[Darkwind]

Is Darkwind anything like a wet fart...?

Game, Set, and Match.

OMG, that must mean you won! Congratulations! BTW, what did you win...?

The continuation of laughing at your inane attempts to articulate the gun crisis in America.

I suspect your face is quite familiar with wet farts so, only you would probably know. Are your boyfriend's wet farts, a dark wind for you?

They didn't intend Americans to own every kind of gun imaginable, that is for sure.

sure they did.

 

[CrotchetyGeezer]

Do you honestly believe, that over 200 years ago, the founding fathers intended for you to own every single gun you ever wanted?

I honestly believe 200 years ago, the founding fathers intended me to have the same type of guns available to me that the government has available to it.

Yo................Crotch Sniffing Sleazer.....................you DO realize that machine guns are illegal, right?

You also realize that the military has machine guns as well?

And............................why are machine guns illegal right now? Because of the gangsters in the 20's.

Yo..........Biker Sniffing Sailor.....you want to enlighten us a little further on this claim you have that machine guns are illegal?

Who told you this?

Yes. They saw no problem with Americans owning every weapon available in the day. they probably would not have a problem with Americans owning machine guns if they were alive today.

It's interesting that the 2nd amendment clearly states why the FF's included the 2nd amendment and yet the poll did not include that as an option. Do I detect something of an agenda?

So, as clearly stated by the Founding Fathers for anyone who a) bothers to actually read the amendment and b) doesn't ignore what they don't like in it, it was created in order to guarantee the ability of the individual state to maintain a well-regulated militia. Which means, of course, that while the right of the citizen to keep and bear arms cannot be infringed, it can be regulated.

Talked to them did you?

 

[PredFan]

Because they knew NaziCons with short dicks were fearful and paranoid and would need an arsenal to feel safe...?

Wow, I forgot that one in my poll question. And, fearful and paranoid? You mean, it's like this nation's history never happened and, the history of untold numbers of other nations never happened? Are you really this clueless?

Absolutely.

They pretty much thought of a lot of things that are still relevant today. They made no specifications or exclusions. Any intent not written is in your mind only.

 

[PredFan]

Do you honestly believe, that over 200 years ago, the founding fathers intended for you to own every single gun you ever wanted?

Yes. They did NOT have your irrational fear of guns.

Tell this to the parents of the school children who were killed. They probably have a real "irrational" fear of guns.

Moron.

 

[SniperFire]

The Founding Fathers did not institute the right to bear arms.

Right to bear arms is inalienable, and the Founders only recognized that such a right shall not be infringed upon.

It is a huge difference.

That was before we developed nuclear weapons I do believe. You will NEVER have the firepower the military has...never.

Love how you lefties interpret the Constitution to make it say something it doesn't. The Supreme Court Disagrees with you.

Why did America's Founding Fathers institute the right to bear arms in the Second Amendment to the Constitution of the United States?

They dd not foresee AK41s to be used to kill mass number of people at one time.

 

[Sallow]

D is the closest answer.

American men were expected to make up the bulk of our "part time" army..which was never meant to be permanent. And that was meant only to be called up in defense against invasion and insurrection.

to DEFEND the country

Your belief is incorrect.

They wrote in "the pursuit of happiness" into the Constitution. If someone can afford to build a gun museum and place in it every known gun ever made and he had the cash, he or she could build it. Why speculate on a given?

Technically you are correct. Nobody can see directly into the future.

However, there was much consideration as to whether future generations of Americans could keep those freedoms that many of them gave up life itself for as a gift to posterity.

"At the close of the Constitutional Convention in Philadelphia on September 18, 1787, a Mrs. Powel anxiously awaited the results, and as Benjamin Franklin emerged from the long task now finished, asked him directly: "Well Doctor, what have we got, a republic or a monarchy?" "A republic if you can keep it" responded Franklin." Bartleby

No, the SC agrees with me. However, I am always willing to be educated. Please point out the SC decision which states the government cannot regulate the ownership and use of weaponry.
