    Brian Aitken Freed!

    I really thought the governor would give Brian a FULL PARDON. It's good that he's out of prison, but as some have eluded to here, he won't be able to own a firearm legally anywhere in the US anymore. Is there a way for him to appeal the ban on his ownership of firarms, or will he be banned from...

    I think some people need to calm down

    When all it takes is for a single member swing in the Supreme Court to CHANGE HOW THE COURT INTERPRETS THE 2nd AMENDMENT, we should all be a "little paranoid". We are only one vote away from losing it all.

    Question about Sgt. York's actions

    Supposedly it was all about the angle from York's perspective and the way the Germans were lined up. But like I said, I never met my great uncle and I too have some questions about how it could have happened like that. As I said, We all know how family legends go...They seem to grow and if you...

    How likely is civil discussion to occur here on THR with anti-gunners?

    The terms "over the top" and "rambo types" has already been used in this thread so my reference to those terms is not something I just did for the first time here. I don't recall any threads I started being locked, however I have been posting to a few that ended up locked. I sometimes feel...

    Question about Sgt. York's actions

    I don't know how true this actually is, but my father had an uncle who actually served with York in the battle in question. The word was that the Germans who York was shooting at were facing the troops York was with and York had circled around BEHIND the Germans. When he started to shoot, he...

    I don't understand the rash of .380 pistols today.

    I got into a similar discussion in another thread, I believe it was on this forum regarding the effectiveness of my little 2 shot .45/.410 Texas Defender. Almost everyone who posted on that thread seemed to be obsessed with killing the attacker. So they were all trying to explain why my choice...

    Did the Founding Fathers intend…

    I think we're finally getting to the real essence of the issue here. What is the accepted definition of "Arms"? Many here have used the term "Arms" in recent posts as to mean something used by an individual not by an Army or a Government. I would never argue against ANY FIREARM that can be used...

    I don't understand the rash of .380 pistols today.

    I like rcmodel's thoughts in post #14. Nobody says you only get to take one shot. But more than that, I took from his post that he is of the mindset that most of us are only going to have to face one attacker. That is the case most of the time. In that case a .380 magazine into a BG's chest will...

    Judge Joe Brown and CCW

    I'm not sure I buy the "I was just channel surfing" :rolleyes: statements either. C'mon guys we all watch these shows sometimes...probably just for a laugh, but we DO watch them sometimes ON PURPOSE. :D I'm actually more surprised that the network allowed Judge Joe's pro-gun statements on the...

    If you could rewrite the 2nd Amendment, how would you word it?

    I would not change the actual wording of the amendment. I would however, add a subjection that included the personal writings and public statements of those who wrote it. I would do this to clerify THEIR intent as to its meaning. There is plenty of information available in their personal...

    Did the Founding Fathers intend…

    Where does it end guys? As far as the level of destruction an individual should be entrusted with? An Abrams tank? A fully armed F-15? An Aricraft Carrier if one could afford it? His own personal Nuclear Warhead? As much as I'm in agreement about an individual owning ANY military PERSONAL...

    Did the Founding Fathers intend…

    Posted by awgrizzly If this does NOT happen soon, we are all lost. I see on the news now that they are actually working toward more reductions to Social Security and Medicare, (both insurance policies we have all paid into for our entire working lives) in order to reduce the federal deficit...

    Did the Founding Fathers intend…

    I know this is a long comment, but please bear with me guys. This is my next post on my blog at www.gatewaychaplaintom.wordpress.com. I’m posting it here first. Please point out any shortcomings in the thoughts I have expressed below. I respect and trust your opinions. IMO, the 2nd amendment...

    Did the Founding Fathers intend…

    The FF's were pretty smart characters. They were visionarys. At least one of them was a pretty famous inventor. Ben Franklin was bringing new technology to the people on a regular basis. There were even some who were gun smiths. At the time our founding documents were being written, there were...

    Did the Founding Fathers intend…

    I don't believe the amendments to the Constitution should be changed simply because our society has changed. Nor should we amend the Constitution based on the declining moral values of our nation today. If our nation's values were more in line with those of our founding fathers, we probably...

    Grandma's Got a Gun!

    Great job! We don't see enough of that kind of thing. Tell grandma we're all proud of her... and you for helping her and for sharing it with us.

    So, think we will ever get rid of the 1968 GCA?

    I'm not so sure about that. I think congress would simply do what it always does when one of the Fed. bureaucratic agencies gets into trouble. They will first make indignent speeches about how pi**ed off they are that such a thing could happen. Then they will order an investigation into the...

    I don't get it. Neither will you.

    Do we get it now? Most anti-gunners are ignorant about guns and the TRUE crime stats involving guns. I can't think of any other inanimate object that is given as many mysterious animate qualities :evil: as the gun. I'm surprised they don't demand leash laws for guns so they couldn't get away...

    Why does urbanization lead to an anti-gun mentality?

    Let's not go off on a religious tangent here, but way back when our core values were centered in God we WERE a lot closer in our views on many things...including firearms. Our government has done all it can to separate the people from those values over the past 30 years or so.
