Firearms. Who or what is dangerous? No it hasn't. Centralised government should be used more so that there is no confusion when going from one area to the next. Whether it be about education, guns, driving, building regulations or whatever. Local government should only be responsible for deciding thing like, should we build the new school here, here or there. Not on what subjects should be taught inside the school. |

Only one quote from the video is wrong and it's the first one given by Washington. The rest are true and correct. Must not conflict resolve by suggesting that someone should go sit on an ice pick... |

Post a transcript. Everyone here reads faster than talking heads talk. Otherwise I suspect propaganda value is the reason you post. |

THE HIDDEN HISTORY OF THE SECOND AMENDMENT "This Article challenges the insurrectionist model. The Second Amendment was not enacted to provide a check on government tyranny; rather, it was written to assure the Southern states that Congress would not undermine the slave system by using its newly acquired constitutional authority over the militia to disarm the state militia and thereby destroy the South's principal instrument of slave control. In effect, the Second Amendment supplemented the slavery compromise made at the Constitutional Convention in Philadelphia and obliquely codified in other constitutional provisions.[52]" An interesting, well researched paper on the true history of the 2nd amendment. Also explains where I.D. is getting his information from. Reality Internet Personality |

In effect, the Second Amendment supplemented the slavery compromise Like Many have Stated Here, The US Constitution is A Fluid, Changeable In Interpretation, Through Time, Document. Now, In The 21st Century, We, Certain-Over 50%-of The US Population, Do Believe, Tyranny Is Suspect, And, The Interpretation Now, In Our Time, Of The Second Admendment, Is, One Of An Insurrectionist Nature. PROFessor S. Say: There It Goes Again, Nature, Evolving, not so much to Make US Better, But To Adapt to CHANGING Environments. he ahe ahe hehe May we All have a METAMORPHOSIS. REASON.

In effect, the Second Amendment supplemented the slavery compromise and who lobbied to change it? From the paper: "The bulk of this writing has been produced by a small band of true believers who belong not merely to the individual rights school of thought but a particular wing commonly called "insurrectionist theory."[35] The leader of this band is Stephen P. Halbrook,[36] who, with the support of tens of thousands of dollars in NRA grants,[37] has written no less than two books and thirteen law review articles advocating this particular theory of the Second Amendment.[38] Insurrectionist theory is premised on [Page 319] the idea that the ultimate purpose of an armed citizenry is to be prepared to fight the government itself. Halbrook believes that "the Second Amendment's framers anticipated a force of the whole armed populace, not a select group, to counter inroads on freedom by government,"[39] and that they intended "to guarantee the right of the people to have .their private arms' to prevent tyranny and to overpower an abusive standing army or select militia."[40] Such writings conjure up a romantic image of the colonial militia: rugged individualists who answer to no one but their own conscience and stand ready to protect their homes, families, and communities from all manner of threats, both foreign and domestic. Because they serve no master other than their own sense of patriotism, they cannot be manipulated or commandeered as might a government controlled force. Because they are armed, they have the means, as well as the will, to resist tyranny." Reality Internet Personality |

Free men have guns. Slaves don't. I'm a free man and intend to keep it that way....... I live in a country that has very strong gun laws but am I less free than a citizen of the US ? Neither my children or I get groped by TSA gorillas when passing through airport security, I don't get stopped by a paramilitary force for random checks to see if I'm a "terrorist" while on the highway or train or bus station, law enforcement officers don't shoot first and ask questions later, our security services do not overtly monitor text messages and emails and I can send my kids to school without any worry that some psycho with an assault rifle is going to use them for target practice. If your only definition of freedom is the right to have a gun(s) in your house, you have a strange idea of freedom. The Patriot Act did more to take away American "freedom" than gun control ever would. From what I see, the US proposals for gun control only limit the ownership of military grade weapons and high capacity magazines. Apart from the jerk off factor, why does a private citizen need to own weapons of this type ? No-one is trying to take away your hunting rifle. T.A. |

Free men have guns. Slaves don't. I'm a free man and intend to keep it that way....... First off what do you think is a miltary grade weapon? And the second is what if my hunting rifle is a civilian version of an AR platform. In my state I can hunt certain game with it. And just so you know im allowed a 5 round magazine when hunting. There is no bayonette lug nor a flash hider and or muzzle brake. As for jerk off factor, Thats something for people who dont know what they are talking about. [/quote] Old James |

First off what do you think is a miltary grade weapon? A knife is a military grade weapon. They carry them. They train to use them. Tell me I'm wrong. |

Michelle Malkin reported on Fox news last night that in New York state the Dems with their gun control laws do indeed want to take all arms from the citizen. In the law if you have one gun you get one bullet. Indeed a stupid law. While hunting one would need more then one round. Even so, the report above about the reason for firearms is false from posters here, and a out and out lie. The intent of law is all that is needed for owning a firearm. That intent is tyranny from a standing army within our borders. It is unfortunate and a crime in my thoughts that my link was removed. Because the link gave the reasons for owning a firearm in my country from the mouths of the framers and founders. This is called intent. Of course if socialist, who in their mind want to re-engineer society must interject revisioniest history. Must not conflict resolve by suggesting that someone should go sit on an ice pick... |

And just so you know im allowed a 5 round magazine when hunting. There is no bayonette lug nor a flash hider and or muzzle brake....... Haven't you just answered your own question ? A civilian version and a 5 round magazine. Therefore you already know the difference between military grade and civilian grade. Under the proposed legislation I doubt you have anything to worry about. I'm not against guns or gun ownership. It's just like all legal issues there are are those in the US that stretch the second amendment to breaking point. When that amendment was written I'm pretty sure the sponsors were not imagining the sort of fire power that's available these days. BTW. I'm curious. What sort of game do you hunt with that rifle and what range are you shooting at ? T.A. |
