Since When has the ACLU become responsible for making and interpreting the law? Funny, I thought it was the judicial branch of the government that was supposed to do that. Oh, I can quote also:

BJean: The same argument can be made for outlawing freedom of speech, press, etc. As far as ONE man here are a few more snippets from our founding fathers: And as far as "times are different" (not a quote but a paraphrase of yourself) What country was first to have complete gun control? Your right! Nazi Germany! Fact Time!!! Laurend: What part of “shall not be infringed” do you not understand? Have you ever read the US Constitution? Please direct your attention to the following: That, is the Tenth Amendment in case you were wondering. The federal government can't impose gun control (or any "law" really) upon states and a damn good thing too.

All guns are meant to kill:rolleyes: :tired

Qui custodiet ipsos custodes? The constitution was written by Thomas Jefferson, lets see what he has to say on the subject! "The constitutions of most of our States assert that all power is inherent in the people; that... it is their right and duty to be at all times armed." --Thomas Jefferson to John Cartwright, 1824. ME 16:45 "No freeman shall be debarred the use of arms (within his own lands or tenements)." --Thomas Jefferson: Draft Virginia Constitution (with his note added), 1776. Papers 1:353 "None but an armed nation can dispense with a standing army. To keep ours armed and disciplined is therefore at all times important." --Thomas Jefferson to -----, 1803. ME 10:365 In a nation governed by the people themselves, the possession of arms to defend their nation against usurpers within and without was deemed absolutely necessary. This right is protected by the 2nd Amendment to the Constitution. A gun was an everyday implement in early American society, and Jefferson recommended its use. "A strong body makes the mind strong. As to the species of exercises, I advise the gun. While this gives moderate exercise to the body, it gives boldness, enterprise and independence to the mind. Games played with the ball, and others of that nature, are too violent for the body and stamp no character on the mind. Let your gun, therefore, be the constant companion of your walks." --Thomas Jefferson to Peter Carr, 1785. ME 5:85, Papers 8:407 (italics added by myself)

I`ve decided, after much thinking, and some drinking, to become a Democrat. They`ve made great strides in the last few years to place us in a better position in the world, make our economy stronger, and give us as individuals a powerful voice. Great men and women who aspire to help us think better by regulating what we think and by firing and/or destroying anyone who makes us think differently. They make us free by letting us do what they tell us to. Can`t be simpler than that! Also, their motto "Do As We Say, Not As We Do" gives us a daily aim for our lives... our mistakes are inexcusable if they are not in alignment with the party - and why would we want to stray from that? A stern letter of disappointment will help us if we err. And finally, and most valuably, they`ve taught me to embrace my enemy. Why fight and be miserable when I can adopt a hostile nation and their culture into my life. Hey, hummus on crackers isn`t too bad, and Camels make great pets. At least I won`t be in danger until tomorrow, Abdul tells me. Arabic is tough to learn, but in order to assimilate, I`ll take the extra time. It`ll be safer for all of us in the long run just to kneel. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . Awwwwww, who am I kidding? APRIL FOOLS!!

Brrrrrr...Nicole Richie, I think I had a nightmare once about her and her ilk.

Well I can't deny, "nappy headed hos" was pretty out there, not really acceptable language for public broadcast ..And now Imus has been suspended for his comments, pending possible further action. That`ll teach you, whitey! How can one NOT be racist when watching this double standard occur? I`ll remember this when I see the "cracker" comments and all of the "blacks do it better" comments on prime-time TV...unabated. What a joke this all is really. Racists calling racists, well, RACIST.

but jesus still loves you! (tongue firmly in cheek) i'm...uh...gonna go hide now...gottagoseeyalater bye!!!

Snopes is almost as much of a joke as the urban legends they try to debunk. laurend's info and graphs from: http://www.guninformation.org/ Do you plagiarize for your college papers as well? tsk tsk

In 1996, Australia adopted draconian gun control laws banning certain guns (60 percent of all firearms), requiring registration of all firearms and licensing of all gun owners. One year after gun-owners were forced to surrender 640,381 personal firearms to be destroyed, including semi-automatic .22 rifles and shotguns, a program costing the government over 500 million dollars, the results are in... A dramatic increase in criminal activity has been experienced. Gun control advocates respond "Just wait... we'll be safer... you'll see...". OBSERVABLE FACT, AFTER 12 MONTHS OF DATA: Australia-wide, homicides are up 3.2% Australia-wide, assaults are up 8.6% Australia-wide, armed-robberies are up 44% (yes, FORTY-FOUR PERCENT) In the state of Victoria, homicides-with-firearms are up 300% Figures over the previous 25 years show a steady decrease in homicides-with-firearms (changed dramatically in the past 12 months) Figures over the previous 25 years show a steady decrease in armed-robbery-with-firearms (changed dramatically in the past 12 months) There has been a dramatic increase in breakins-and-assaults-of- the-elderly At the time of the ban, the Prime Minister said "self-defense is not a reason for owning a firearm" From 1910 to present, homicides in Australia had averaged about 1.8-per-100,000 or lower, a safe society by any standard. The ban has destroyed Australia's standings in some international sport shooting competitions The membership of the Australian Sports Shooting Association has risen to 112,000, a 200% increase, in response to the ban and as an attempt to organize against further controls, which are expected. Australian politicians are on the spot and at a loss to explain how no improvement in "safety" has been observed after such monumental effort and expense was successfully expended in "ridding society of guns". Their response has been to "wait longer".

But how many of those 14.24 deaths are commited by criminals vs. avg. joe/jane?

to say the least: http://www.cheatneutral.com

speaking of "acceptable" bigotry I am hearing impaired but I can speak just fine, 99% of the time unless I bring it to light most people do not even notice that I wear hearing aids. I have been turned away for so many jobs, dates, etc. because of these things in my ears.

so you support a man who killed millions of people and actively practiced genocide, funded suicide bombers who have attacked Israel? How can you support a murderer? I suppose you think Hitler, Stalin and Pol Pot were just fine human beings? You, madam...disgust me :angry

I hope he holds firm and vetos it.

episode: Scott Tenorman Must Die

According to http://www.ontheissues.org/Senate/Hillary_Clinton.htm she is a: Moderate Liberal Populist Hence my claim of liberal still stands

One of my peers who enjoyed calling me "retard" because of the fact I wear hearing aids is now the proud daddy of twin autistic babies. Karma is a bitch ain't it.

He is too far right to win, remember, moderates outnumber the "core" of either party. Which is why hillery will not win nor savage.

by the logic I am reading, then a doctor has a RIGHT to perfom ANY procedure he wishes. Including abortions and sex-changes (two common operations many fanatics want to ban) Thanks for the new argument guys

And I also believe that mothers who ingest alcohol or ANY type of drug while pregnant should be prosecuted for: child abuse, gross neglect and attempted murder.
