Yes, the Founding Fathers who supported the Bill of Rights, Thomas Jefferson, Ben Franklin, . . . and numerous others (look it up - I'm not going to bother posting them. You didn't even read or respond to the Harvard article because it didnt fit your viewpoint, so why should I bother.) - - - - all of these great men who warned us 200 years ago - - - were conspiracy nuts ! :eek:
200 years ago was 200 years ago. That was then, this is now. Didn't the original Constitution also allow slavery? Please tell me what is the point, as you understand it, of "disarming the citizenry," as you so charmingly put it?
How many guns are within a 10 foot radious of Obama protecting him each day? If Obama feels that HIS LIFE is worth protecting via the presense of firearms then why isn't mine? White American's aren't stupid. We know darn well that we're a minimal murderous threat. Hell I can go weeks at a time without reading of a white committing murder in Miami or Chicago-so to tell white America that they should give up their guns while Brown America shoots up everything in site is more than disingenuous. Chicago has had HANDGUN prohibition since I think 1989. Twenty friggin' years and STILL Chicago routinely leads the U.S. in shooting deaths. The ineffectualness of gun laws should be obvious to anyone with a brain greater than the size of a pea. If 10 years for armed robbery or if capital punishment for murder isn't enough of a deterrent to the criminally inclined why would a bad guy quake in his boots over a short sentence for possession of a firearm?
That is perhaps the most nonsensical argument I have read today. When you grasp at straws, you do so with manly vigor.
If you are so insecure and fearful of being killed or attacked, simply hire an armed private security detail to protect you. You can afford that, right? Still stuck on the racist stuff, eh? Old dog, no new tricks. Oh, and we have laws on the books against drunk driving for a while now...they are bad laws because people still drive drunk? They are ineffective prevention tools because of the laws...or because we have an alcoholic society that refuses to not drink and drive?
What an elitist response - - so typical of rich libs. Just do a search on Congressional anti-gunners - - - with carry permits because they "need the protection". Laws and rights are for the peons, not for them. What are you going to say next - "Let them eat cake." ?
Quote from Pa(b)st Prime: "How many guns are within a 10 foot radious of Obama protecting him each day? If Obama feels that HIS LIFE is worth protecting via the presense of firearms then why isn't mine?" And your response is the most nonsensical I've read today. When YOU grasp at straws, YOU do so with girlie man vigor. Oh and don't flatter yourself, NO I'm not stalking you.
