Instead, it's simply those of us that have guns, and enjoy that privilege, explaining to someone that seemed to have drunk a little of the anti-gun crowds juice, that our rights to own the 'toys' of our choice are just as important as someone else's right to own the 'toys' of their choice, like this high HP car.
More so that a car is nothing more than an inanimate object, just like a gun, and it's appearance, HP, etc means no more for the car than a guns appearance or mag capacity means to it. In the end just because a car can run 150, it's the human behind the wheel that makes it do something illegal. By the same token a gun (regardless of how it looks, or what you call it) does nothing on it's own without a human pulling the trigger to make it's actions illegal.
What we are doing, and saying is no different than anyone else on here getting corrected when they say something way off when it comes to a tractor. In the end it all comes down to the simple fact that if someone says something that is wrong, they will continue to harbor the belief that they are right, and continue to do so until they are corrected.
Agree 100% except our guns rights are not a "privilege". They are rights, or are supposed to be, and can only be infringed upon when you do something stupid like become a Felon or engage in other activity that should cause you to become something other than a citizen in good standing. Someplace along the way we lost the concept of basic rights. For instance, the 1st amendments "free speech" clause is aimed squarely at speech of a political nature, not at skin flicks and flipping people off. The "freedom of religion" clause does not mean freedom FROM religion. It means the gov't can neither force or prevent you from practicing a religion if you so choose. Now we have teachers stopping kids from saying "Bless you" when someone sneezes!
This nation is circling the bowl and headed down the pipe.

Today's Featured Article - Product Review: Black Tire Paint - by Staff. I have been fortunate in that two of my tractors have had rear tires that were in great shape when I bought the tractor. My model "H" even had the old style fronts with plenty of tread. My "L" fronts were mismatched Sears Guardsman snow tires, which I promptly tossed. Well, although these tires were in good shape as far as tread was concerned, they looked real sad. All were flat, but new tubes fixed that. In addition to years and years of scuffing and fading, they had paint splattered on
