Fatal shooting at Denver screening of The Dark Knight Rises

[Phantasmal]

Are you going to continue asking the same questions over and over and ignoring the fact that we have already answered this?

Again... he chose to use guns. Why he did, I do not know for certain. Given what he stated, my guess is he was trying to emulate the joker (as he said he was). That said, it doesn't matter why he chose the guns. The point is that he could have just as easily chosen bombs. Which again means that blaming guns for this is not logical given that he could have simply chosen bombs if he did not have access to guns.

I am just copying your style of posting,asking the same question over and over when the answer doesn't fit my thinking, am I bothering you?

Show me where I have done so... link us up Rana... that is if you care to act like an adult again.

I am not the one suggesting that the Bill of Rights should be based on the technology of the 1770s. You did that.

We are merely suggesting that you cannot pick and choose which right gets held to teh standards of the 18th century and which do not.

I'm merely saying that if STY wants to interpret the Constitution as it was written, literally, then we should. There's lots of archaic references in the Constitution. Are we to take them literally to, or are we going to interpret them using what we know today?

 

[Phantasmal]

You'd have to ask him. I cannot imagine why he would want to kill people. So I certainly cannot imagine why he chose one method over another.

Sorry, I am trolling SF, it is my mood.

He used guns because they were easy! Easy to transport, ad they usually are highly effective. It would e nice to know his thought process. I live abnormal psychology!

Naw, it is too much fun emulating you! There are all kinds of examples, just read a thread between Drala and yourself!

The 2nd Amendment does not (oops) seem archaic to me. The SCOTUS has ruled that it is an individual right. I agree.

Lots of folks say they got the Obamacare ruling wrong. Maybe they got this one wrong too.

and if you can show me where the constitution or 2nd Amendment mentions only muskets, you might have a point. since it doesn't, you don't.

hand grenades are a hell of lot easier to transport than rifle or shotgun. and way more effective, so this renders your theory impotent.

Still can't find it, huh? Of course not; because they're not there.





If y'all want to literally interpret the Constitution, so be it. While you're at it, why don't you just take away the right to vote from women and blacks again and ship the buhlacks back to the plantations where they belong!

how should we interpret it? solely based on technology and ideas from the 1700's? answer the question howey. because that is essentially what you're saying. as to women and blacks, more faux ranting from you. no one remotely suggested any such thing.

or you can read the quotes i posted and acknowledge your failure.

Can you buy hand grenades over the internet as well?

According to STY, the citizens should have better arms than the government so presumably tanks, rockets and nuclear weapons are all covered by the second amendment.

the thing is, bombs would be easier to transport and they likely would have killed far more people. Especially if the bombs were made with ball bearings, nails etc...

Did he buy the guns over the internet?

as for the components for a bomb, yes... you can buy them over the internet.

Then discuss that with STY.

The SCOTUS has consistently ruled on it as an individual right, as opposed to a collective one.

The Founders wanted the citizenry to be as well armed as the army is what I have read on various gun sites, so this poses a good question.

 

[Damocles]

In order to believe this nonsense that it isn't a personal freedom one must very deliberately pretend that when they said "The People" in every other part of the constitution they meant something different than when they said "The People" in the Bill of Rights and if such is the case they must begin to interpret the constitution to mean that only specific "people", whatever "interpretation" you may have that accounts for that word, have the rights that we all believe we have granted by our Creator.

 

[Phantasmal]

No, they are illegal, unless they are disarmed, now this is perplexing because the infantry carries grenades and the intent of the Founding Fathers was, well, you know.
