You want to smoke some pot tonight? How difficult do you think it is to find it? But it's illegal to manufacture, distribute or possess the drug, correct? But anyone can walk into a novelty shop and buy a "water pipe."<BR/><BR/>We can debate all day what we think the second amendment means. I have my opinion and you have yours. But that's someone else's job. Oh, and militias aren't illegal.<BR/><BR/>Prohibition didn't work.<BR/>The war on drugs didn't work.<BR/>There are more than 20,000 laws already regulating guns (many which aren't enforced). I mean, what's one more?<BR/><BR/>I could go on and on and on... but I at least have respect for you because you out-right wrote your intentions. :)Aaronhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00584354669062073865noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36379445.post-74530091015731595572007-04-23T14:19:00.000-04:002007-04-23T14:19:00.000-04:00a lot of the things that pyschopath (from VTech) b...a lot of the things that pyschopath (from VTech) bought, were from ebay, can you imagine?<BR/><BR/>there's a lot of work to be done as far as gun "control"... <BR/><BR/>for those that say "guns don't kill, people do".. well, no shit right... but using guns is a coward's way out.. if you have an issue, take it up in the boxing ring.. we'll see WHO wins...Whine Girlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09036599717915379094noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36379445.post-65814240201492335902007-04-23T12:43:00.000-04:002007-04-23T12:43:00.000-04:00My first thought on reading your post is "Well giv...My first thought on reading your post is "Well given the fact that almost everyone and their brother (in the South at least) alreadly legally owns a gun or three, practically speaking how can we now take those guns away without spending millions of dollars, law enforcement time, etc. on prosecuting people who are otherwise not criminals?" My impluse reaction is that a war on guns would end up like the war on drugs (with college kids getting prosecuted for smoking pot rather than the big drug dealers) but instead (otherwise) law abiding citizens being arrested for owning their handguns, deer hunting rifle, etc. rather than the people who are really a threat to society. So I'm looking forward to your installments as maybe you've got some ideas on this matter. I've not given this the type of thought you have, and I appreciate your passion for the subject.Allyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01816929643644946388noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36379445.post-8125987318915818782007-04-23T12:23:00.000-04:002007-04-23T12:23:00.000-04:00Wisdom from the Simpsons:Lisa: The second amendme...Wisdom from the Simpsons:<BR/><BR/>Lisa: The second amendment is just a remnant from revolutionary periods, it has no real meaning today.<BR/><BR/>Homer: You couldn't be more wrong Lisa. If I didn't have this gun the King of England could just come in here and start pushing you around. Do you want that, well do ya?<BR/><BR/>Honestly though, I believe that from cars to guns to Plutonium one should be able to obtain whatever they want given the right amount of training and regulation. I have to register my car and have a license to drive it. And were I to want Plutonium the regulations would be much more stringent and I'd need a facility to store it. And I couldn't get it until those regulations were met. Guns need to be regulated as well, which they are. If your problem is with that regulation, how would you improve it?<BR/><BR/>Note: Of those items listed, guns are the only ones that's intended use is to make things dead.GreenLineBoyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08103289080586577094noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36379445.post-76535102322345417142007-04-23T12:22:00.000-04:002007-04-23T12:22:00.000-04:00yeah...obviously the Supremes don't agree with you...yeah...obviously the Supremes don't agree with your interpretation of the 2nd amendment, but Scalia would love your "just read the words" approach. <BR/><BR/>There is no debate here. You can't stop drugs and you can't stop guns. But yet, we somehow seem to debate these stalemate issues.
