What an absolutely blind observation. The constitution is not a living document. Seeing it as such is sending us down a sure path to socialism. You have no right to health care. You have no right to any federal services. You have a right to own your own land. You have a right to speak your mind. You have a right to own a gun. It amazes me that you people think you can interpret things like 50 days to mean 35 days.. blah blah blah...
You also simply assume that the armed forces of the United States would fire on their contrymen, when in fact history has taught us that 99% of the time, the army joins their countrymen. After all it's the army's mothers and fathers and brothers. It happened with fanaticism in Germany, and happens all over the world.
So yes, mere firearms in the hands of a group of civilians will stop illegal aliens from crossing the border, because the Government won't do it. Guess what? I bet you the government won't dare fire on those guys. There are TOO many people in the US that are sick and tired of the tax burden, including the part of it that the illegals present. They might ask them to stop, but if they do ask, I'll go help those guys. I'm free now. I speak english. I want to keep it that way. The US government can't do it's job, we will.
There's so much more to this than, "Wah! NRA BAD! Guns kill people!" I'll bet you if you put a loaded gun on a table and left it there for 100 years, it would never kill anyone. Just like a hammer.
As a matter of fact, just like another poster wrote: I challenge you to put a big sign in your yard that says, "Gun-Free house!" And see what happens.
Stop watching Care Bears and listening to NPR, and walk down the street in your inner city and ghettos. Get out of your car and walk. See what goes on.
This is true. My family has been anti-gun since I can remember. I am in my own house now, and I decided to see what all the talk was about. I did a little (3 months) research and found out that I truely needed to own a firearm.
Now I do.
I hope I NEVER need to use it, but I'd rather have it and not need it, then need it and wish I had one.
Oh god. Seriously. You're dumb too. The whole reason that they wanted people to have guns was so that NO MAN WOULD HAVE TO STAND FOR A TYRANICAL GOVERNMENT! It has nothing to do with Iraq or Republican or Democrat. They founded this country becuase they believed that every man is free, and had the in-born right do defend that freedom.
Moron.

Perhaps you should read the Federalist papers and do some research on other writings of the guys that wrote that amendment. "Regulated" back then, meant that you were compitent in the usage of, and owned your own gun.
Also listed in there is what they expect of "able bodied" citizens. AND why they wanted everyone to own guns.
That's idiotic. That's like saying, "The founding fathers said you could keep personal transportation. Well, in their day they meant a horse and wagon. Clearly people today should only have a horse and wagon." The point of the founding fathers was this: With an armed population, any government will think twice about pulling the kind of control that Stalin pulled. It has nothing to do with the brand or type of gun made at the time. Moron.

"Indeed, we can look to the fundamentalists own book to see that they're slavering hypocrites, because there are parts of the Bible which are "unsuitable for children" because they are so violent."
Why is it that anyone who read's the Bible (Jews, Catholics, Protestants, etc.) are painted with a broad brush; and are considered fair game.
No one ever read the Bible and then proceeded to crash a 767 into a building.
So wait. You don't like the guys that want to kill the muslims that want to kill us for no good reason; or you don't like the muslims that just want to kill us for no good reason?
Even though I may disagree with liberals, I believe we outta kill the islamic millitants, because while you and I are arguing about it, they'll kill us both. I simply want to secure our right to argue about it.
Bah. Even if you DO move to Canada, you'll be looking back to the US for your medical care, safety from the big bad world, and any sort gadgets you ever want to own. But I'm sure you'll just drive back across the border to take care of it in your... your... Canadian... um... what car manufacturer do they have again?

This is exactly right. Most of us don't live in a gated community. The people that make these assinine laws do.
More children die in fires, car accidents, and drownings every year, than they do by accidental shootings.
I read up on gun ownership for 3 months, and came to the conclusion that I need to own a gun. And NOW.
If you feel that this country doesn't need private gun ownership, feel free to put a sign in your yard that says, "GUN-FREE HOME"
And see what happens.
Funniest post on this story yet.
Stupid ingnorant Mingorance.
Good. It's scary when a government can't trust it's own people.
There's something wrong with all of this.
To sum up the other replies:
1. Read the article.
2. Re-Read the article.
3. Think about your post.
4. Proof read your post.
5. Submit.
Moron.
Bah. This is just another case of a government made up of people, not trusting the people that pay it's bills.
Rediculious.
Love your sig. =)

This country needs guns. People need guns.

Look it up.

Also note that under the US Constition, the police are not obligated to protect citizens. Only uphold the laws set by the legislature.
"Indeed, we can look to the fundamentalists own book to see that they're slavering hypocrites, because there are parts of the Bible which are "unsuitable for children" because they are so violent."

slavering hypocrites indeed.
That's what I was wondering. Why does it have to be one either/or the other of those two?
There are plenty of wise(older) actors who are seasoned enough to play that part.
I celebrate the man's entire catalog.
Hm..
1. I don't see where he ever says ALL MUSLIMS.
2. Show me where in history, ANYWHERE in history, giving in to demands of fringe groups ends with peace.
3. Why do people continue to call themselves hyphenated citizens? Are you a citizen or not? If so, commit to the country.
So wait. You don't like the guys that want to kill the muslims that want to kill us for no good reason; or you don't like the muslims that just want to kill us for no good reason?

*shrug*
Besides. They started it.
Bah. Even if you DO move to Canada, you'll be looking back to the US for your medical care, safety from the big bad world, and any sort gadgets you ever want to own. But I'm sure you'll just drive back across the border to take care of it in your... your... Canadian... um... what car manufacturer do they have again?
What about STAR BLAZERS!?!?!!! Didn't anyone watch that?
Iscandar here I come!!
=)
All we need now is for Aiwa to come out with a car deck that supports MP3 and Ogg on DVD and we'll be set for a while again.
Ha ha.
They prefer "heterosexually challenged".
Haven't the new beetles, rainbow stickers and vegi-whoppers taught us anything?
Sheesh.
Right on. I could go to a local theater and see the Boondock Saints for $7.50/person with my girlfriend, or buy it at Best Buy for $9.99
Pfft.
Amen.
Amen. Either that, or require people to learn some economics. Economics or the difference between the economy and the bleedin' stock market.
