Quote: It needs no "interpretation" It's very plain English If it was very plain there would be no need for a Supreme Court. If I remember correctly that was something the founders threw in. Yes it is very clear when it is being interpreted the way you want it to be. When a decision comes...

Quote: I'm English, not American. I have been expressing my personal views about gun control. Posters have focused, inevitably on a mainly American forum I guess, on the continuing debate in the US. I have been contributing my honest opinions and have no axe to grind for or against the US. I...

Quote: When I first moved to Tx in 1984 they allowed people to drink while driving. Of course you couldn't be drunk, but you could be drinking a beer with a cop sitting next to you and he couldn't stop you. Then there was the old guy that called 911 to let them know he was going to shoot the 2...

Quote: Then I feel very sorry for you. How much more lax could they be short of dispensing with the need for a licence? Geez. I'm still looking forward to you posting the link to those figures you showed us regarding the rates of violent deaths on various countries. It's looks interesting...

Quote: thank you! It's as simple as that.

Quote: And we all know that the FBI has a pro-gun bias. That's why the disclaimer is on the bottom of the chart. Strangely enough the FBI and a lot of police departments do have a pro gun bias. Agreed that the FBI doesn't have much use for radical groups with guns. The average law abiding...

Quote: Actually, my point is that gun regulations DO NOT have any meaningful effect in cutting crime. Just pretend that gun ownership is completely not a part of this. Regulations are down, and crime is down. Ergo, the regulations are not what cuts crime. Sorry professor. You're getting...

It could be thousands of things. That's what's fun about statistics. Any person or group can shape them in whatever pattern they want to represent whatever cause they're supporting. I don't understand your logic that the fact that crime has dropped shows that gun regulations are useless. Gun...

Quote: No facts are being dismissed. Yep Australia has a lower gun homicide rate. It also has a lower stabbing rate an a lower beating to death rate. So is the gun ban why these are down to? or is something else going on. I see just as big of a percentage change inside the USA by race an we...

Quote: Probably very few gang bangers have those cards. I bet you the vast majority of their guns used to belong to someone with a card but no gun to go with it. If gun owners would keep their guns locked up in real gun safes bolted to the floor it would help dry the supply up a little. In...

Quote: That's why they don't allow political discussions on this forum. They always turn out badly. I'm okay with guns. I wish they would regulate them. I also wish the all the pro unregulated gun people would just tell it like it is instead of always bringing up the same old empty arguments...

Quote: I want to answer these points in two parts.. It might be cuckoo cuckoo, but an alarming number of Americans are becoming dissatisfied with the way our government is being run. The government is enacting policiy that the majority of us don't want.. Vehemently protest, and the only non...

Quote: Actually it more about allowing the people the ability to defend themselves against their own government if it ever became tyrannical. In the system of checks and balances between the 3 branches of the federal government, the final check and balance is the people and the 2nd amendment...

Quote: We have proven our system works over the last 250 years. In those same 250 years other countrys have proven gun control does not. All wars are won or lost on the ground an there is not much chance a invader can bring enough people in to the US to stand up to the citizens of the USA...

Quote: Sorry I used the wrong quote and I'm not sure how to change it. If you read my post you'll figure it out. So all these countries you listed that decided "to embrace" the religion of gun control would be fine now if they had not done that? One day they passed a law stating no ore guns...

Quote: No? Read up on gun laws in Australia! Yes I am a gun toting Liberal... ON Isn't that an oxymoron

Our M16A1's jammed often. It was the gas rings. They never seemed to have any replacements. Made it rough when you were qualifying. Can't imagine what it would be like to have it jamb in combat. Seemed like the M60's did ok. They did warn us about overheating the barrel. I never touched one...

I think that worrying about the fed coming to take your guns is more gray hairs for no reason. If you are planning on trying to overthrow the government then you should probably worry. If you are a law abiding citizen and just like guns. Hey that's cool. Guns are cool. Grouping 3 shots from150...
