oversimplified stupidity for the truly stupid. Far more nuance should go into gun laws. Frankly, the whole 2nd amendment thing is a crock, the Amendment was never intended to have an armed populace at peaceful gatherings. There were exactly two purposes for that Amendment: 1) To provide for a quick, military response when there was little or no standing army in place, or budgeted for and 2) As discussed by Madison and others, to overthrow any tyranny that develops. Both reasons are obsolete, as we have a military in place, and the second part is ludicrous given the size and scope of the force the government could bring to bear.
Now, I'm NOT in favor of banning all weapons, far from it. Still, certain sensible regulation might be worth consideration, especially in terms of ease of purchase and the availability of weaponry that has NO purpose beyond quick, mass killing of humans(ie: you ain't going squirrel hunting with a Glock 9)
Spoken like a true gun hating liberal. Tell me this oh wise one. How is it that you can come to that conclusion when virtually NONE of the courts that this has been tossed around in have come to the same conclusion?
We have a military in place that can NOT be legally used against the American people comprised of men and women who have have sworn and oath to uphold and defend the Constitution while at the same time NOT having any protection from it. I would think a LARGE majority of our armed forces would disobey any order to act against American citizens.
Zamudio is a perfect example that your conclusion is bullshit. True, he wasn't at the rally. He was just buying some smokes whilst LEGALLY armed. (and supposed by the likes of you dangerous) He didn't whip out his pistol and start shooting. He used other methods to stop the crime, along with the help of others that didn't freeze solid and shit themselves like you suggested above.
That young man has done more to further the cause of concealed carry than most of the vocal proponents put together. Just because you think it appropriate to freeze solid when confronted with possibly fatal adversity, doesn't mean that the whole human race is wired the same as you are.
I've been shot at and around situations where others were being shot at. Freezing solid was the last fucking thing on my mind.
A firearm is nothing more than tool, as is a hammer. A firearm and a hammer both have the same amount of intelligence as the average liberal in my opinion.
While you're on the road to banning or eliminating things capable of killing a LOT people, how many firearms with hi capacity magazines were used in the slaughter that took place on 9-11-2001?
Were there no laws to prohibit hi-jacking airliners and murdering people already in place? Maybe we need to pass a specific law against such foolishness?
Wait a minute, I think there are laws against what Loughner did too. WTF?? HOW could he have done that? Well HELL, let's make government bigger and stronger and pass some more laws that will be ignored. How much will enforcing that shit cost?
Weren't you advocating cutting expenses in government?
