My mother has a puggle and a boxer. The puggle is an unholy terror, but very good at barking at anyone coming to the door (when he is not outside hunting squirels). The boxer is a rescue dog, he is so big that he looks more like a bullmastiff. He is a horrible watchdog, but intimidates every...

http://www.salon.com/opinion/feature/2007/04/18/second_amendment/ Yup, that's right, repeal the Second Amendment. I think just about everyone at THR would agree that's what you need to do in order to reconcile the Constitution with banning handguns and assault rifles, lack of carry laws and...

It's on that they put it on there when it is not customary in your area. But if you are signing the lease, you are agreeing to be bound by the covenant. You could negotiate with them, but I doubt they would be willing to; they put it in there in the first place. All they can do is evict you...

Sorry to ressurect the thread, but hey, I started it. Another thing to look at is correlation vs. causation. You can't just point out Japan's strict gun laws and low violence as a case for gun control. There are other factors present. But the important thing to focus on is the marginal...

Something you might bring up the next time you have a discussion with a gun control advocate. The Nirvana fallacy is a logical error of comparing a real world situation with the absolute ideal situation instead of all of the other possible real world situations. No reasonable person wants...

"90-95% of Montana residents own guns. Montana gun owners have an average of 27 guns each. Approximately 8.5% of all the guns in the US are in the state of Montana" Well then Montana must have the highest crime rate in the nation.

Stupid barely related new guy question: are suppressors good for home defense pistols because they wouldn't be nearly as defeaning indoors, or is it not worth the grief the cops or DA could give you

Just as a fun note, my Economics Analysis of the Law professor postulated that private property developed in prehistoric times because of the domestication of dogs. A man couldn't farm and keep thieves away all day, but a barking dog could alert him to when a thief was around, so he could focus...

Obviously cities like Chicago, Washington DC and New York where gun control is the strongest.:banghead:

There's no question that hunting is a huge conservation tool, but I don't see anything wrong with finding hunting a particular animal distasteful. For example, I wouldn't hunt a bald eagle, but if I was convinced bald eagle hunting would aid in preservation I wouldn't have any problem with...

I read Democratic Underground gun forum, and the funny thing is that about half the posts were pro gun rights. The funny thing about the a lot of gun control advocates is that they read all sorts of rights into the Constitution through penumbras and emanations, but then do their best to ignore...

Well Doc2005, don't keep us in suspense, have you posted your hog video? I like huntingfootage.com, but there seems to be all bow hunters.

Constitution Cowboy: you are right, I was unclear about that. But the Bill of Rights only limited federal action, it took the 14th Amendment to incorporate the Bill of Rights to apply to the state as well, and as we can see, one of those fundamental rights, the right to bear arms, is still not...

"I would bet the farm that Nelson Lund does not believe the Second Amendment only limits the federal government. Anyone with such a clear understanding of the Constitution and its background could not hold such a premise honestly." Haha, yeah Constitution Cowboy, you are right, Lund is not...

As a law student, I have read countless and written a few legal briefs. Nelson Lund's brief, here http://www.gurapossessky.com/news/parker/documents/07-290bsacSecondAmendmentFoundation.pdf is by far the best I have ever read. It is much more technical and legally focused than some, but a very...
