You know what......You also don't need freedom of religion to buy a cup of coffee or a cheeseburger either. Nor do you require freedom from unreasonable search and seizure to buy a cup of coffee or a cheeseburger. It is not necessary to have freedom from self incrimination to buy a cup of coffee or a cheeseburger. Now in light of a logical examination of the Assemblyman's argument does anyone believe it is a valid argument?

"Borte is now fighting for blow darts to be banned, arguing there's no reason for something that can cause such havoc to be sold." Hey what else can I cause intense havoc with......What do you think I could do with a pencil? A kitchen knife?, a baseball bat? or Truck?, a car? , length of steel pipe? So your going to ban all of the above because of what PEOPLE could do with them?

You MUST support ALL rights even the ones you don't like. Tue, 12 Jan 2010 16:29:36 +0000 http://www.bakersfieldnow.com/news/local/81193567.html#IDComment51699006
