turns out we’re right. Just look at the case of Lindsey Shepard. of Wilfrid Laurier University. She was accused of violating Hate Speech laws in Canada for showing a video to her students by one Jordan Peterson, without first telling them what to think of the video. The slippery slope isn’t hypothetical, it’s happening right now.As I said in Murphy Barrett's answer to Why do conservatives feel the need for a right to hate speech? Can they not keep their feelings to themselves?It’s not the right to hate speech we care about. It’s the right to free speech, of which hate speech is an unfortunate side effect.Free speech is vital to liberty and a free society.Free speech that only protects non-offensive words is about as useful as a solar powered flashlight. When you need it, it doesn’t work.Consider, what is hate speech? Who decides? You? Us? Them? People who prattle on about hate speech seem to always forget that they won’t always be the ones in power. It’s great, when your side gets to decide what is “hateful” based on your values, your limits, and your taboos.But what happens when the other party is in power? What happens when hate speech is based on their values, their limits, and their taboos?Before conceding to the State any power or authority, you must consider first what happens if the other party would use that same power against you.What do you plan to do when hate speech is illegal, but is defined as advocating for the murder of the unborn (abortion), denying the Lord God Almighty (atheism), and sedition (criticizing the US in any way)?Do you still want to ban hate speech?What you call hate speech, as part of free speech, has to be protected. There is no way to write a law that bans “hate speech” and protects “good speech”, apart from personal opinion, and that is no way to write laws. The law must be consistent, and treat people equally, else it is a tyrannical law subject to the whims of the rulers.Neonazis, disgusting swine that they are, must be allowed to march in Skokie so that great men like Martin Luther King Jr. can March on Washington.Look, you don’t have to like what assholes say. You don’t have to give them a soapbox. But you cannot take their own soapbox from them, beat them, fine them, jail them, just for saying things you don’t like. You ignore them, or you prove them wrong.“Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.”-1st Amendment, US Constitution

Has the American left become more openly racist than the right through dividing people into groups and judging them through iden
Unlike others here, I think this is a genuine question which provides an interesting view into the attitudes of some leftists in America. Overall though I’d say yes, to an extent though not just due to identity politics. Here’s a few reasons why:They don’t know what racism is.They incorrectly define racism, and thus are racist without knowing it. Left wing Americans often say that racism must be some form of systematic oppression, and ergo it’s impossible to be racist to white people as the system is in their favour. This is of course incorrect, racism is just the act of discriminating against someone based on their race.The video below is by classical liberal YouTube Sargon of Akkad, a personal favourite of mine. He goes through this incorrect definition by the American left, and criticised them for it.It’s [not] OK to be whiteIn 2017 a number of leaflets were distributed by right wing students, and yes some objectively racist groups. They read ‘it’s OK to be white’. This is of course not a racist message within itself, it is indeed perfectly acceptable to be a white person and people needn't feel any sort of guilt.At a vast number of places the leaflets were removed, seen as an affront to diversity and impeding in the ‘safe space’ that an educational facility should be. And no, I’m not tossing in the word safe space for no reason, it was genuinely said saidA spokesman for a Waterloo Region District School Board commented: "Our schools are safe spaces. We want to see them be safe for all of our children, so to see this kind of thing emerge is a worry."'It's okay to be white' signs posted outside schoolsThese leaflets were aiming to highlight that many on the left opposed what is an innocent statement, one that could be used by any race. The opposition showed that some people do genuinely think that it is not okay to be white. That’s my take on this anyway, and what the leaflets aimed to show.‘White supremacists with a guilty conscience’The above is a quote from Sargon of Akkad (yes, again). Being a classical liberal he argues for a society that’s built on merit, not systematic advantages to anyone, white, black or anything in between.He was called out for this belief by a left winger who stated that in a free society white people would dominate and black people would become victims. This to me, and to Sargon showed that there’s an inherent belief that white people are superior, this is of course a bogus and racist line of thinking. No human is inherently superior or inferior.Go to 28:00 to see this statement. I highly, highly advise you watch this video though as Sargon (on the right) raises a number of brilliant points. And if you disagree then let’s discuss it in the comments, I’m completely happy to do this.Overall yes, the American left has become more racist, and discriminatory in its persist in its odd take on social justice by means of identity politics (grouping people) and intervention rather than meritocracy. I agree with them on many of the things they see as issues in society, but I do not like their methods of solving these issues.As I said, I’m completely happy to discuss things in the comments, please be respectful though. Political discourse is the foundation of democracy, however if you start calling me names or being an idiot then we aren’t going to get along.

