    That's only because they lie to you and tell you that you are; when in reality you are and always have been, nothing more then chattel.

    SEDITION: incitement of resistance to or insurrection against lawful authority.

    Now, here's an idea.

    Try educating yourself, BEFORE you decide to comment.

    Why aren't you worried about that?
    Over 35,000 auto deaths a year.
    Did you write your Congressman demanding safety standards for cars inprove.
    Over 1500 police shooting deaths per year.
    Should the police lose their guns?
    Do you even know anyone shot by a non-criminal?
    5 of my pals decided to share an apartment in Manhattan. They all came back in coffins having been shot to death in their apartment in the city with the strickest gun laws in the country.
    It is the responsibility of every American citizen to own a modern military rifle.

    I see you appear to be trying to equate the 40,000 suicides with firearms, when that number isn't even close.

    Were you convicted of the murders or did you get off scot free?

    Guns are far more regulated than cars

    How do you plan to amend the Constitution to accomplish this? I fully support the Dems making the abolishment of guns a top priority. You should make it a part of your official party platform. Get busy and make it happen Cap'n. Or are you all bluster and no action?

    Yep, she is likely in illegal possession of a bunch of unregistered guns but thinks no one else should own legal guns.
    Libs are hypocritical on guns.

    Try reading my post slower, maybe you will figure out what my point actually is.

    Why would you comment then?
    Give Billy a PM as he suggested.
    He will help you sort out the mess you are in and do it legally. I would help you but he lives in your state and knows all the intricacies involved.

    Huh? Are you confusing me with someone else? I'm not in any "mess" nor concerned about whatever "legally" you're talking about. Who is Billy anyways?
