I’m tired of hearing how important they are for hunting, or target practice, or especially protection. Protect what? A home? If nobody had guns would we have to? I’ll try a 3-iron. Isn’t it comforting to know that wherever you go, including church, the person next to you has a gun strapped on? Chicago is undergoing population extermination. Eight more people shot there one day this week, including a 9-year-old child. How about the woman in her pajamas who called 911 for help and the policeman, upon arrival, shot her to death? Good Lord! |

Yet another dufus who either fails to understand or willfully disregards the concept of pre-existing unalienable fundamental rights, hence should not be allowed to vote.
"The right there specified is that of 'bearing arms for a lawful purpose'. This is not a right granted by the Constitution. Neither is it in any manner dependent upon that instrument for its existence." - U.S. v. Cruikshank (1875) |

Cain killed Able with a rock.
There was plenty of violence in the world before guns came into being. Blaming the inanimate tool is a sign of a weak mind. |

TO REMEMBER |
| "Some people think that the Second Amendment is an outdated relic of an earlier time. Doubtless some also think that constitutional protections of other rights are outdated relics of earlier times. We The People own those rights regardless, unless and until We The People repeal them. For those who believe it to be outdated, the Second Amendment provides a good test of whether their allegiance is really to the Constitution of the United States, or only to their preferences in public policies and audiences. The Constitution is law, not vague aspirations, and we are obligated to protect, defend, and apply it. If the Second Amendment were truly an outdated relic, the Constitution provides a method for repeal. The Constitution does not furnish the federal courts with an eraser." --9th Circuit Court Judge Andrew Kleinfeld, dissenting opinion in which the court refused to rehear the case while citing deeply flawed anti-Second Amendment nonsense (Nordyke v. King; opinion filed April 5, 2004) |