If a cop wants to pull me over, but I don't notice that and enter my driveway, open my garage and drive into it, what will the c
This happened to me once.I was driving back from the local grocery store near my house on a one way street. As I approached a stop sign, I noticed the nose of a police car parked on the cross street, tucked behind trees and hedges, but it’s nose was visible, though the rest of the car was hidden. Because I saw it, I came to a deliberate and complete stop, then proceeded through the stop sign.As I drove through the intersection, the police car came speeding up behind me and turned its lights and siren on.Because it was a one way street, with no parking on either side other than stopping in the middle of the road and blocking the street, I proceeded forward a half a block, came to a complete stop at the stop sign and made a right turn, pulling directly into my garage/carport, which was the very first safe place to stop without blocking traffic.At this point the officer in the cop car had his lights and siren blaring, yelling on his loudspeaker and aggressively pulled his cruiser behind me sideways, blocking my car with his like he thought I would try to escape.He yelled at me through his loudspeaker to put my hands where he could see them, then he got out of his car, approached mine with his gun drawn and yelled at me for not stopping a half a block back when he turned his lights on.I calmly reminded him that the California DMV Handbook states when getting stopped by an officer, it is best to pull forward to the first safe place to stop while not blocking the road. He then started yelling at me for entering someones garage/carport. I calmly told him this was the first safe place to stop and I conveniently lived here.He and angrily asked me if I knew why he pulled me over. I told him I had no idea.He said he pulled me over because I failed to come to a complete stop at the stop sign. I politely told him I did come to complete stop.He said, “What you don’t realize, is that I was hiding behind the bushes on the cross street.”I replied, “What you don’t realize is the nose of your car was visible through a hole in the bushes and I saw you before I approached the stop sign, which is why I stopped completely, then waited before going to make sure you saw I came to a complete stop.”At this point his face was bright red and he was fuming back and forth next to my car. He demanded to see my license and registration, which I handed him.He went back to his car, ran checks on me, then angrily came back to my car window and said, “I’m going to write you a warning, but if you do it again in the next thirty days, the fine will be double!”I said, “What do you mean if I do it again? I didn’t do it this time.” He said it was my word against his. I said, “Lets go back to the intersection, I’ll park my car where you were tucked behind the bushes, you approach the intersection and you’ll see there is a hole in the bushes twelve feet before the stop sign where you can see the bumper of any car hidden there. “He angrily told me if I gave him any more lip, he’d give me a ticket and I was welcome to fight him in court.”I accepted the warning ticket.

What are some great Douglas Adams quotes?
Brace yourselves it's a rather lengthy post,there are a lot of great quotes.I just couldn't get my self to stop adding them,“Arthur: If I asked you where the hell we were, would I regret it?Ford: We're safe.Arthur: Oh good.Ford: We're in a small galley cabin in one of the spaceships of the Vogon Constructor Fleet.Arthur: Ah, this is obviously some strange use of the word safe that I wasn't previously aware of.” “Arthur Dent: What happens if I press this button?Ford Prefect: I wouldn't-Arthur Dent: Oh.Ford Prefect: What happened?Arthur Dent: A sign lit up, saying 'Please do not press this button again.” “If there's anything more important than my ego around, I want it caught and shot now.” “There are some people you like immediately, some whom you think you might learn to like in the fullness of time, and some that you simply want to push away from you with a sharp stick.” “A common mistake that people make when trying to design something completely foolproof is to underestimate the ingenuity of complete fools.” “He attacked everything in life with a mix of extraordinary genius and naive incompetence, and it was often difficult to tell which was which.” “He was a dreamer, a thinker, a speculative philosopher... or, as his wife would have it, an idiot.” “Humans are not proud of their ancestors, and rarely invite them round to dinner.” “See first, think later, then test. But always see first. Otherwise you will only see what you were expecting. Most scientists forget that.” “Anything that thinks logically can be fooled by something else that thinks at least as logically as it does.” “One of the things Ford Prefect had always found hardest to understand about humans was their habit of continually stating and repeating the very very obvious.” “Exactly!" said Deep Thought. "So once you do know what the question actually is, you'll know what the answer means.” “42 is a nice number that you can take home and introduce to your family.” “Curiously enough, the only thing that went through the mind of the bowl of petunias as it fell was Oh no, not again. Many people have speculated that if we knew exactly why the bowl of petunias had thought that we would know a lot more about the nature of the Universe than we do now.” “I refuse to answer that question on the grounds that I don't know the answer” “Isn't it enough to see that a garden is beautiful without having to believe that there are fairies at the bottom of it too?” “He hoped and prayed that there wasn't an afterlife. Then he realized there was a contradiction involved here and merely hoped that there wasn't an afterlife.” “Ford!" he said, "there's an infinite number of monkeys outside who want to talk to us about this script for Hamlet they've worked out.” “Human beings, who are almost unique in having the ability to learn from the experience of others, are also remarkable for their apparent disinclination to do so.”“Don't believe anything you read on the net. Except this. Well, including this, I suppose.” “First we thought the PC was a calculator. Then we found out how to turn numbers into letters with ASCII — and we thought it was a typewriter. Then we discovered graphics, and we thought it was a television. With the World Wide Web, we've realized it's a brochure.” “God’s Final Message to His Creation:'We apologize for the inconvenience.”“Grown men, he told himself, in flat contradiction of centuries of accumulated evidence about the way grown men behave, do not behave like this.” “It seemed to me,' said Wonko the Sane, 'that any civilization that had so far lost its head as to need to include a set of detailed instructions for use in a package of toothpicks, was no longer a civilization in which I could live and stay sane.” ,and one of my absolute favorites, “The major problem—one of the major problems, for there are several—one of the many major problems with governing people is that of whom you get to do it; or rather of who manages to get people to let them do it to them. To summarize: it is a well-known fact that those people who must want to rule people are, ipso facto, those least suited to do it. To summarize the summary: anyone who is capable of getting themselves made President should on no account be allowed to do the job.”

