so dirty pot-smoking hippies are cool now? last week you found them despicable.

I'm a well armed Dead Head. So now I hate myself, I did not know that.

So we should have taken up arms against Bush and his government when they came up with the Patriot Act.  Got it.

.
Yes.

So why didn't you? Are you a coward?

I did my part by voting for Ron Paul and joining the Tea Party. All of that resulted in a mini-revolution via the biggest electoral slaughter in seventy-two years. What have you done for the country lately?

I prefer that to the opposite, where it doesn't matter if you're a criminal, a failure or a self-loathing closet gay, once you're tagged as conservative anti-liberal, anything you've ever done before doesn't matter and you're hailed as a hero.

*see Sarah Palin, Oliver North, G. Gordon Liddy or Newt Gingrich

Personally, I think Tom Selleck is a pretty decent actor, as were Charlton Heston and Dennis Hopper. Neal Peart is one of the best rock drummers ever. I read PJ O'Rourke whenever he publishes. Ted? Ted's just mediocre. So, I think you wished to discussed closed-mindedness.

I love Bruce Willis and am entertained by even shiatty Arnold Shwarzenneggar. And Neal Part is awesome. Not Keith Moon awesome, but no living being is or will be.

The Dixie Chicks alienated most of their 'conservative' base when they started their Bush Hate speech...I don't recall anyone coming out and saying "oh yeah....and they can't sing either."

I'm of two opinions on the Iraq war. Hussein reneged on the surrender agreement, and Bush got us involved in an ill-advised quagmire over what should have taken two men and one bullet.

Bwahahahaaaaa. What a leap of logic.

How exactly? We are either defining the Bill of Rights as only applicable to the technology at the time it was written or we aren't. Or does that logic only apply to the parts you decide you think it should?

david_gaithersburg: keylock71: Thune: And you think Obama knows what "shall not be infringed" means?

I don't know.... Do you know what "Well-Regulated" means?

I do, and I'm sure you don't. It means in to be kept in working order.

THIS! It doesn't mean forcibly enact regulations stripping the populace of all means of defense more lethal than a rubberband gun and a super soaker.

david_gaithersburg: I did my part by voting for Ron Paul and joining the Tea Party. All of that resulted in a mini-revolution via the biggest electoral slaughter in seventy-two years. What have you done for the country lately?

So you pissed away your vote and joined the "The Koch Brothers don't wanna pay taxes" party. I joined the greens a while back during Nader's run, and I can say with no reservation that was a waste. Maybe time will offer you some perspective.

Lord_Baull: So you are okay with restricting freedom of the press to hand set printing presses?


Bwahahahaaaaa. What a leap of logic.

Actually, not so much. If the common citizen's implementation of the Second Amendment is to be so severely limited in degree in proportion to the limits set upon the government's right to arm itself, the First Amendment contains no clause guaranteeing the common citizen's right to sharing information to be so equal in degree, in proportion to the government's ability to spread of "information". After all, the Second Amendment is the ONLY one referencing the "security of a free State".

Hey submitard,

I'm glad you are an expert on Treason. Where were you when this biatch was engaging in it?

Back when the Constitution was written the phrase "well-regulated" meant "in good order" or "well running".

They use to refer to clocks as "Well-regulated".

They didn't mean there were laws written by the federal government about how a clock should run.

The phrase "well-regulated" in the Constitution had NOTHING to do with written regulations by the federal or state government, as the person of today would take that phrase to mean.

You might want to check on what the phrase "bear arms" meant at the time.

Grizzly Adams would like to have a word with you.

The Evil Home Brewer: keylock71: The Evil Home Brewer: The argument of "home defense" is often brought up in support of these weapons. If someone broke into my house I suspect the sound of racking a shell into one of my shotguns or into my lever-action Winchester would be enough for them to take what they already have and leave. I don't have a problem with that. My homeowner's insurance covers replacement.

Heh... I got a rifle and shotgun in the house, but in the event of someone breaking into my home, I think I prefer to defend my home with the half a hockey stick I have in the closet (next to the gun safe). I like my chances, in my home, in the dark or daylight against any intruder, armed or otherwise....

But that's really just macho masturbatory fantasizing... My home has never been burglarized or invaded and my city has a violent crime rate 5 times the national average. Hell, I can't even remember the last time I had any kind of violent altercation with another person... maybe a first fight or two in high school. It's not my firearms keeping me and the family safe. If anything, it's the fact that every ground floor entrance (doors, windows, and bulkhead) is secured when we're home and alarmed when we're out and I have good relationships with all my neighbors and we keep an eye out for each others' property.

Hell, my elderly Portuguese neighbors, who spend the day peeking between the shades when they hear any noises, are more of a deterrent to scum bags than any firearm.

We have a long hallway that leads to the bedrooms. Truthfully? If someone came down the long narrow hall I'd probably blindly fire a warning shot and then grab my 1863 Springfield with it's lock-ring bayonet. It gives me about a 6 foot reach. In a narrow hallway? I'm bound to hit enough that the intruder leaves.
I've successfullly defended myself in my home from an armed attacker exactly once. It was the late 80's and I was living in town by the university, and they climbed the porch roof, cut the screen in my room and were coming in for whatever reason, pistol in hand. It wasn't the pistol or shotgun I reached for, it was the dead Commodore 64 power supply I kept under the bed. Somewhere out there, there's a mug or morgue shot of a guy with that C= logo branded into his face.

Then there was the time I worked at a crappy Circle-K, also by the university. A guy came in with a bag, loaded it up with athlete's foot spray, then came to the counter and stuck a .25 in my face, demanded the money from the till. I wasn't quite quick enough for his liking, so he attempted to scare me by shooting "near" me - he grazed me on my left side, I still have a divot there. I hit the ground, sure that I was shot through and dying for a bag of athelet's foot spray. Dunno if you've ever been shot before, but it's bloody and pretty damn terrifying. I'm reasonably certain I pissed myself, but there was a lot of blood. Lucky for me, though, about that time someone screeched tires in the parking lot (probably taking off after they heard the shot) and I managed to clock the guy with the claw hammer we kept under the counter. IIRC, he sued Circle K - I wouldn't know for sure because they fired me for the whole thing.

A few years later I moved out here, as far away from any city as possible but still able to commute for work. I still have the C64 power supply under the bed.

Anyway, not to ramble or threadjack, just chiming in on the whole blunt objects versus attackers/intruders thing.

Yes, I'm sure that after committing treason, starting a revolution, and risking their lives for the sake of creating this country that the Founding Fathers fully intended their work to be undone by simply redefining a word or two. Because that just makes sense.

You're trying to have both arguments at once. EITHER the Founding Fathers^TM fully intended that the document be static and open only to literal interpretation based on the language, standards and mores of the time (in which case, using your printing press example, anyone who has ever used an electrical or electronic printing device has gone beyond the protections for a free press provided under the Constitution); OR the document was fully intended to (with)stand the tests of time beyond the Revolutionary War. Which is it?

How? The Second Amendment and Ted both agree. What your actually hinting at is a "Totalitarian Solution".
