im not talking about gun club stuff, im talking about read the founders words themselves. well regulated has a very specific meaning in the context of the constitution. it simply means that anyone 17 and older should have a gun in working condition. nothing more
how many times are you going to bring up "well regulated" in the wrong context??? educate yourself it has NOTHING to do with regulations by the government
only people who dont grow up with guns and gang bangers learn how to use a gun from the movies. Realistically it should be parents teaching their kids (sadly most parents these days dont know a stock from a barrel)
my point is that he wants to use his 1st amendment right, to try and restrict people who are supporting the 2nd amendment. not realizing that the 2nd amendment is one of the few things making sure his 1st amendment is upheld
you ARE aware that alot of the guns rights activists in the 60s were more about granting gun ownership for black folk right? A lot of "gun rights" were instituted to HELP groups like the black panthers in a time of really bad racism. But of course you dont know that.and frankly I dont care about what reagan did. I didnt like him anymore than I liked bush or obama
Long story short, Take your insults and shove um where the sun dont shine. Aducate yourself a little better
or to put it in terms a liberal would understand
Shouldnt black folk be allowed to defend themselves from the racists?? shouldnt women be able to defend themselves from their abusers???
The average person doesn't respond to appeals to logic. Otherwise we'd be walking, bicycling, and taking public transit instead
right, because I can ride a bike, or walk 15 miles up a mountain on my way to work everyday....
And people would have a lot less garbage to haul out on garbage day because they'd recycle.
are there really people out there not recylcing more than in the past? Everywhere I have lived i nthe past 15 years has had recycling and garbage pickup on the same day. its not that hard to put plastic in a different bin than trash.
And we'd be admitting that we went over the tipping point in the 70s.
tipping point concerning what? oil??? blame the environmentalists 100% on that one, they were the ones blocking the installation of new nuke plants, which would have us on less oil today if we could have done so And the Tea Party wouldn't exist. And Sarah Palin wouldn't be on anyone's radar.
the tea party doesnt exist because of environmentalists or environmental reasons. the reason they exist is in the name. Taxed Enough Already. they would still exist today, if not by that name by another because taxes are out of hand. as for sarah palin, she only gets play because people use her as an excuse to make republicans look bad. it would be nice if she would go away. she is not helping.
The mere situation where they vehemently insist that sporting clubs are a "well organized militia" shows how far it has diverged from anything resembling reality.
you may want to educate yourself on the wording "well regulated militia" Because you are not using it in the proper context. Heres a hint. it has nothing to do with government regulations, and everything to do with owning guns in working order.
but i stand by my statement, just because SCOTUS says something doesnt make it constitutional. not in a world where they can take a 2 sentence simple amendment and decide it doesnt mean what it says, which is that all americans are free to own arms and there is nothing the government can do about it.
i dont care what you, a private individual does with such a DB. you cant do anything to me with that information, and if you tried anything bad with that information, I would be within my rights to defend myself.
lets see if the ACLU actually digs deeper or drops the ball to the NRA to go in alone. then we will know if the ACLU actually cares about all civil liberties or only some

The word of SCOTUS by definition makes something Constitutional.

funny thing, is i AM a libertarian lol. I dont think it was libertarians modding me down i think it was anti gun nuts or racists, or both

i guess its the first thing you read that i wrote then.
im talking about governments, not individuals. theres my distinction

Rights are not given by the constitution. Governments are limited by it.

sure, lets watch MSNBC instead, theres no nutjobs on that station at all!
except for the DEA was the one giving those guns to the cartels, or have you forgotten about fast and furious???
so explain to me how the mass shootings at schools in america did not decrease with the "assault weapons" ban??

actually i see your point. i worded it wrongly.
but i stand by my statement, just because SCOTUS says something doesnt make it constitutional. not in a world where they can take a 2 sentence simple amendment and decide it doesnt mean what it says, which is that all americans are free to own arms and there is nothing the government can do about it.
ok, lets change it up a bit shall we???
Would you be ok with this tech being used outside of abortion cliniques?
would you be ok with this tech being used at peaceful protests???
would you like this tech being used at battered womens shelters???
Would you be ok with it being used at...... well you get the point
If you can think of 1, just 1 place where this tech does NOT belong in use, then it should not be used
i dont care what you, a private individual does with such a DB. you cant do anything to me with that information, and if you tried anything bad with that information, I would be within my rights to defend myself.
well, the NRA is focused on GUN RIGHTS
or are you saying that people who are in the NRA dont care about other things, because I can tell you thats simply not true
well its worked in iraq, and afghanistan, and korea, and Vietnam....
SCOTUS also said owning slaves was ok. just because SCOTUS says something does not make it constitutional
sure, lets continue to ban things out of irrational fear instead of simply stop breaking the constitution....
lets see if the ACLU actually digs deeper or drops the ball to the NRA to go in alone. then we will know if the ACLU actually cares about all civil liberties or only some
why not just make it even more honest
"DEA to monitor cars... period"
