    Reform will, and is beginning, on the State and local level, look at the States today that have stricter gun laws and the majority also have less gun violence, and the opposite is also true, which is fine, let them slaughter each other with their toys
    We had a ban on assault weapons (semi-automatic) and several states have those bans today (CT) that have not reduced any crime.

    Maybe Stone would feel safer if everyone was forced to live in a facility, guarded by the Government, and only allowed to work at Government guarded jobs; seeing as how SOME people commit crimes.

    There are 250 to 280 million firearms.
    Do the math.

    Next time compare Costa Rica with the US.
    If you look at the various rates of homicide from all causes vs gun control laws, you will find there really is correlation at all. Gun control laws do not reduce homicide rates, and availability of guns do not increase them.

    In Lousiana, for example, they have few gun control laws there, and the homicide rate is pretty high. In Alaska, the homicide rate is quite low, and they have even few gun control laws there as well.
    In California, where gun control laws are quite strong, homicide rates there are not as high as Louisiana, but they are quite a bit higher than Alaska.

    The same thing happens internationally.

    If people want to kill each other, they will do so, whether they have access to guns or not.

    The United States enjoys a fairly low homicide rate, yet has millions of guns available. Canada has strict gun control laws, and also enjoys a low homicide rate.
    Switzerland actually requires private gun ownership, yet they enjoy a very low homicide rate. Honduras also has easy access to guns, and they suffer a very high homicide rate.


    The idea that gun control laws reduce homicide is falsified. The idea that easy access to guns reduces or increases homicide rates is also falsified.

    The liberty to carry a weapon to defend yourself of your own choosing.

    The Constitution of the United States IS absolute. The federal government has NO power to ignore it or change it. The 2nd amendment applies to all States as well. No State has the authority to ignore the 2nd amendment without essentially leaving the Union and ceasing to be a State at all.
    Guns can NOT be legally regulated by the federal government, any State, any county, or any city. The 2nd amendment is absolute and clear. It describes two rights, both of which are natural rights, and specifically prohibits any government from interfering with it.

    The ban on machine guns is illegal. The 2nd amendment does NOT list arms by type of action on them. The bans on the AR-15 are illegal. The 2nd amendment does NOT list arms by type. The ban on magazine size is illegal. The 2nd amendment does NOT list magazine size.

    Unless a constitution specifically gives a government the power to regulate something, it does NOT have that power!

    To answer your question, liberty IS about freedom.

    Definition of liberty (Merriam Webster)

    (Entry 1 of 2)
    1 : the quality or state of being free:
    a : the power to do as one pleases
    b : freedom from physical restraint
    c : freedom from arbitrary or despotic (see despot sense 1) control
    d : the positive enjoyment of various social, political, or economic rights and privileges
    e : the power of choice

    While dictionaries do not define words, they do document how people define and use them to a certain degree. Dictionaries are useful in this way, but they are not authoritative over any word.


    You are making the argument yet again that the Constitution is a 'living document'. That it's meaning changes with the times. This is FALSE. A constitution that 'changes' in this way doesn't effectively exist. A constitution can ONLY be changed by the owners of the constitution (for the federal constitution, that would be the States), and ONLY in the manner described in the Constitution itself.

    Oh, shut the fuck up. "....shall not be infringed", is pretty unambiguous. It doesn't say, ".....can be infringed under certain circumstances", you dumb fuck.

    You might ask yourself that question. You are projecting again. Some do. Wars have started that way.

    We're not allowed to smoke in public schools. Is that a good law? In my opinion, yes. I don't see that as being punished, I see that as having a common sense law.
    You are STILL forgetting the example I made with the cook with the knife. Get yer head out of the sand.

    The point is that limiting a person's rights is not always a punishment.
    WRONG. The United States is a federated republic. It has constitutions. New Zealand is a "constitutional monarchy". It has no effective constitution. It is an oligarchy. That oligarchy can change it's "constitution" on a whim at any time.

    But upon more consideration, is it safe to say that you want to take cars away from others; just because some drink and drive??

    And what about children / should we remove the right for people to have children; because some people abuse children??

    Where does your hypocrisy, regarding "safety", reach it's limits??
    He is intentionally trying his best to ignore this argument. He is chanting like a religious fanatic.

    Gun control, the Church of Global Warming, the Church of Green, and the Church of the Ozone Hole ALL stem from the Church of Karl Marx. All of these religions are fundamentalist in nature. They ignore anything that goes against their religion.

    I wonder where Stone ran off to; but seeing as how he failed so miserably in his attempt(s), maybe he needed time in his safe place to recuperate and do his daily affirmation.

    You are not making any points. Fallacies are invalid arguments simply by their own construct. They are errors in logic, just like a math error.

    But he says he wants to have a discussion.

    Quite right. He is lying. He doesn't want to have a discussion. He wants to prove his religion. He cares not for anyone's opinions or arguments other than his own chanting. He is a member of the Church of Gun Control, and through it, a member of the Church of Karl Marx.
