EDITOR: New York City has outlawed the sale of 32-ounce soft drinks at restaurants. The plan, I guess, is to restrict a choice and reduce obesity. A person who wishes to drink a quart of soda can just buy two 16-ounce sodas and easily subvert the government's strong-arm tactics.
I have a tough time swallowing this kind of government control that restricts freedom. It is similar to the people on the left who wish the words "assault rifle" could be done away with. The fact that 12-gauge semi-automatic shotguns can create more carnage and semi-automatic deer rifles are far more accurate is ignored.
Myself, I have decided to let the words "assault rifle" be the target of false hope, because it will help some feel good about their efforts. I therefore declare from hence forth the "assault rifle" will forever be called by me a "second-rate garbage gun," a label more befitting. Next, we can get after the words "semi-automatic."
Beware, however, that as laws change those pesky humans also change their behavior and work around them - as in the case of the New York soft drink ban. I don't think suicidal maniacs pay attention to laws, but I have heard these cowards planning mass shootings don't usually pick areas where people may be armed.
