In the case of what we should be free to do, this country is founded on the idea that "You should be able to do anything EXCEPT - X, Y, Z". Exceptions that we agree as a society benefit us to outlaw. This is the opposite of "You can ONLY DO - X, Y, Z". We start with and prioritize Freedom and make necessary exceptions, not the other way around. So if you are trying to add another exception to the things we are allowed to do, you need to justify why you believe we should have less freedom. That is the Burden I'm speaking of. It's not on us to justify why we should be allowed to. It's on you to justify why we shouldn't. That is why the question "why do you need this?" isn't a valid one. You mention you're open to other ideas. I think anyone with an open mind is. But being open to other ideas doesn't mean we are going to implement them without proper justification. If I'm sick, I may be open to any treatment which can cure me. But I have to be cautious not to act out of desperation and not to try anything that anyone hands me. I have a limitless number of things I could try ranging from raw food diets to blood letting to homeopathy. Do we try them all? Do we only try a few? If so, how do we decide which few we try? If you propose a solution, you need to demonstrate to me how it will be effective. I'm not just going to fill my body with random trash or perform random procedures in a desperate effort to get better.

Every law that has ever been created took away some freedoms and now we have thousands of them. Where in the process of creating these laws is it required that one side prove that the law will work or make things better? Obamacare is a new law (not saying I agree with it) that many don't like, the law was created, it removed freedoms, did they prove the law will make things better? Many don't believe they did. As long as the legislative process is followed I don't see where any proof of anything is required. With any issue or decision made (personally or professionally), most look at the facts, look at the options, and then take then take the option they think is best. There is no proof needed to change what you currently do.

I know you admitted to not fully reading my post, which is unfortunate. My car analogy spelled out why asking "why do you need this" is a poor question to ask. Quote:
If you think we should ban 15 rnd magazines (or whatever it was you suggested), justify why we should. Asking us "do we really need them?" is as useless a question as asking "do we really need 300hp cars?". The answer to both is no. And neither of those answers is a good reason to make either illegal. Get it?

Every belief I hold, I can justify. But my justification for it might be poor or based off of incorrect information. If you have a belief that's different than mine and your justification is better than mine, I will absolutely change my mind. It might not be instantaneous but that is how you change people's minds in reasoned dialogue. You don't throw up your hands and go "well I don't have to justify my beliefs to you and we won't change our minds anyway". If you do, you are admitting that you are unreasonable (don't have to justify your beliefs) and implying that you think we are both closed minded (we won't change our minds anyway).

No tree on our property high enough to hang this deviant, should be interesting to see what courts can do to put him where he belongs; sad thing is that taxpayers money bought him breakfast, lunch and dinner eveyday for the last 2 years

Jury selection started today.
Anyone wishing to follow this trial can find the latest updates on the Yancy Noll Memorial page on Facebook. I won't be posting any more updates on this case except possibly the verdict when the trial is over.

Guilty!
A verdict was reached last week in the trial of Dinh Bowman. The prosecutor's case was based on this being a "thrill killing" and presented evidence that Bowman had deliberately planned to murder a total stranger. Lots of documents to that effect were found on his computer and presented in court. The jurors deliberated less than a day and convicted Bowman of First Degree Murder. Sentencing will take place next month. The charge carries a sentence of 25-35 years (accounts vary on the sentence range).
Hours after the verdict Bowman attempted suicide by slitting both of his wrists with a razor. He was not successful. The fate of his Z4 M Roadster, from which he fired the fatal shots at Yancy Noll, striking him in the head three times while he was stopped at a red light, are unknown.

Too bad the judge didn't give the guy the option of facing the family and friends of the victim as an alternative to incarceration. Now THAT woud be justice.

Apparently Bowman tried to kill himself with a razor after the conviction.

On Friday, February 27, CBS's 48 Hours aired an episode about the Yancy Noll murder titled "A Student of Murder". Unfortunately, I missed the original airing because I didn't know it was going to be on. Fortunately, it is available to stream online at the CBS/48 Hours website. It's also available On Demand on DirecTV and is available there until 4/1, however, it's not in HD, and you can't skip the commercials.
It was one thing to follow this case through the media at the time, but quite another to see how the prosecution accumulated all of their evidence (although 48 hours didn't cover some of it), and to actually see footage of this sociopathic scumbag at his trial, and particularly at his sentencing. The recordings of his jail house conversations with his (now) ex-wife were particularly disturbing. Narcissistic personality disorder for sure with a severely distorted view of reality (much like another high-profile personality currently in the media). From time to time after the trial I would try to find out why Jennifer Bowman (now Jennifer Alexander) was never charged with aiding and abetting Dinh Bowman, but now I know why. A bad decision by the prosecutor to be sure. Aside from the cold-blooded murder, it was sad to see Bowman's Z4 M Roadster languishing in a police warehouse, gathering dust, with the top still down no less. It was absolutely instrumental in police finding and prosecuting Bowman; of all the cars to use in such a public murder, with witnesses! If he had used a Camry, he may never have been found, but then I never would have had any interest in the case in the first place. There's a lot of comments on the 48 Hours Facebook page if you're interested. The first post about the broadcast is on February 27 at 2:07 PM. Most of the comments are on the posts dated February 28, the day after this was broadcast. And last, but not least, here is the Yancy Noll Memorial page on Facebook.

I assume they were just trying to be dramatic, but it was pretty laughable when the woman made the comment about needing to "shoot someone through the window of your very fancy sports car". What difference does it make what you are driving if you are shooting through the window? They seemed to make a big deal out of the fact he drove a fancy BMW. Amazing how much animosity driving a nice car creates.

Yeah, I agree! I think it goes to the perception that Bowman was a privileged, relatively well-off (wife made $250,000/yr.) individual who seemingly had everything he wanted/needed, so that the modest sports car that he drove became a "very fancy sports car" just to emphasis that point. It's not like it was a Ferrari, Lamborghini, or some other exotic sports car. It also goes to the general public perception that BMW drivers are douche bags. I almost expected her to say "very fancy BMW sports car". Good thing they didn't have the knowledge about this particular car to emphasize that it was an M model, the fastest, most powerful, and most expensive model of an already "very fancy sports car".
Another thing related to Bowman's Z4 M Roadster that was pretty laughable was the witness who claimed that the car just took off, "zero to 60 in like, 2 to 3 seconds". Obviously knows nothing about cars.

This article was posted last month about Dinh Bowman's wife, the former Jennifer Bowman, his after-the-fact accomplice, who was never charged, and who has since changed her name:
https://thecinemaholic.com/where-is-...er-bowman-now/ Here's another article that I found from 2017, Dinh Bowman's appeal: https://www.courts.wa.gov/opinions/pdf/730690.pdf
