Time to be "Well Regulated"? [View all] sellitman Jul 2012 OP

No fucking way. -..__... Jul 2012 #1

Getting rid of the '86 ban on new manufacture of fully automatic weapons would be a good start. Johnny Rico Jul 2012 #4

Sure sellitman Jul 2012 #6

And who has advocated such a position? Please, be *specific*. Johnny Rico Jul 2012 #9

How about the NRA leader himself? sellitman Jul 2012 #10

He said "someone", not "every man woman and child". Johnny Rico Jul 2012 #17

More guns in the theater? sellitman Jul 2012 #23

That's not the question at hand. You said: Johnny Rico Jul 2012 #25

You have created a straw man from my argument sellitman Jul 2012 #27

Your LaPierre quote is from a satire site! Johnny Rico Jul 2012 #28

Clearly? On what evidence? NewMoonTherian Jul 2012 #41

Can I just say that this is a pretty obvious attempt at trolling? rbixby Jul 2012 #71

Are you really citing that tripe as an actual quote from the NRA or lapierre? rl6214 Jul 2012 #24

Your link is from a satire site. You're not exactly covering yourself in credibility, here. Johnny Rico Jul 2012 #26

Gangs would agree with you. UnrepentantLiberal Jul 2012 #18

Legal owners of machine guns are the most responsible, law abiding gun owners Johnny Rico Jul 2012 #19

So you're for gun regulation. UnrepentantLiberal Jul 2012 #20

Some, yes. Less than we presently have, though. Johnny Rico Jul 2012 #22

Define "Less" please Scootaloo Jul 2012 #33

Sure. Repeal the '86 machine gun ban, '68 Gun Control Act, and '34 Gun Control Act. Johnny Rico Jul 2012 #40

So... Scootaloo Jul 2012 #43

I know what I want...! Forgot one, though: CCW reciprocity. Johnny Rico Jul 2012 #46

So, your position is basically identical to the most extreme RW policies of the NRA. baldguy Jul 2012 #48

Well? DiverDave Jul 2012 #53

Well, what? Johnny Rico Jul 2012 #57

You know that "Starship Troopers" was Heinlein's satire of fascism. baldguy Jul 2012 #69

Heinleins' book did not depict a facist society, nor was it satire. PavePusher Jul 2012 #70

Wow! I'm...I'm not really sure how to respond to this. baldguy Jul 2012 #73

I have to ask, does anyone else share your opinion? PavePusher Jul 2012 #75

Freedom is a liberal value, yes? I'm in favor of more of it. Johnny Rico Jul 2012 #56

Responsibility is a liberal value, too. It's sickeningly fascinating how RW extremists always avoid it. baldguy Jul 2012 #59

No comments if favor of responsibility from you? baldguy Jul 2012 #67

Militias are well regulated RegieRocker Jul 2012 #2

There's a fine liberal thinker, there. baldguy Jul 2012 #49

Freedom is a liberal value, yes? Johnny Rico Jul 2012 #55

Heinlein's was well known as a LIBERTARIAN nadinbrzezinski Jul 2012 #62

Responsibility is a liberal value, too. baldguy Jul 2012 #63

I'm pretty sure that if you've read any Heinlein... PavePusher Jul 2012 #76

Why is it that RWers must always appeal to some authority? baldguy Jul 2012 #77

I am thinking for myself. PavePusher Jul 2012 #78

You're not appealing to authority... baldguy Jul 2012 #81

No comments if favor of responsibility from you? baldguy Jul 2012 #68

Did Heinlein oppose conscription thucythucy Jul 2012 #79

There is no good rational choice here. stevebreeze Jul 2012 #13

So explain it to me then. Llewlladdwr Jul 2012 #32

There ya go, just ignore that phrase and arm up. Hoyt Jul 2012 #34

I'm not ignoring it at all. Llewlladdwr Jul 2012 #35

Read Stevens' Dissent in Heller, you'll understand. Won't admit it though. Hoyt Jul 2012 #36

So, you can't explain it then? NT Llewlladdwr Jul 2012 #37

Okay, I've read the dissent. Llewlladdwr Jul 2012 #45

Why is a well-regulated Militia even mentioned? AndyA Jul 2012 #39

The Militia is mentioned because the neccessity for one is the reason the right of the people to Llewlladdwr Jul 2012 #44

Outlaw guns but substitute Shankapotomus Jul 2012 #51
