Good and Bad

[Sam1911]

Sheesh. Bad to worse. I guess some random googling would be more credible but not much more so.

Gawd, huffpo wasn't even trying with that one! What, do they think they speak to an echo chamber of blinkered vacuous uncritical robots who ... Oh... Never mind.

Interesting

What polling showa is that polls can be constructed to show anything you want. Which makes most polls as credible as the theory that Kennedy was killed by Martians because they wanted to get to the Moon before we did.

So freedom of speech doesn't cover internet, telephone or radio?

After all, the founding fathers couldn't have imagined those things.

Do not separate text from historical background. If you do, you will have perverted and subverted the Constitution, which can only end in a distorted, bastardized form of illegitimate government.
James Madison

That's what I think of the argument about the Constitution and the brain dead argument about "evolving document".

I think the founders did a great job crafting the constitution to meet their days needs and ours as well.

My Sig says it all in reference to how I feel about more laws, when the laws of today are not being followed.

I love how terms such as "Sane" or "Common Sense" are always used before one then tries to make me believe that by giving up my rights I will be safer somehow (read sig).

One has a right to ones opinion and I will never say you shouldn't feel the way you do but, giving away ones God Given (not man) rights to armament and self protection is a fools errand and will not end well.

The bill of rights are what they are; not suggestions and were made to keep the government our servant.

JRH6856 partially true. If one source is looked at yes, however if many different sources are examined and they correlate the information then no. In this case, as I googled various sources the information does correlate.

^^Well, I just Googled the Second Amendment to the U.S Constitution. "The right of the people to keep and bear arms shall NOT be infringed." You sir, are advocating another infringement of my Second Amendment Right. Simple, Period.

Oh, and as far as being in control of your gun the whole time you are wearing it? Yeah that's a good one!!! Do you walk around with your 5000lb electromagnetic hand on your holstered pistol? Because otherwise you are only maintaining possession. Not control.

Ok, I think we've gotten all the possible value out of this exercise that we could have hoped for, and now we're trailing off into repetition.

It is useful to explore these things sometimes, if only just to sharpen up the claws of our debate.
