Lawn darts are not protected by the US Constitution nor were they ever needed for self-defense. They were toys; guns are not toys.
See, they can' t help themselves. They think that badly written Militia amendments overrule common sense. Because they thought 18th century militiamen needed access to muskets, that means crazy people today should have an unfettered right to machine guns. Becomes some fool l in a powdered wig who shit in a chamber pot said so.
At least I give you credit for your honesty. So many times liberals claim they are not for getting rid of all guns. You are living proof liberals are.
Well, uh. NO. First, I'm not really that liberal. Up until 2008, when a rich asshole fucked up my life, I was pretty conservative. Now I know better. I realize that until we crush the gun nuts and the religious nuts, they are going to keep ******* the working man. Demonstrating to you that your gun and your bible are kind of useless is the first step.
Secondly, we can have a discussion about who can have guns under what circumstances. I'd really have no problem having gun laws like Germany or Canada (Where gun ownership IS allowed, but under very sensible strictures) rather than Japan or the UK (where guns are completely banned).
But maybe you can do me a favor: Hang a huge sign on your front porch that reads WE HAVE NO FIREARMS IN THIS HOME and get back to us in a few months to let us know how that works out. Because banning all guns would give you the exact same results; the criminals being armed, and you not.
Guy, I've had my house broken into. They simply waited until they knew I wasn't home and broke in. It's no big deal. Insurance covers it. Since a gun in the home is 43 times more likely to kill a household member than a bad guy, the gun is the unacceptable risk.
Now, since no gun thread would be complete with Dick Tiny chiming in...
Actually, no they didn't think Slavery was a good idea...the colonists who believed it was went on to become democrats.....the other colonists became republicans and wrote into our Constitution the end of the slave trade with the hope the institution would die off.....
Please point out where "The end of the slave trade" was written into the constitution. No such thing was done, and in fact, Slave states entered the union AFTER the constitution was signed. The fact is, the liberals in the North made compromise after compromise with the conservatives in the South to Expand Slavery (Look up the Missouri compromise, the Fugitive Slave Act, etc.)
It's what happens when an evil decides it has "rights".
