    FIFY . . .

    A bunch of people with firearms is decidedly NOT an Army. It is one thing to gaze on the remains of a "kill" in the woods. It is quite another when said "kill" was talking to you about the Super Bowl two minutes ago.

    We should probably all abandon the right that defines our freedom because of the occasional wacko.

    Wait, I thought the occasional wacko was the reason we should have concealed weapons. Or is it those sneaky Communists/Muslims? I'm so confused.

    Yeah, so a few 9 year old girls get shot in the face at supermarkets. It's more important that we have a redneck symbol of our freedom. Plus, you know, hunting and stuff.

    You're right. Freedom is relatively unimportant. And being able to defend one's self from others meaning harm is just a "redneck symbol".

    you make a good point. I remember a few nutjobs that ran people over with their cars in a bloody rampage. obviously the only logical answer is to ban cars. man, we're gonna need a lot of tow trucks.

    If Scalia were honest, and only allowed the technology contemplated by the Framers in 1791, then a musket is all ye should have.

    That is a very interesting thought . . . we license car drivers/owners right? Some states even make them carry insurance in case of "accidents", right? Hmmm . . .

    The Framers were surely too dumb to think that there would be any advancements in weapons technology. Since they saw no need for people to defend themselves against their own government, they obviously would have only wanted the government (and not the people) to benefit from those advancements.

    and we license gun owners, at least in my state. and there's a waiting period and a background check. as with car drivers, a few crazies slip thru the cracks.

    Assault rifles and automatic hand guns should be permitted, because sometimes the hunter has to shoot the deer more then once, and the quicker the hunter kills it, the better.

    But, do you make them carry extra insurance to cover "accidents"?

    I've never really understood the whole "protect ourselves against the government" thing anyway. Seriously, if the government gets so bad (like, say Palin was elected President)...just move! No need to start a war a get a bunch of people killed over it.

    It's a mound of dirt, run by a bunch of idots, with a relatively sad and shameful past. If this place goes to shit I'm not taking up arms to get it back. It's not worth my time tbh. Plus, Australia is f'ing calling and they dont tax poker winnings.
