Quote by: GHook93  That is a very interesting and scary statistic. I support the 2nd Amendment, but think something needs to be done. Amendments don't create absolute rights. Freedom of religion doesn't allow for human sacrifice. Freedom of speech doesn't allow for threats or calling fire in a crowded theater.
However you never know what the future will bring, so it is good to preserve some measure firearm protection.
There is also the argument, which I support, that by "arms" in the 2nd amendment they were referring to rifles or longer arms of that equivalent. I like that interpretation. Non-automatic hunting rifles and shotguns are what I believe should be protected. I believe for the public's safety full automatic rifles, aka machinegun, and concealed weapons aka handguns, should be limited. One can easily protect one's property with a non-automatic machine gun or shotgun. |
ROFLMNAO....
Well Britain banned Guns and as a result is realizing massive spikes in violent crime...
Beyond that, the secular progressives of Britain are now prosecuting any subject which they find has resisted a violent attack.
What we see here is very simply, the secular responseto the right to life and the sacred duty to defend that life. In effect the government of Britain cannot defend the life of every subject, but they reject the right of the individual to defend their own life. Thus in Britain the concept of "the right to life" is on it's last leg. While the immutable right will always remain, the protections of government for those exercisig their right will no longer be enjoyed.
What they seem to be incapable fo grasping is that in taking this position, the government now becomes the usurper of individual rights... thus it becomes the duty of every person in Britain to dispatch that government and to replace it with a valid, non-leftist government.
Sadly, one has to look MIGHTY hard to find someone bright enough to understand that, at this point, but that will change and change quickly when in the natural course, liberalism morphs into communism.
