I would rather carry a gun and be allowed to protect myself than trust someone else to do it for me. That being said, I have no intention of buying a gun. | ||

The main issue is, I don't trust other people with them, because people aren't to be trusted with guns... And I the last thing you want is guns in bars, really. So many reasons for a fight to happen in there, the last thing you need is for a bunch of people to pull out their guns. I like how the far right doesn't care about bringing us back to the Red Dead Redemption days =P | ||

There is hope that if you turn your state into a neo-conservative wet dream, you'll at least be entirely screwed economically for the next few decades. | ||

There was no single intent of the Founding Fathers and even if that magical cohesive idea existed, it'd be impossible to understand it today. The Constitution is a living document that has shed its skin for every new era. This is not a modern thing. It was given elasticity for these purposes. You realize that you've basically just made an argument in support of Textualism, and then magically found your way to a ridiculous claim that the Constitution is a "living document" with no actual support of that statement. It is essentially impossible to make a vaguely good argument in favor of any Constitutional interpretation theory except strict Textualism. I wish people would stop trying. | ||

It is essentially impossible to make a vaguely good argument in favor of any Constitutional interpretation theory except strict Textualism. I wish people would stop trying. The constitution was prefaced with the fact that should it no longer become a suitable document, it is the job of the people to replace it. Combine that with the fact that the constitution has specific provisions for these things called "amendments" which basically say, yes you change, add, or subtract from the constitution. The ultimate irony is that gun nuts who staunchly oppose any concept of the constitution as a living document also tend to cite their second amendment more then anything else, the first "edit" the constitution recieved. Likewise, it's bullshit to say that a 234 year old document could, in any way, predict the needs and wants of a future society. Even if written by 1776 futurists, there's no way one could accurately predict the exact state of society over two centuries from now. Whether or not the constitution was "meant to change" is pointless in the context of this conversation anyway. | ||

Have you ever been in situation where you could only defend you life and family because you had a phone and know how to dial 911?. Is there something wrong with gun ownership and having the right to defend my family? its not handgun either. | ||

How are the police going to maintain their advantage not to mention safety when they have to make random arrests, with the possibility of removing someone from a bar turning into a warzone? Guess grenade launchers are going to become standard issue in police car trunks now. At least I don't live in Arizona. I feel bad for anyone that does. | ||
