It depends on the size and destructive power of your "arms".

The right to protect yourself does not mean you can have your own personal WMD or bazooka. (automatic weapons capable of mass destruction). Can't a citizen protect their home with a rifle?

In modern America, the cell phone is mightier than the sword. Statistically, you're safer flashing that the next time you feel threatened.

Truth is a constant. Why should there be QUALIFICATIONS like "It depends on the size and destructive power of your arms?

bazookaJoe, you are saying if you are allowed to carry a knife, you should be allowed to own a missile launcher?

Truth is indeed constant. This application of truth includes a consideration of everyone's needs not just YOUR need to "protect YOURSELF". Did you ever consider that WE want to be protected from YOU and we don't trust you with a bazooka!

Liberals cannot comprehend total freedom because they are AFRAID... HOW SELFISH it is to inflict your fear on someone else because you are not brave.

interesting how it is just the opposite. It is fear that drives you to carry weapons and invest in weapons (at the expense of things like education) and are obsessed with "terror/terrorism". By the way, the NRA endorsed President sent us to war precisely because he said that a weapon is not a weapon, i.e. Iraq could defend itself with weapons but if they even think about building WMD's (like the U.S. does) we can take over their country.

No, its not fear that drives all people to carry weapons, its that crazy piece of paper that gets in the news frequently called ummmm the Constitution

you mean that piece of paper that calls for the people with those arms to be "well regulated!".

Frankly I feel it's my right to 'bare' arms. Especially in the summer I like the feeling of having my arms exposed, otherwise I get way too hot. Bare arms and legs are much more comfortable. And if I offend anyone, well too bad! I feel it's my right!

Oh, sorry. This thread is about the right to 'bear' arms. Duh ... silly me. :sunny:

I believe everyone has the right to bear claws at Duncan donuts but as a Peta advocate I believe the only one that has the right to bear arms is the bear itself.

ooops. I also forgot this was about weapons.

... nevermind

I actually believe ideas and unchecked emotions kill people. Hate kills people. Ignorance kills people. Racism kills people. Biogtry kills people. Hopelessness kills people.

People are more than their bodies. People are primarily spirits. They just inhabit a body for a while.

So democrats_suck ... your previous name (that you have the responsibility of giving yourself) evokes something very low ... it shows anger, hatred, intolerance and ignorance. You, my friend, contribute to the grand energy scheme that kills people. Stop it. Grow up and start to see that people different than you have value.

"if guns kill people, spoons make Michael Moore fat"

spoons are sold to assist in providing us with nutrition and pleasure.

you can kill someone with a teddy bear if you press it up against their face, but their designed to be hugged,

guns, however, are specifically designed to make it quick and easy to kill someone -- by accident, or intentionally from long distance if you should get pissed.

Your analogy would only be applicable if the only purpose a spoon served was to feed another person poison and thousands of people died every year from "spooning" accidents, in which case they should be banned (along with certain sleeping positions).

I like your reply better than mine, Mr. A!

Numbnut...try actually doing some reading about how the second amendment is REALLY interpreted. You never answered my post except with some mass Ad Hominem bull-s**t

READ!!!

United States v. Miller (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_v._Miller)

[Tom's Fork]

Have you ever noticed that NOT ONCE IN YOUR FRIKKIN' LIFE HAVE YOU EVER HEARD A GUN NUT ACTUALLY QUOTE THE SECOND AMENDMENT?

There's a reason: They want you to believe the government has no right to regulate guns.

Please read the second and third words of the amendment:

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.
(Emphasis added)
