A brave Win for the Gun Industry

[MP5]

Ryan, us gun owners in the world don't own guns cause we are scared of our shadow, or as the dems think...cause we have little dicks. i like to shoot. I love to go to the range and blast targets at 300 yards. I like to unload my 9 with a 30 shot clip. I like to set out milk jugs at 100 yards and blow them up with my assault rifle. I love to hunt, and I am a collector. The fringe benefits of me owning guns are personal and family safety. Plus it is my right as a US citizen so why should I have to defend myself? You should see the damage a modern day bow and arrow causes! I would rather get shot than stuck with an arrow out of a bow at 300 fps tipped with a razor broadhead. I shot an elk with my bow and the damage was ten fold compared to my rifle. I suppose we need to ban those next?

Why don't you just play an animated video game if you love guns that much....It will produce the same result in the end------nothing.

Guns just give you a false sense of power.

Your right to own a gun isn't absolute....it can still be regulated.

 

[MP5]

what part of "shall not be infringed" is unclear?

People should have the right to protect thier property period.
Myt truck got broken into a week and a half ago. I am not putting it on insurance because my premium will go up so whats the point. I will pay the $300-500 now rather than later.

That being said if I caught some fucker stealing or destroying my property, let alone threatening my life , I should have every right to defend myself including blowing his brains out, although I would get more satisfaction putting my hands on his throat and choking the life out of him.

Ryan there are way too many fucking idiots out there hurting and stealing from people today. Until they make the penalties so unbearable that it cuts back the crime big time people should be allowed to have guns legally, because there are just 2 many bad guys with guns ILLEGALY. Not just cities but this shit is starting to happen big time in small towns too.

I was talking to this middle eastern lady last week and she was telling me there in one of those countries if you get caught stealing they cut off your hands. Guess what the crime of stealing is very low over there.

notice the words MP5, "a well regulated....."

That means gun ownership is not an unlimited, absolute right. It can be regulated. One day your guns will be taken away.

 

[MP5]

The second amendment is not just referring to guns. The well regulated miltitia is exactly that, a regulated militia! That says nothing about personal gun ownership. It refers to the fact that the USA shall always have an organized military and armed populous to protect our freedoms. I would like to see our government try and take the guns away. That would be a blood bath. What are they going to use to take them away...pepper spray, or Rosie O'donnel pleading with a mega phone?

MP5---you're smarter than this. This is a real no brainer: If it's intended by the framers that the government should regulate the militia, it's also obvious that the framers would want civilians regulated

 

[Weapon X]

From the Harvard Journal of Law & Public Policy:
ARMED CITIZENS, CITIZEN ARMIES: TOWARD A JURISPRUDENCE OF THE SECOND AMENDMENT

http://www.2ndlawlib.org/journals/hardcit.html

This Article will demonstrate that in light of the historical evidence, documentation of the intent of the drafters of the Second Amendment and their contemporaries, and the need to maintain a consistent standard of constitutional interpretation, the individual rights approach is the only approach that has any validity. It will then formulate a proposed test intended to accommodate the purposes of the Framers to developments in weapons technology that have produced infantry weapons qualitatively more deadly than existed when the Bill of Rights was drafted.

Now here's a smart Liberal: http://www.theamericanenterprise.org/taeso99b.htm

You cite a law review article, WeaponX.

Of course, there are a few scholars that will publish radical, extreme propoganda, just as I can find more scholars that will argue that there is no absolute right to gun ownership in this country.

People disagree on this issue. The extremists you cite simply take another approach.
