Explain why the NRA buys Senators and Congressman
If the unions can buy senators, why can't we?
Explain why the NRA buys Senators and Congressman
Do you feel infringed upon by their prohibitive price point?
Our culture of violence, worship of war, equating weapons with strength and reason with weakness... and most of all.... the mis-interpretation of the 2nd Amendment.
The mis-interpretation of the 2nd amendment ?....are you seriously gonna try to tell us the 2nd Amendment has been mis-interpretated for almost 250 years ???
and you've finally come along to tell us what it really, really means ?
If the unions can buy senators, why can't we?
No, it has only been "misinterpreted" since the Roberts Court, the prior 225 years the Court got it right, it was Scalia's Court that threw out all the prior precedents and decided to go on their own
Didn't I mention, gun huggers don't understand the Constitution nor even the Second Amendmemt they supposedly worship?
Guns are already regulated, hand guns are responsible for the vast majority of gun homicides not the so called "assault weapons," when you people say gun reform and regulation we all know what you really mean are gun bans and as per usual you intend to use the corpses of dead children as your soap box to push your anti-Constitutional agenda.
That wasn't an insult, truth, have you ever seen an arguement supporting guns that falls outside of the parameters I noted above?
And gun huggers don't want to address guns, conservatives are more interested in spreading guns, look at the gun carry reciprocal legislation they just snuck thru the House, they have no interest in any measure of any kind that could help alleviate gun violence or school shootings if it means taking a serious look at regulating weapons, weapons of any kind
As I said, pointless
How in the hell does "boys in girls bathrooms" cause someone to purchase an AK15 to massacre seventeen kids in a school?
You must validated my point about exchanging with gun huggers on gun reform is a waste of time
Bullshit as always you sick fucks were here on day one using the corpses of dead children as your soap box to spout your anti-Constitutional agenda, get fucked.
Calling people "gun huggers" isn't an insult? I'll bet you thought the "basket of deplorables" comment from Hillary was, el mucho no problemo.
i can name at least one Supreme Court case that specifically lists the right to bear arms as an individual right, can you?
Yeah, Heller, previous cases couldn't get beyond the prefatory clause, but Scalia thought it would be alright to just skip over it, and then he told America he was a strict constructionist
This is how the anti-gun crowd uses data to show how evil and dangerous guns are.
"Assault by firearm is the 10th most likely cause of death in the USA, with the odds at 1 in 300. Not particularly helpful by itself, without some context.
The kinds of things that are more likely to kill you include heart disease, #1 at 1 in 6, cancer #2 and 1 in 7, stroke, #3 at 1 in 28, and suicide, #5 at 1 in 115. All of these you can do something about, especially if you're in a high risk category.
Accidental poisoning (#6 at 1 in 139) and accidental falls (#7 at 1 in 184) are remarkably more likely than most people think, given how little thought we given them.
Your risk of dying from a car accident is just a little greater than getting killed by firearm, at #8, 1 in 272. This is obviously also one where you can move yourself into a low risk category (wear a seat belt, and the four don'ts: speed, dui, drive while tired, or drive while distracted).
#9 almost seems like it should go with the suicide category, but with a 1 in 289 risk of dying from drug use it is clearly a category that's easy to avoid being a part of.
Which means that, excluding the most common natural causes of death and various kinds of accidents and means of self-harm, guns are the single most likely reason for you to die in the USA. Yay!"
So never mind that you are more likely to die of other causes if you discount those facts guns become the #1 killer. What great thinkers the anti-gun folks are.

wrong again. how can you claim to understand the constitution, bill of rights, and the law when you don't even know your court cases? on top of that, the dozens of commentaries and statements from both delegates as well as popular journalists of the time to ratification and after clearly denote that the right is individual.
they don't understand the Constitution, the Bill of Rights, nor the Supreme Court rulings on the Second Amendment. They generalize the whole concept of freedom, taking an complex abstraction and reducing it to a cliche that would fit a bumper sticker
They all think regulating guns means the AFT is coming to their door to confiscate their toys, they deflect with the same debunked statistical "arguments" advanced by the NRA, repeat the lame talking points they've heard from the demogogues, anticipate Attila and the Huns are planning to break in to their house, and see themselves as Chuck Norris rather than the more applicable Barny Fife
It's pointless, one of the major reasons we have 30,000+ Americans die from guns every year, and what now seems as kids getting shot in schools every other month, it has become as American as apple pie
Maybe cause the Unions purpose isn't to protect that which kills people, and kills them in large numbers quickly
Aren't they? It's a religion to them, love affair, regardless of any rational arguement they cling to myths and propaganda that are irrelevant, peddled by gun manufactures making a buck off dead kids, I could have come up with really derogatory descriptions of I wanted to insult
YOU'RE A FOOL THAT PRETENDS YOU'RE IN THE KNOW, PRETENDING WHAT THE CONSTITUTION AND THE BILL OF RIGHTS SAYS
ON AND ON. ANOTHER REWRIGHTER OF HISTORY YOU'RE FULL OF SHIT TRYING TO MANIPULATE EVERYTHING TO FIT YOUR WANTS AND DESIRES GO SEW BUTTONS ON YOUR UNDERWARE WILL YA.
BY THE WAY WHEN DO WE START TAKING THINGS FROM LAW ABIDING CITIZENS WHEN IT'S PROVED THAT CRAZY,
MENTALLY ILL PEOPLE ARE DOING WHATEVER THEY ARE DOING. IT'S IDIOTS LIKE YOU THAT WILL BE THE CATALYST TO THE UNDERMINING OF THE CONSTITUTION WHICH IS PROBABLY WHAT YOUR GOAL IS ANYWAY
