This is just silly, brien. Automobiles are, unlike firearms, a privilege to possess and operate, an invaluable tool and an economic asset to the point where the U.S. economy would collapse without them. Moreover, they're basically safe when operated correctly... just compare the number of automobile fatalities to the millions upon millions of times automobiles are operated in this country every hour, vastly more than firearms.

Ah, but the deaths you have alluded to thinking are the most egregious, the accidental deaths of children, are a primary focus of the anti-gun establishment.


Face it, automobiles produce more accidental deaths than even people misusing guns.

Guns, on the other hand, are intentionally lethal when operated correctly, and serve only that purpose... lethality.

Yep, and hammers hammer nails, and staplers staple staples.

To the contrary, Zeebedee made a perfectly astute observation. I've proven, and you've basically conceded, that based on the Constitution, you don't have the 2nd Amendment rights you think you do. As a result, several here have simply railed against the Supreme Court, Liberals, etc. etc. .. exactly as Zeebedee described, whining against a ruling based on the same Constitution they glorify.

An "interpretation" well after the SCOTUS had been stacked with ideologs who passed the litmus tests of their Liberal appointees.

I presented evidence on the last page... sufficient enough for Osborn break into a stutter trying to explain how our violence is justified because our liberty to succeed or fail makes folks so tense... or... something.

Sociological diagnosis have no place in the 'leglity" of gun ownership.


Many of us would argue that it's the Liberal teaching institutions that produced the real harm.

Besides, hasn't it struck you that the DOI was politically expedient in that, because it served the colonies political purposes, it declares that rebellion is a God given right, yet, when it came time to build a new Constitution, the God given right to rebell against the new government is nowhere to be found. In fact, to the exact contrary, the new constitution made ample provision, on both state and federal levels, on how insurrections could be put down by force of arms.

Perhaps then, you would care to explain the language where they allude to the citizens having the right to remove, or throw off tyrants in their own government?


How were to go about that with a "militia" you cay consists of the National Guard?
