We have many rights under the US constitution,....
No. Wrong way to consider it.
We, as people, have many rights. The US Constitution recognizes several of them. We don't have them "under the Constitution", we have them regardless of the Constitution. The Constitutional Amendments simply say the government cannot violate or remove those rights we already have.
The alternative is that we, as people, have no rights whatsoever. Only permissions and privileges.
You can't make crystal meth that way either. Or heroine, or cocaine, or LSD, or those new bath salts that apparently make people strip naked and then eat other people.
Also, some places do ban weapons that are little more than tree branches, and you do get those by planting trees.
Geekoid, you have to get a better keyboard for your phone. You make good points (occasionally), but they are hard to read because of the many typos in them.
You also have to keep in mind, there are probably a hundred similar rental companies in the same situation. They probably have an industry group, and can band together to offer a million captive college students across the nation. Now they have the size to get special attention.
No, they did not beat me to it. They found a way to define the second, based on Earth conditions. I am asking for something that is actually not "the second", and based on some specific scientific point. I'm not a scientist, so don't know what could be used as that basis, but I'm sure there would be a lot of ideas if the question was put to the scientific community.
Sigh, and why is the second the only thing you can think of?
Are all future generations required to use a base time unit that is a throwback to our ancient past? We might as well keep using miles, ounces, and degrees Fahrenheit as well. They are all as equally scientifically valid as is the second.
Then scientists can work on a timekeeping method that makes sense. No 'leap seconds' or any thing else tied to the Earth's rotational speed or distance from the sun. Base it on a scientific constant, whether nuclear decay or specific EM wavelength or anything else that is precise and easily measurable.
And a whopping 2% of the people would vote for that. Not bad considering only about 5% of the people would even hear about that ticket in the first place.

If the tyrant wants to drink clean water they do. More importantly, the have the power to mandate it. Just as you want to mandate gun control.
Actually, that is the basis of your argument. How can you not see that?
No. You are claiming my right to own a car should be removed because other people cause traffic accidents that kill innocent people.
Also, the primary purpose of a bow and arrow is killing. As is that of a spear. Are you insisting those be outlawed as well?

How is it "quite clear"? He clearly does say to let the people have weapons, and attempt to depose a tyrant, even if they are wrong about the tyrant.
I just read the page you referenced, and don't see the argument you are attempting to make.
By my reading of the 2nd Amendment, there are no illegal gun shops in the US. Making one illegal would violate the phrase "shall not be infringed".

So what you're saying is that all those years I lived with my parents I should have been paying taxes on my allowance?
And every time I washed the car I was hurting the everyone because we didn't take it to a car wash which pays taxes.
Those are grey areas, but ....
Those are grey areas to you?

How do you view his activities from the late 1970s, when Apple was first started?

So then they are Africans. And of course, not all Africans are 'black', many are only brown, such as Egyptians.
As long as the person wanting a gun for self defense was not Jewish.
So, what is the real lie?
Damn it. Just as I was about to get in the shower, the internet rings.
Yes? Hello? What do you want? I'm kinda in the middle of something.
Can I post you right back in a few minutes? Thanks, bu-bye.

Dammit! Must preview better.
Sharks should solve that last problem.
Yes. My TV is shaped like the Star of David.
I'm not even Jewish.
Hustler magazine had a 3D issue back in the 1980s. If you didn't have the glasses, all you saw were overlapping red and blue versions of naked women.
And do you have any suggestions for replicating the sticky floors and people walking up and down the isles during the film?
Sharks should sold that last problem.
What has four wheels and flies?
A garbage truck.
The interesting fight is yet to come. Eventually, Wal-Mart and Amazon will be in direct competition. Bring popcorn.
Like we'll be able to afford popcorn when the only two suppliers of it are WalMart and Amazon.
Ha ha! Now that's a funny response. :^)
