Ban Everything. (Obviously not, but good read)

  • ejb5212 said...

    Full gun ban will never ever happen ever. Owning a firearm is a constitutional amendment which is damn mear inpossible to change. Requires a 2/3's vote in both the house and the senate just to be proposed and then 3/4 of state legislatures must approve it. No way enough representatives would approve suggesting the amendment yet alone 38 states approving it.

    It's technically ONLY a constitutional amendment due to the 1939 case with Miller. You HAVE to be part of a citizen militia to own one. Why this hasn't been upheld is a greater mystery than the Bermuda Triangle or the building of the pyramid of giza.

    Regardless of why it is an amendment it is still an amendment. It isn't upheld because there is no need for a militia now, we have a national army/navy/Air Force.. Jmo in the latter statement

    The whole amendment is completely debatable and really obscure and I'm definitely not smart enough to decipher, so it is what it is. I still say ban the handguns and automatics, otherwise, why can't I own a tank??? lol Isn't that might right to bear arms and/or to uphold a hobby???

    This isn't rocket science man, you don't have to be smart to decipher it. It is simple and straight forward.

    And for people saying ban just semi-autos, and handguns. LOL, if you let someone keep a shotgun and ban those then they would just modify the choke(not that most of you know what it is anyway) and would do more damage with no. 1 buckshot in small class rooms than any automatic rifle could do.

    Some of you should really stick to other political issues, and because this is one you just do not know remotely enough about.

    Btw, only the first part was directed at you Gomez

    The amendment is actually very vague. It's about right to bear arms as long as you're part of a citizen militia. So what does that mean? The NRA? A gun club? A hunting club? I'm really not sure to be honest with you. I think its intent is that you can arm yourself if the government (never gonna happen) tries to imprison or take action upon the people so that they're held back from free will.

    Absolutly correct. Can you imagine the damage a shotgun in a crowded school or theater would do? You guys who argue against guns for the public good just remember that one day someone is gonna target something you enjoy. Red meat, alcohol, fast powerful cars, they all kill and cripple more people than guns. I mean c'mon the speed limit is 70 why the hell do we have cars that go 150?

    The amendment is not very vague. That point is absolutely not debatable to anyone without an agenda. This point is clearly black and white, there is no grey area.

    Citizens of the states were called to form the state militia's, they weren't able to have them as long as they were members of a club,they had them because that right was given to them in the second amendment. The first time the US Army was used and not solely the State Militia's was the Civil War,and we still have that to protect our RIGHTS.

    The bottom line is this, no matter what law is passed I know I personally would not give up ANY weapon of mine. When you are talking about tearing down rights it is life and death to some of us. To give the devil and inch is to give him a mile.

    Again the purpose of a law isn't to completely stop a crime from occuring, that's just unreasonable. BTW how would they know to modify the choke if most people on here would know what a choke was? And if that would do more damage than an assault rifle why don't more people use modified shotguns in mass murders(Shotgun is 4th behind Handguns, Assault Rifles and revolvers)?

    Before I even begin to answer your question, do you REALLY want me to tell you how it would be more deadly in a mass murder? Think about that before you answer.

    The point is that most people wouldn't think/know how to do that. And it is not like they couldn't do it now.

    Just give me a valid practical use for hand guns, semis and extended clips that could not be accomplished with rifles or shotguns and we can let this go.

    Because it is my right to own and use them; It is simple as that. In the same line of thought I believe there is no valid reason for homosexuals to have any right to get married,yet there are people screaming the following: "Who are you to prevent them form doing something with their own lives, blah blah blah."

    If I own a gun it absolutely affects no one else, my ownership of that gun does nothing to anyone. Now some crazy person plotting to kill an entire school of children having that gun does have a negative affect, however the gun did not do it, he did.

    That is a personal decision for each killer, they are usually insane to begin with so i can't answer that.

    Most people think that an assault rifle is the greatest thing ever if you have to kill someone, that is not true in all cases. Depending on what kind of enviornment you are in it can be used against someone. I think the whole thing about which one is more deadly and why one is used more than the other isn't necessarily important though. My point was that these weapons people propose ot not ban are still deadly and can be used for the same evil purpose. When you start banning one thing, then sooner or later everything will be banned. There is a slippery slope for firearms.

    I am not disagreeing with you about the way the second amendment is interpreted today, that doesn't me the amendment isn't vague.

    Vague- Of uncertain, indefinite, or unclear character or meaning: "patients with vague symptoms".

    Amendment II
    As passed by the Congress: 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.
    As ratified by the States and authenticated by Thomas Jefferson, Secretary of State: 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.

    A well regulated militia being necessary to the security of a free state- Is it stating that there must be a Militia and people have the right to bear arms? Or that if a militia is required, then people have the right to bear arms? If the free state is in no danger, is the militia necessary to its security? What id other states need security? Do you need to be in the militia to bear arms? What do they mean by bear arms? Just handguns? What about Machine Guns? Coach Gomez wants a tank!? What if we have a national army instead of a militia? What if you live in DC (not a state)?

    While some of those questions are stupid, most of them are legit questions that you or me can't answer because we weren't at the constitutional convention. Again i am not disagreeing with peoples right to bear arms in this post, just saying that the amendment is written vaguely.

    Look, if you're going to pretend to have any sort of knowledge about firearms (which you clearly do not), at least do so without making yourself look so foolish.

    Sadly, once again, seems most 'gun control advocates' are not even mildly informed about firearms. Brain washed by the media.

    The state militias were not ever "In-service" until called upon by the states governor or president. These militia's were used by the US instead of an army up until the civil war. Now as we know, were were not at war all the time, and thus the militia's were not in-service,yet we still had the right.

    Honestly, for those that are confused about the state militia part, I would advise them to read and/or take a course on early US constitutional history, or maybe early US military history. I can clarify for you. I just got out of a class that shed some light on the subject, that is why I do not find it vague.

    That is all I have to say for right now. Will check later.

    Mark it down in tBB history, this is the first time the liberals(And friends) have lost a debate and run out of bull crap to throw! I honestly did not believe I would see the day. +1's for all on this special occasion.

    Edit: I don't even want to insult liberals with these people, instead of liberals I would refer to those ITT as anti-constitutionalists.
