  • Assault bats, vans, SUVs

    It depends. If you can defend yourself with it, it's "evil".

    I wonder when they will be outlawing all those assult baseball bats.

    They still have not outlawed vans and SUVs, so I doubt it.

    But they tried to do that. The CAFE standards were an attempt. And
    that did kill the old station wagon.

    Then later they tried to tell everyone that buying an SUV was really
    funding terrorism because they used "too much" gas.

    They've attempted to get them as weapons of mass environmental destruction,
    but not as the assault weapons folks around the World have proven them to
    be.

    Ironically, many of the people I know who are either likely to be gun
    control freaks and/or self-proclaimed "environmentalists" drive big SUVs.
    They "need" them 'cause, you know, kids, but other people should have them.
