Truthfully, I am not exactly sure what your answer is and you simply refuse to state it clearly instead preferring to play these games of hide and seek. But hey, I apparently walked down the Jets alleyway wearing as Sharks jacket so by all means continue playing.
Well, if you aren't going to take the time to read it and figure out what it says -- given that it is in plain English, you shouldn't have -too- much issue with that -- then there's not a lot I can do for you.

And why bother to simply say it right here when you can hide behind this silly game?

Silly question - I know.

Or perhaps I should play the farmer and tell you I already hid the needle which you seek in one of the haystacks over yonder?

I typed it once and linked to it three times.
If you don't thnk you can effectively respond to it, just say so - no need for you to keep dodging.
 
And you cannot say it in plain english right here because you would rather play this childish game?

I'll take that as you having no interest in honestly addressing the issue.
No surprise.
 
Why do I get the very strong impression that there is a character from Lewis Carroll typing on the other end of the line?

Because you dont really have any intention of having an honest discussion?
My answer is there. Stop whining and respond to it.
 
Tell you what I will do for you Goobie. I have to leave for a while to interview a person for a staff legislative position. I should be back in 2 hours. If you really want a discussion just post what you have claimed to have already said on the subject right here in your next post. I will be happy to speak to it. If you want to continue to play hide-and-seek, there just might be an elementary school near your place. ;)

I see you decided to continue whining. Your choice.

Well, I, for one, now think you are a Very Important Person. Thanks for letting us know.
 
i would turn it back on you is it constitutional to restrict someones right to self-defense?

Y'know... I -could- be preparing for my upcomong ride on Discovery, but instead I am here, blessing you all with my presence.

It's a great ride. I heartily suggest it.

I would have gone up this time around, but I ended up having to host Prince William's bachelor party instead. Annoying social obligations always seem to get in the way ...
 
expound......
I fully support reasonable gun control laws.

To qualify as reasonable, a law must:
-Prevent criminals from getting guns
-Not infringe on the right to arms.

When you find one of those let me know.
 
As the court said in US v Miller, that's the sort of weaponry a militiaman was expected to provide for himself.


The argument can be made that "arms", as used in the 2nd, covers "RPGs" and the like.But, the important part, is that it unquestionably covers any and every class of firearm.
Seems they less gun control in the ME than we do here.

gee folks - sorry for being truthful about my time ....

I guess keeping in the spirit of the high school smartass now i am suppose to say something clever like

"Oh gee whiz, you named your bicycle Maserati?"

Now its time for you to tag in the next gang member. ;)

Probably not - I suspect that the majority of the weapons you see, not held by the 'government' are illegal.
 
WTH is this discussion about, again?


Since it seems we have strayed slightly from the original topic...
 
I agree with you, but then, does it not say in it's exact words that said "militia" is "well regulated"? Who's regulating it if not the government?

Of course the militias, or military, should be regulated. However, people who make this classic argument against gun rights based on the mention of a regulated militia are forgetting something very simple in the interpretation:

THERE'S A COMMA NEXT TO STATE, explicitly stating that both a regulated militia, AND the individual citizenry, have the right to possess arms.
 
Good grief, it's so stupid.

"Being as I have a date tonight, I'm getting a haircut."

Does this mean the only purpose for getting a haircut is having a date? Really?

Not only do I not have a date tonight, but I haven't cut my hair in over a year... :mrgreen:

So it is your interpretation that the state can regulate the militia but NOT the citizenry?

I don't see how that would be an inconsistent view. Not that "regulate" as used in the sentence means "regulate" in the sense you're using it. But meh, either way.
