>> THINK ABOUT IT. If the gov. steps in and says no to the GZVM then who knows what else theyll be able to stop.

Try building a pool in your backyard without a fence. Maybe you could slaughter goats in your living room. How about renting out a few rooms for prostitutes. Maybe you could park a half a dozens wrecks on your front lawn, or dump your household garbage along the property line.

Ah, forget all that. How about being a real capitalist and hire 2 dozens telemarketers to sell tobacco, alcohol, and ammo out of your garage.

Are you gonna’ stand up for these property rights, or simply stand in opposition to the sensibilities of the Country because it gives you the chance to “speak truth to power”?

Am I speaking to a conservative or Karl Marx? Don't give me the socialist "property is theft" garbage. Yes there are ppl who abuse their property but they have the RIGHT to OWN that property. Just b/c I own a house doesnt mean I'm going to start killing goats in that house and if I do kill goats in that house the state isnt going to take my house away.

Listen, I oppose the GZVM as much as you but private property rights triumph appeals to emotion. IT DOESNT MATTER WHO IS BUILDING THIS the fact remains that whoever owns this property owns it LEGALLY. I'll say it again without private property rights THERE CAN BE NO CAPITALISM. You wouldnt support the gov. telling a church they can't own a piece of land or a building if the church bought it legally SO WHY OPPOSE THE GZVM ON THE SAME ASSUMPTION????? in all of ur examples u use strawmen. I oppose the GZVM on PRINCIPLE but I don't want the gov. getting invovled.

If the gov. gets involved in this then they'll abuse their power like they always do and will take away more and more people's private property rights. THIS IS ABOUT THE VERY SURVIVAL OF CAPITALISM. Re-read Fringe Elements' blog posts on this very topic. I don't like all of his ideas but he has this right. Whether u oppose the GZVM or not u MUST OPPOSE GOV INVOLVEMENT.
