Lax gun laws prove deadly in the U.S.

Everybody has mental problems of varying degrees. Who decides who is more mental than the next guy? I doubt it can be said that our politicians are the best and brightest among us, so if they are the ones making decisions, we are all FUBARED. Perhaps some day in the far distant future we will have law makers who have integrity. Until then we should have a well armed population to protect us from them.

That's why we won't let go of the 2nd Amendment so freely, it is all we have for protection.

It is one of the few things I admire about the US. Too bad we don't have one similar.

Accepted, thank you.


Free from what? Free from foreign oppressors? Free from an oppressive government? Neither of these is what modern gun owners want which is to carry their guns always as a form of un-coordinated self policing society which has never been mentioned.


Did the Chairman really say that? I can not find that quote in a quick Google search.



Now you are trying to confuse me, I thought the phrase did not guarantee anything but merely stated that an existing right would not be "infringed".
