The Second Amendment is a non-starter in the 21st century


 
1) You folks are half a loaf short of being a well armed militia in an era where the Internet is the next battleground.


2) The only hunting any of you do for sustenance is when you go for a sale at WalMart

3) Our founding fathers never imagined a day when you didn't have to load your musket with anything but powder and a ball. They may have been forward thinking, they never imagined war and weapons as we know them. The gun lobby has twisted the Amendment so carefully to their own designs it is now bastardized.

4)The criminals get the guns because the laws are lax, you don't keep your guns locked up, and there aren't sufficient background checks to prevent the scum from getting armed.


And it's the fault of the current generation of gun owners that we're in this mess.


Gunz gunz gunz, they are more important than your kids, or the rights of others to NOT be threatened by your need to carry them in your lily white neighborhoods. We have 40,000,000 people without health insurance and your second amendment rights are more important than life itself.


Bullshit.


Bullshit, bullshit, bullshit.

Who knew the bill of rights had an expiration date?

Hey DUmbass our founders may not have been able to imagine an AR-15, but they sure as hell knew you idiots would come along and try to ban arms. That is why they put in an entire amendment stating that our right to bear arms shall NOT be infringed. There was no asterisk next to it, saying except for and no list of exceptions.

1. if there was quote hall of of fame

I would nominate this:

"We have 40,000,000 people without health insurance and your second amendment rights are more important than life itself. "

Our second amendment rights could be what saves our lives you moron.

4. Don't let them define what the 2nd amendment means.


Every right protected by the constitution has reasonable restrictions - even speech. Gun rights are no different, no matter what some extremists say. Plus, if we can't even get background checks passed, we're certainly not going to repeal the 2nd amendment.

The only reason those "reasonable restrictions" exist is because we have allowed those restrictions to be put upon us.

You know, I have a couple guns that you load with a ball and powder.  That little ball of lead would make a very nice hole in someone.     Not to mention the cannon-like boom that will happen if I get in a hurry and don't measure my powder.  That alone would keep most DUmmies off my land.

I value my liberties more than I value this DUmmy's life.

It's not even close.

[BattleHymn]

The founding fathers never envisioned the freedom of the press being more than a town crier and a guy lining up print types on a printing press, either.

What's your point?

George Washington would hang you Dain.

Reasonable restrictions.  Ha.  I listened to some of Barry's pity party in the Rose Garden and when he used the phrase common sense measures I laughed out loud.

In the past liberals have been supported with our wealth.

Because of tough economics soon they will no longer be supported but merely tolerated.

They would do well to not push the issue any further.

[thundley4]

All of the Bill of Rights pertain to to individual freedoms.

Our founding fathers never imagined a day when you didn't have to load your musket with anything but powder and a ball. They may have been forward thinking, they never imagined war and weapons as we know them. The gun lobby has twisted the Amendment so carefully to their own designs it is now bastardized.

The founding fathers never imagined being able to communicate around the world in seconds. The founding fathers never imagined perverts would transmit child pornography around the world in seconds. The founding fathers never imagined "the press" would be a willing cohort of a repressive government.

We need to rethink that whole first amendment thing.

I put it in quotes for a reason. 

[FlaGator]

Someone inform those on DU that the 2nd amendment has nothing to do with hunting.

Funny how the dems were all for "protecting" the constitution when Bush was in office, now not so much.

So Barry's Affordable Care Act is not so affordable after all. Who knew...

[Chris_]

That's the same number of uninsured they were claiming before Obamacare was passed.  What was the ****ing point?

[Freeper]

Come on now, the dems only cite the constitution when they can twist it somehow and say that abortion is a constitutional right.

I'm sure they also never imagined things like...

a mother wanting to murder her healthy, unborn baby.
two men demanding to marry each other.
a Supreme Court that legislates from the bench.
a Socialist intent on destroying the country getting elected twice.

Noo, noo, noo, my aptly monikered sub-retard, you're wrong.  It is the mental illness that results from liberal social experimentation.  The vilification of the Family, of God, of Faith.  The lack of understanding of basic human nature, you flipping idiot.  When you infantize a generation to expect FrEeShiT, tell them that they can have anything, do anything consequence free and success doesn't matter because Mommy Preznit and Daddy First Wookie are going to provide for you -until your cost benefit return outweighs your further use as a taxable commodity to Overlord Government - guess what happens when they finally have to be told, no?




It is the fault of the product of your failure.

 

[Duke Nukum]

Never forget: 0bama sold guns to drug cartels resulting in over 200 deaths.

You beat me too it Freeper.

I and my weapons have never taken a single life, innocent or otherwise.

I wonder how many liberals can say the same thing about their "choice"?

Yes, today several million Americans used their second amendment rights and not one life was taken, meanwhile every American who used their right to abortion resulted in a death.

Or the A.C.L.U. suing to get all Christian imagery removed from public view.

They also never imaged a day when stupid DUmbasses would be posting bullshit on DU so, using your DUmmy logic, your 1st amendment doesn't extend to the internet.

Moron.

 1) You folks are half a loaf short of being a well armed militia in an era where the Internet is the next battleground.  Hey DUmbass, my guns still work when the internet goes down or the electricity goes out.


2) The only hunting any of you do for sustenance is when you go for a sale at WalMart.  Funny I don't think the sell venison, rabbit, or squirrel at Walmart.
