So relative to your comment in Japanese internment (certainly a very dark stain on our history) do you think things would have turned out better...
Even if that is true (and it could be), it is not the case today. and no one has replied to the question of "at what point would you take up arms...
Just as an example (you brought it up) outlawing semi-automatic weapons would not be outlawing all weapons. If you are hunting a single show rile...
Yes and I covered that as well. It worked as they both had the same weapons.
Again these cases should be (and hopefully are being) taken to court. Arming both sides isn't the answer to this.
That IS the study I referred to. From its conclusion " Our estimates that at least 50% of male and female wealthholders owned guns in 1774...
OK, point taken. I think your situation is very different from the vast majority of the population. Personally I'm very glad I don't live more...
I don't really think the left wants to remove the right to own a weapon, just to regulate it. That claim is just something the NRA likes to push...
OK, I'm not aware of that. Can you offer a link? I would say the obvious resolution is to take this to court, not get out your guns. So was it?
This https://scholarship.law.wm.edu/cgi/viewcontent.cgi?referer=&httpsredir=1&article=1489&context=wmlr offers the heist rate I could find its...
Perhaps you are that rare individual how objectively can asset their motives. But I'm skeptical (nothing personal) since humans are just not very...
My OP was about why the 2nd amendment generates so much fervor while the 1st much less so. You are a prime example. You just responded as if I...
Yes, but how does that apply to the US in 2020?
Very true. sorry for being late to the party I started. I screwed up my motivation settings.
I'm not sure the references to China, USSR, ... apply to the US in 2020. I agree it is our courts that defend the constitution. We've had 200+...
I do live in CA. Please tell me how my free speech is restricted. I'm guessing that the protest in Berkeley you mention was protesting decisions...
Indeed it IS very hard to amend any amendments. I'm NOT proposing that we do so, I'm asking why the 2nd ammendmentgets so much more attention...
I did in the new members thread. Sorry for the delay I missed the email settings so I didn't get any notice that anyone replied.
According to a Harvard University analysis 0.9 percent of crimes involve defense with a handgun. So its pretty rare. Does the number of gun...
What about that statement are you questioning? If you can be more specific I'll be happy to support what I said.
If you have a point to make, then why not make it? In answer to your question the US is a constitutional republic.
If you want to post out an error in my post please do so. Just hurling insults seems rather pointless.
This is just the sort of rhetoric I'd like to avoid. How does the 2nd protect the 1st? Under what circumstance would you be prepared to take up...
Was just browsing around for a forum to discuss some 2nd amendment issues and thought I'd try this one out (though that is not its priory focus)....
I often see very heated reaction to any suggestion about restricting the right of gun ownership (overturning Heller or requiring universe...
