has no authority to enact such a statute.
Seems pretty obvious they do since that is in fact the situation.
Quote:Yes; a very fundamental right,
supported in the Bill of Rights by the 2nd Amendment, the 5th Amendment
the 9th Amendment, the 10th Amendment,
and by the 14th Amendment. .
Have you read the constitution? It doesn't say "You have the right to bear arms." It says "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."
Now, firstly, that is predicated on the defense from english soldiers - not to defend yourself against wild animals. And it certainly says a "well regulated militia" of which children are obviously NOT a part.
Quote:Can u cite us to any authority
in support of your point of vu ?
or is that only your personal opinion of what is NICE ?
Can u remember being a child ?
Tho its been many decades,
I can remember back to my 3rd birthday,
and some of the time leading up to it.
I remember, very distinctly, that I was alone
for long periods of time on many days.
When going to school,
That isn't a point of "vu." It is the duty of the parent to guard and protect the child. The fact that your parents failed to do so does not require every child to be given a handgun.
Quote:What NONSENSE !!!
Don 't u remember being a kid ?
Were u really ignorant of that ?
I can 't believe that u were.
We were all well armed,
and nothing ever went rong,
the same as if we were doing carpentry together,
we did not smack each other with hammers,
because we were not malicious.
( Other people ARE malicious; murderers come in all ages. )
Exactly my point. All ages. Children do not have the cognizant ability to always determine the best course of action. They act brashly and often spitefully. Kids are cruel to each other - constantly. So what about the school bullies? You just gonna let the kids shoot it out on the playground? I am aghast as how idiotic this thought is.
Quote:OF COURSE.
Just don 't aim guns at the police,
nor anyone else, unless your well being requires defense.
I have had the police arrive at my house in NY.
I never felt a need to point any gun at them.
Again, a child very well might panic and aim the gun. Aside from that, he doesn't have to aim it at the police. It is lawful to shoot if a suspect (even a child) places hand on the gun and an officer even THINKS he may raise it to fire.
Quote:I don 't have the energy at the moment
to argue the benefits of fonetic spelling
We've had that discussion and you failed miserably. You're not even consistent with it yourself. You cited all sorts of examples, which you claim to be phonetic (like Spanish), that are completely the opposite. So I wouldn't bother to expend the energy if I were you either.
