My thoughts on people who argue that they have the right to carry a gun II

"You're damn right you do! Rock on!!!"

Good day

1. K&R....excellent thread my friend.

[damntexdem]

2. No, the NRA has convinced idiots in legislatures (and the SCOTUS) to allow it.

Someday America may come to its senses and reject such nonsense.

[RSillsbee]

4. I'm pretty sure there was no NRA when these were written

Second Amendment US Constitution

A well regulated militia being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the People to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed.

Article 2 Colorado Constitution
Colorado: The right of no person to keep and bear arms in defense of his home, person and property, or in aid of the civil power when thereto legally summoned, shall be called in question; but nothing herein contained shall be construed to justify the practice of carrying concealed weapons. Art. II, § 13 (enacted 1876, art. II, § 13).

16. I am just as sure they were not involved when this was written.

Texas constitution of 1876.

SEC. 23. Every citizen shall have the right to keep and bear arms in the lawful defense of himself or the State; but the Legislature shall have power by law to regulate the wearing of arms with a view to prevent crime.

Texas constitution of 1869

SECTION XIII. Every person shall have the right to keep and bear arms, in the lawful defence of himself or the State, under such regulations as the Legislature may prescribe.

Texas constitution of 1845

SEC. 13. Every citizen shall have the right to keep and bear arms in the lawful defence of himself of the State.

22. I don't picture 'a well regulated militia' to be every adult nt

6. Yep, it was the NRA that said

“Laws that forbid the carrying of arms...disarm only those who are neither inclined nor determined to commit crimes...Such laws make things worse for the assaulted and better for the assailants; they serve rather to encourage than to prevent homicides, for an unarmed man may be attacked with greater confidence than an armed man.”

Oh wait a sec, that wasn't the NRA, Hell that was way before they were even around. It was Thomas Jefferson that said that. Please disregard

8. They even convinced our "stupid" President as well

Even that "fool" Obama believes it's an individual right.

Pretty dumb guy to fall for that stupid NRA propaganda,, right? Not nearly as smart as you are, obviously.

[ileus]

14. Not without the support of the American people.

[TheWraith]

19. You sound like the people who think someday they'll be able to overturn Roe vs. Wade.

Lecturing everyone else on the great harm to social morality, and insisting that one day you'll be proven right.

17. How is "Rock On!" not a complete sentence?

Is the imperative no longer predication?

18. I hope the anti-gun movement is hinging on more than just criticizing the grammar

of the opposition.

People who are easily offended, or who are not accustomed to having their opinions (including deeply personal convictions) challenged may not feel entirely comfortable here. A thick skin is necessary to participate on this or any other discussion forum.

27. I didn't alert on you dude

I couldn't care less about your opinion of me or my grammar. The only thing I alert on is if you (generic)use "gun nut" or call someone a freeper.
