then why haven't you advocated for a right to bear knives in the constitution? CreekDog Apr 2014 #17

No need to - I don't see people here trying to remove those rights, just some rights The Straight Story Apr 2014 #22

i see gun advocates argue over and over again for a ban on all cars CreekDog Apr 2014 #30

Simply to show how dumb the gun laws proposed are The Straight Story Apr 2014 #34

The list of dry counties is huge. NCTraveler Apr 2014 #62
