So, would you be okay with each state deciding whether you could practice your religion, speak freely, petition the government for redress of grievances? Would you be okay with each state deciding whether its police could arbitrarily strip search you for no reason at all, or monitor your phone...

Vote for a flip-flopper? Which one? Unfortunately, the best indicator of future performance is past performance. Romney has been a flip-flopping backstabber. Most likely future role? Flip-flopping backstabber. It's not just that he changes positions with the political winds. It's...

I always figured that a politician who will lie to you during the campaign is just plain dishonest and should be removed from consideration as soon as possible. If they lie to you when they need your vote, what stops them from doing much worse once they DON'T need your vote? Innate dishonesty...

Cain's stance on the Second Amendment is a talking point - and a self-contradictory one at that. See http://thinkprogress.org/justice/2011/06/10/242793/anti-gun-herman-cain/ Watch the video. In his own words. He essentially says, "I support the Second Amendment - and I think the states should...

To see where Romney stands on the issues, just take this short quiz: http://boycotts4paul.com/MittRomney.pdf Once you have, you'll have a very good idea where he stands on the Second Amendment.

Lots of times the best day to go to the show is the last day of the show. The serious sellers frequently would rather knock a few bucks off than pack it up and haul it to the next show. This is even more true on a quantity buy (several thousand rounds of ammo). If you want to have some fun...

What's wrong with my 9mm Luger? It's not a .45ACP. Ba-dum-dum.:neener:

One generally considers preventing human starvation as a "good" - but there are those who consider (with some justification) that the human herd needs culling. Do you attach a higher value because of some societal status you attach to the antlers? Perhaps that's where attitudes need...

I assure you, I am not "trolling", though it is increasingly clear that the Constitutional and legal fundamentals I've put forth are foreign to many who post here. I look at it as an opportunity to educate. You should see it as an opportunity to learn. Actually, the "mindset" is one of...

I believe the overriding question is whether one has the responsibility to obey an unjust (or unconstitutional) law. Once we determine that the law is correct, then the question of whether breaking the law is justified by a greater good. There is no reason to obey an illegal law (aside from...

True. But the deer population is not decimated. http://wildlifecontrol.info/deer/pages/deerpopulationfacts.aspx Consequently, the thrust of your statement is incorrect. Incorrect. see http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2009/11/16/AR2009111601598.html Incorrect...

Incorrect. See http://blog.timesunion.com/wildlife/who-owns-wildlife/2/ An interesting hypothesis, but generally incorrect. The "price" of deer (tag) is artificially established by the government and is not a function of market demand. Were it otherwise, the cost of a deer tag would...

Whoa! A deer that has been eating your plants on your land "belongs to the state"? Well, then, at the very least, the state owes your for grazing. And in any case where such an animal causes damage, the state should be held liable. Since the deer overpopulation in many northeastern states...

I think the hidden (and mistaken) assumption is that all laws are inherently good. If that were the truth, there would be little dissent in government. But the truth is, there are a lot of bad laws, and perversion of law is endemic - especially to the Feral [sic] Government. The root of...

That's one approach. Unfortunately, it amounts to begging the people who barred you from doing what you want with your own land to please, please, please let me do what I want on my own land. If you're worth billions, it's simple. You just sue until they surrender. Otherwise, you're likely...

Interesting. So you would place trophy hunting as a higher "good" than subsistence hunting? In other words, if someone were hunting for food, and shot a buck with a nice rack, that would be wrong (why?) In that case, in most of the Country, those setting the limits aren't doing their jobs...

The police state relies upon people who would "turn in their own grandmothers". French resistors and those harboring jews during WWII had that problem constantly.

Actually it does. It's a pretty good example of blind obedience to law - which is the central thrust of this entire topic. I think WASTING game should be severely punished. Anyone who does that should lose their equipment, their right to hunt and their freedom (for a period of time). As for...

Do you also stand by slavery? Remember, it was once the law of the land that slavery was legal. That's a rather extreme example, but how about the law in Nebraska that forbids driving a red vehicle? (Only emergency vehicles can be red. Last I checked, still on the books - but widely ignored...

The whole issue of poaching versus hunting when you want to, is, in my view, a question of how much freedom/authority you've ceded to the state and what the impact is on the common resources. There are good reasons for hunting seasons/regulations, mostly to do with preservation of game stocks...
