Haymarket this isn't about where Americans agree with you, its about you hiding from your previous statements of one gun, one bullet satisfying the 2nd amendment.

What statement was that? Produce it so we can see you did not invent this out of your own hate for me. Let us see this statement.

You will not produce it as it never existed.

My seven year old granddaughter told me they had a drill in her public school where the girls from her class took refuge in a girls bathroom for "a long time" and some of the girls argued that they should stand on the toilets to fool the gunman who might look in.

When is enough enough?

Look - to all the right wing whack jobs out there - you are NOT going to go to war against the government someday so stick your excuses about needing your big firepower where the sun does not shine.


I for one have had it and all the lame excuses don't hold water anymore.

No they can't. Do you understand "shall not be infringed"? :lamo

Are you saying that freedom of religion can be restricted? The free press can be restricted?

yes - it means that the right to keep and bear arms cannot be taken away from you OR the government creating an environment where people legally cannot obtain arms.

And that is not what anyone in a position of power is proposing.

Here come the insults, because you lost the argument.

Truth seems to leave deep wounds on you.

You saying the one word post of YET clearly indicates you fear such an eventuality will be around the corner. It is pure paranoia and an hallmark of the slippery slope argument. No insult - just reality.

All rights can be restricted. Freedom of religion and freedom of press are both restricted in the US.


Di you really need examples?

No we are talking about the efficacy of gun laws

Perhaps you are attempting to make it about that. I am talking about the type of society we want to live in and what restrictions we will enact as part of that society.

Back to that tired game. You know you said it, we know you said it, that's why your opinion is worthless on 2nd amendment issues.
