I guess I'll have to scratch him off my play list.
Your probably more of a chixie dicks fan anyway, In fact I bet you surrender your sack everytime you walk thru the front door, you just come across to me as a hen pecked puss!
If you take his argument literally and to it's logical conclusion, I should be able to own tanks, claymores, anti-personal mines, chemical weapons, assault machine guns, AT4's, RPG's and what ever other cool toys are produced. All rights are finite and have restrictions. He would do well to learn that,
No you should'nt be able to own weapons that are intended for warfare, the weapons you list are strictly used for Military purposes.
and thats not what he was saying at all and you know it, you may want to watch it again unless you choose to remain
Ignorant!
I have read nothing to indicate that the writers of the Constitution intended for everyone in todays society to be armed to what ever degree they feel necessary. Given the time that they were in, I find it much more logical than when they write of a militia, they are referring to a fighting force of reserves for military combat. Given that we have a organized fighting force that far surpasses anything they had as far as organization, relative size, and capability, I do not feel that Ted's argument flies any better than the Spruce Goose.
A militia is made up of ordinary citizens and I think the framers made it perfectly clear!
Regardless of the document I have a GOD given right to defend myself, my family, and my property against hostilities.
PERIOD!!!!!!
Amendment II
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.
Personally, I would like to see weapons registered just like a car is. Inspected on a yearly basis just like a car is, have titles that must be transfered when sold just like a car. If a weapon is stolen, it must be reported.
We already have laws on the books regarding gun ownership, Those with evil intent will not obey any law you propose!
Of course the NRA would not go for this as this would curtail some right they believe is being violated.
Guess that shows how much you know concerning the NRA.
I would rather see a justice system over hauled to punish those who need to be punished and rehabilitate those who show promise.
We already do sparky, its called three strikes your out!
I wonder if good ole Ted would support executing those gun owners who do not secure their weapons and have children who end up with the guns and kill their friend when showing off the weapon. I noticed he did not address those types of incidents. I wonder why?
Of course Gun owners need to be responsible and if some Idiot leaves his loaded 38 laying out on his night stand with children in the house he is a moron, If that same Idiots child gets the weapon and kills another then the owner (Idiot) should be prosecuted for negligent homocide.
Ted did'nt need to mention those types of incidents because the majority of Legal Gun owners have common sense, you don't take a right away from people because of a few brain dead individuals. Tens of Thousands are killed on our roads every year, so should we abolish autos?
I know in your Idea Utopian world view there would be no wars, no hunger, no poor, no accidents, etc..... but we live in reality and believe it or not Evil does exist!
