Quote by: Fangrim You'd think of all people that Supreme Court justices would know what the hell the Second Amendment means.

Yeah, I regret that Boy George, the 'Worst President Ever', had the opportunity to stack the Court that was destined to finally rule on this, but I'm not quite as alarmed as you seem to be.

It's like I said, from what I read, the Court seems to be trying hard to make everyone happy by not actually changing anything... gun loons can still strut around declaring their right to bear arms and federal, state and local governments can still pass gun control laws, as long as they don't go too close complete confiscation.

One would hope the U.S. might evolve beyond it's Wild West mythology, but maybe that's too much to expect.

Quote by: Kite t is a sad, sad day when a rational human being is actually angry that one of their rights isn't being taken away.

What's sad, Kite, is how you can easily compare rights of individuals to express ideas, (speech, religion, press) and receive access to a fair and transparent legal process (quartering, search & seizure, due process, bail, etc. etc) with the right to own a deadly weapon, the means to kill people.

Quote by: Roxdog Ha..."per use". Word games. Cars kill more people each year than guns.

Sure, Roxy... whatever you say.

Here's a mental exercise for you... imagine you wake up one morning and discover that... a) all the cars and trucks in America have disappeared b) all the guns in America have disappeared.

Which scenerio do you think would bring life in America to a grinding halt?

Quote by: Roxdog You know very little about any of this besides what you are able to google on the fly. You obviously know nothing about the American Revolution as you proved to us earlier in the thread so why should anyone take you seriously?

Um... because you haven't said diddlysquat - besides calling me names and whining like a little girl - to rebut any of the points I've made?

Quote by: Roxdog Sonart, you need to stop reading the American Constitution through those Pink-colored glasses...

As opposed to what... down the barrel of a gun?

The Constitution says what it says, and one of the things it says is that the Supreme Court, and those Lower Courts approved by Congress, are the arbiters of what is and is not Constitutional, and for the last 70 years those Courts have declared that you do not have the individual right to own a gun.

But cheer up, Rox... it looks like that's about to change, so once again you can puff your chest out, caress your guns and take your place among your proud fellow 'Mericans.
