TurtleDude said:I don't think anyone supports absolutely no restrictions but I chose that because I noted that some restrictions go to the individual rather than the weapon
jamesrage said:As far as the right to own firearms as long as you are a law abiding citizen with no felonies and not insane you be able to own firearms with out any restrictions..
jamesrage said:burning the US flag in a disrespectful manner
vergiss said:And what's your definition of "insane"? How do you decide someone's "insane" enough to be banned from gun ownership?
As opposed to burning the flag in a respectful manner?

jamesrage said:If they have a phycologigal history of being schizo and being mental unstability
vergiss said:Schizo? As in schizophrenic? Hundreds of thousands of treated schizophrenics lead average, functional lives. You wish to interfere with their supposed right to firearm ownership purely because of a disease which they had the misfortune of inheriting, and which actually makes them no more of a danger to others than the average person?
As for mental instability - what mental instability? Anyone whose ever been in a psychiatric facility? Anyone with bipolar disorder, depression, anxiety or PTSD? You do know that 1 person in 4 suffers from a mental disorder at some point in their life, right? What about dementia and senility brought by from old age/genetic misfortune, eg Alzheimers? Looks like poor ol' Charlton Heston can't own a gun! :lol:

jamesrage said:Flag Disposal
Suggested Procedures for Disposing of a Faded, Worn Flag
1. The flag should be folded in its customary manner.
2. It is important that the fire be fairly large and of sufficient intensity to ensure complete burning of the flag.
3. Place the flag on the fire.
4. The individual(s) can come to attention, salute the flag, recite the Pledge of Allegiance and have a brief period of silent reflection.
5. After the flag is completely consumed, the fire should then be safely extinguished and the ashes buried.
6. Please make sure you are conforming to local/state fire codes or ordinances.
jamesrage said:So are you trying to argue that insane people should be allowed the right own guns?Perhaps we can find out where you live, move a clinacally insane person next door to you and give this clinacally insane person a AN/PAQ-4C, night vision and a AR-15 and see if you change your mind about insane people owning firearms.
vergiss said:What are you trying to argue? That everyone who's suffered from a mental illness at some point in their lifetime is insane and therefore a second-class citizen?
Good luck trying, I live in a country where such firearms are illegal.
jamesrage said:If a certian amount of time has passed and the indivudal has been checked out and verified that he or she has not suffered any mental illness in while then there might not be no reason to restrict his right to bear arms.
jamesrage said:If you live in the Us a AR-15 is perfectly legal.The AN/PAQ-4C is not a weapon,it is a laser site that can only be seen with night vision goggles.

Scarecrow Akhbar said:Of course we're forgetting the other half of the poll.
Suppose the New York Times received a secret government document stating that Osama bin Laden was not only living in luxury in suburban Islamabad but that next Thursday the United States was going to raid the house and take bin Laden into custody.
Should they not face consequences for publishing this story before the raid?
