My fear is that: King Georgies Boys, The Hessians, The Spanish,The Damn Krauts, The pesky Japs, The Stormtroopers, The VC Al-Qaida will come marching down my street any day now. You really don't want me to give up my weapons, you want me on that fence, you need me on that fence. The truth is, well YOU CAN'T HANDLE THE TRUTH!!!!!  The truth is that the right to bear arms has very, very little to do with The Japs, etc, etc... What happened to the MFAWG that "When you meet me, you'll realize that sarcasm and irony are the canvasses I work in"  I was being sarcaustic. 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.I know it's not as black and white as it appears, and I sure as hell ain't smart enough to get into a discussion on what the founding fathers were thinking when they drafted the Constitution, and just who the free state was supposed to regulating a militia for, and what exactly they thought a militia was, but what it's really morphed into is that I have guns and the crack head snoop dogg mofo the next block over has guns, and if he decides sometime to get jiggy with it and come into my house looking for whatever, his guns better be bigger than my guns and he better be really quick on the draw 'cuz I've got two notches on it and my head is clear. It ain't pretty but it is what it is, and it's life in America 2007. Unfortunately life in America 2007 still allows for psychos to get a hold of weapons and kill innocent men, women and children, and I'm sorry for that, I could click my heels and wish things were different but it ain't gonna change a thing. |

The US really needs some gun laws.
Australia has very strict gun laws, so hopefully it is not so easy for a gun to get in the hands of "nutcases".
It is a privilege, not a right to hold a gun license over here.
The black market makes it pretty easy to get your hands on things that are illegal. It's already too widespread here so I don't think that strict gun laws would inhibit the criminals as much as many would like to believe. It's a privilege and not just a right over here, too. I grew up thinking that way because there are other countries that have removed guns from the hands of law abiding citizens (as well as, hopefully, the criminals). I feel extremely blessed and privileged to have the freedoms and rights that I do. |

That's the reason we have 9 justices on the bench of the Supreme Court. Well, it's actually Roberts' flip-flop in the Depression Era that preserved the number nine. Otherwise, they'd have had enough for full-court ball with alternates. |

And again, the reality of living in America 2007 has forced me to carry my .38 almost everywhere I go because of "nutcases". It just is what it is Julie, with 300 million people you're going to get a few dogs that don't play well with the rest of the pack, with all due respect it still is probably the best place in the world to live, I can say that having the life experience of having traveled around the world, well...half way, our amendments are in place for a reason, it may not be perfect but then again nothing is. |

I think it is really strange how an 18 year old boy, can bear arms and die for his country, but the poor bastard isn't allowed to have a beer until he is 21!!
