Your graph doesn't really get at a lot of what I said. The total number of firearms is a function of the population size and is complicated by the fact that many gun owners purchase more than one gun. The question is, has the percentage of Americans who are gun owners dramatically increased, and...

Alas Thomas Jefferson did not appear to say: "When governments fear the people, there is liberty. When the people fear the government, there is tyranny." http://www.monticello.org/site/jefferson/when-governments-fear-people-there-libertyquotation Although I suppose it doesn't matter who...

But they are going to be soooo liable if one of those employees beats a man to death with a stolen baguette.

So I'm just a touch confused by our legal system. For instance, let's say the Heller decision comes back in favor of Heller and the Supreme Court establishes that the 2nd amendment protects an individual right. Then, let's say I want to challenge the California "assault weapon" ban based...

There seems to be a lot of confusion about the implications of Jeff's post. Let me quickly sum up. It isn't good to joke about committing homicide if you actually commit homicide. is that about right Jeff?

Yeah but we're supposed to have Constitutional rights regardless of what corner of the country we live in. And last I checked the 2nd was all about our right to keep and bear arms and it should apply no matter the state. Why should we have to move to enjoy those basic liberties guaranteed to...

I doubt any good will come of it. In fact, I figure the opposite. "See ... we shouldn't have any permits". Given Schwarzenegger's complete betrayal of gun-owners in the recent bout of legislation, I wouldn't put it past him to sign into law the abolishment of CC to all non law...

I'm in agreement with some people voicing concerns over just how much a private employer is allowed to demand of an employee. I understand that the employer is entitled to their property. I also understand that an employee is obligated to understand the contract they are signing and if they...

We gun owners are a wacky, crazy minority group that actually *gasp* trusts others with the same freedom we ourselves desire. That concept is nuts to so many others though. The trouble is, for a company now a days, they're much more likely to be damned if they allow guns than if they don't...

So the income tax is unconstitutional? Now if you want to argue that the Amendment is wrong, unfair, unjust, not in the spirit of American productivity, etc etc go right ahead. But it's a bit of logical irony to say the constitution is unconstitutional.

Riiiight...only liberals are to blame. They never got any major assistance from revered conservatives like Ronald "The Greatest President" Reagan... oh wait...

...maybe a myocardial infarction will :neener: http://news.yahoo.com/s/nm/20070817/hl_nm/deer_risk_dc

Not really a tv/movie but certainly part of my growing up experience... Doom2 and the Double Barreled Shotgun (also the BFG-9000 but it's hard to find the plasma cells for it).

ArmedBear-- I think you're definitely on to something. The wolf has officially stepped out of the sheep's clothes. This may be the first direct, official admission by the Brady Campaign that they support a complete and total ban on handguns. Otherwise they should have no issue with the...

okay...great...the point being, what exactly? Can you buy a pack of Stingers at Walmart and then drive them to Rosarito while you're on Spring break? I think it warrants saying another time...man the media sucks....

So which is it? Do they favor fully-automatic assault rifles and settle for semi-auto? Or do they have fully-automatic weapons, but, on a completely unrelated note, you can get ones that look like them in gun stores... man the media sucks...

So it says that 98% of our Senators can get caught up in hysteria? We should scrutinize everyone. Not just the one who thought differently. Just because many here disagree with much of what Feingold says, doesn't mean EVERYTHING he says is wrong. That's ad hominem. In this case, I think he was...

Yeah great -- we're all supporters of hezbollah here because some a-hole thinks so? This thread cannot be closed soon enough.

You know, every time I hear about this Libertarian fantasy world where everyone is happy, there's no regulation, and everything smells like peaches and roses, it reminds me of the same kind of naive optimism that a crowd in a speakeasy had on October 23, 1929. The trouble with this dream is...

BAT1- Ron Paul stirs the pot of Ron Paul supporters. Which amount to about 1% of likely Republican voters... Sure polls can be wrong, somewhat biased, and have large margins of error. But when most polls have Thompson taking 30% of the Republican vote, and he isn't even officially running yet...