Can you buy a machine gun at a gun show as many Democrats are suggesting?
This question unwittingly I believe exposes the problem with the overall gun control debate better than most from both sides. That is we are often talking past each other and not paying attention to each other at all, not to mention that we are entrenched in our points of view and aren’t really having a debate or a discussion.Yes, you can buy and legally own a fully automatic machine gun in the United States. You can even buy one at a gun show, as long as you follow the rules established by Federal and local law. Machine gun ownership is highly regulated and requires an extensive background check. The gun is in a national database and you have to report transportation of the weapon across state lines. There are criminal penalties if you violate the law, which is the National Firearms Act of 1934.The NFA was very successful at getting machine guns out of the hands of criminals and was in fact supported by the National Rifle Association. Sure, there will be the occasional criminal who will violate the law but outside of a Miami Vice episode fully automatic weapons are rare and, when privately owned, in the possession of a law abiding citizen who pays taxes and follows the rules administered by the ATF. The rules are tough but most people accept them as reasonable. The weapons in question are not used in the execution of a crime and can be considered safe and “well regulated.”The so called “anti-gun” position, and for the record you can count me in that group, tends to focus on relatively cosmetic and emotional appeals to gun control. That’s understandable due to the horrors we’ve seen, but things like the assault weapons ban and, here in New York, restrictions on magazines, tended to annoy the more knowledgeable gun enthusiast and lead to a breakdown in dialogue between those who are upset about the carnage and those who have a desire to own and use firearms. There was always going to be some disagreement, but that there is no discussion just compounds the tragedy.The recent events in Las Vegas were horrible. No reasonable person will deny that there needs to be some kind of rational debate and discussion. There will be people on both sides who might disagree with that of course, but if you accept the premise of the NFA in regulating weapons from the Al Capone era you already have a basis for dialogue. The problem is that Las Vegas is an outlier and it doesn’t address most of the actual carnage.Most gun deaths in the United States are not like Las Vegas. We have approximately 33,000 each year. 2/3 of them are suicides. Women firearms deaths are largely from domestic violence. In these cases the good guy with the gun might just be, due to mental illness or uncontrolled anger, actually the bad guy. Then there’s the deaths due to accidents or misuse. Ironically, the gun purchased for self defense is far more dangerous to the owner and their loved ones than it is protection against a violent stranger.To me, as a person who thinks guns should be regulated more rigorously, the questions about bans and appeals to the Second Amendment are distractions. I think the NRA acts like those tobacco companies back in the day that paid doctors to opine on the health benefits of cigarettes or who paid celebrity endorsers to smoke. We have a trade organization representing an unscrupulous group of businessmen who are exploiting our emotions, fears, and yes, our self-image as Americans, to sell a dangerous consumer good and avoid appropriate oversight.These businessmen, like their counterparts in the tobacco industry, would like to sell a large amount of product at a profit that depends on people having an image of themselves and of the world around them that beggars reality. It requires that we buy into it. There isn’t a huge market for the kinds of firearms you use to get a gold medal in the biathlon at the Winter Olympics, nor is there a big enough market for guns used to put meat on the table. Hunting as a sport is shrinking every year and we don’t do particularly well at international shooting competitions considering. The market where there’s money and profit requires that people see themselves in need of a weapon that can be used for self-defense or that mimics the kind of weapon designed and used for war. It’s a market that benefits from minimal regulation and not even the most reasonable requirements for education, insurance or screening. To push this marketing the trade organization paints a picture of a dystopian, dangerous America where you need a gun on you at all times and where you have to be afraid of your government and of strangers when if you want to see the real threat of gun ownership you just have to look in a mirror.So, do I think that we should ban guns? Absolutely not. I think a law abiding adult should be able to own one subject to the law and with a clear understanding of the risks. I also think you should be allowed to enjoy a cigar.I tend to think the Democrats are more often right on the issue, but then I also remember when Republicans like Governor Ronald Reagan were on the forefront of gun control. In the current situation where we are polarized and not talking to each other and each national party in entrenched it’s important to keep in mind that maybe what we really need is to start a discussion and that the consensus we’ve had since 1934 on automatic weapons might be a good place to start. Yes, we can have reasonable gun laws that work for all of us, but maybe we better start looking at the bigger problems, which aren’t what makes the headlines. We can start by having a discussion and respecting each other.
