    He doesn't know anything about guns. That's obvious. Yet he wants to dictate which ones are appropriate for any specific purpose, and he wants to dictate which ones to ban because 'they server no legitimate purpose'.

    He wants to be King.

    Yet you suggested doing exactly that. I'll consider you locked in paradox on this issue. You are going to have to clear this paradox before you can be rational about it. The only way to clear a paradox is choose one of the conflicting arguments and utterly reject the other. So which is it going to be?

    Don't think so.

    The U.S. government has no authority to ban any weapon because of the type of action it has. There is no such authority given in the Constitution. The 2nd amendment certainly doesn't mention it.

    Heller himself didn't say any such thing.

    No such ruling was made. Gun regulation was not even part of the case.

    Gun regulation is illegal, but that was not brought up as the reason for the lawsuit.

    But neither sperm nor egg can develop into a human being on their own. Yes, they are both living cells, but they cannot reproduce another human being until conception. Then, and only then, does the resulting cell have the necessary chromosome count and DNA to make a human being.

    You bring up the classical question: Which came first, the chicken or the egg?

    You say life began a trillion years ago. How do you know? Were you there? Do you truly understand the problems associated with the Theory of Abiogenesis?

    Even though Stone hasn't admitted it; it does appear that he believes if it's harder for a law abiding citizen to possess a firearm, then the criminal element will just disappear.

    Well put. This is exactly how many of them view homicides.

    They also just count homicides. Sometimes the homicide is justified. There IS a right to self defense, even if it results in killing of another human being.

    Some people just need shootin'.

    In the womb, of course, the umbilical cord takes place of oxygenating the blood. Therefore, no brain is necessary to pump that blood through the developing body. As long as the mother is breathing, the fetus gets oxygenated blood and no brain is required because breathing is not necessary.

    Heart muscle cells will naturally start twitching at regular intervals. If one touches another heart muscle cell, they will synchronize and twitch together. As the heart develops, a few cells take the role of pacemaker and produce the master twitch on their own. This is all you need to make a heart beat. As long as the muscle cells receive oxygen and nourishment, they will continue to beat completely on their own without any brain.

    A brain can adjust heartbeat rate, but it is not necessary to make a heart beat.
    It may be "rudimentary" brain activity; but without something telling the heart to beat, it wouldn't.

    Otherwise why do people who have no noticeable brain activity, need to be on life support to keep the heart working?

    Correct and that's why I included the phrase "readily available".

    Try to educate yourself so you don’t publicly humiliate yourself.

    Scalia said:

    The late justice also more generally offered the belief that “like most rights, the right secured by the Second Amendment is not unlimited.” It is “not a right to keep and carry any weapon whatsoever in any manner whatsoever and for whatever purpose.” For instance, Scalia said concealment laws were permitted at the time of the Constitution’s ratification and should be permitted today.

    Do you have a link for those stats? I would love to take a look at them, if I may.

    So Into the Night was correct and no such ruling was made; because what you've posted was an OPINION.

    Thanks for playing.
