If thay were blacks, woud u wonder whether thay were members of the NAACP ?

IF thay were Jews, woud u wonder whether thay were members of the Anti-Defamation League ?

If thay were farmers, woud u wonder whether thay were members of the Grange ?

There is no nexus to gun use in the suppositions you present.

Man Arrested With Weapons, Map of Military Base

After arresting a New Jersey man yesterday because of suspicious activity, police found a number of high-powered weapons and a map of a U.S. military base in his hotel room. Lloyd Woodson, who once spent eight years on the run from naval investigators after deserting in 1989, was shopping in a Quick Chek convenience store when someone called police. Woodson, 43, fled when questioned but was tackled in a trailer park not far from the store. Police found that he was wearing a bulletproof vest and carrying a customized assault rifle with ammunition that is typically found in heavy weapons mounted on military vehicles. Back at his motel room, police"and, by this point, investigators from the Joint Terrorism Task Force"found a second assault rifle, a grenade-launcher, a second vest, a police scanner, ammunition, night scope, maps and a traditional red-and-white Middle Eastern headdress. Investigators refused to identify the military base that Woodson had maps of. He is currently being held at the Somerset County Jail without bond.

You can rest assured that the suspect will claim that he is an avid hunter, and that he has a right to bear arms as provided in 2A.

It is pretty implicit. We need strong gun control.

According to u, terrorists woud all be unarmed if we had "strong [unconstitutional] gun control" ??

Gun control is not unconstitutional, something which the majority opinion in Heller emphasizes. There is a pathetic (and dangerous) paranoia among gun nuts about armed terrorists and criminals flooding the cities and the countryside. These jokers live in a bizarre world of imagination.

I deny what "we" "need" but for the nonce,
for the sake of argument, if we were to assume what u claim:
be advised that I (for one) absolutely refuse to relinquish
my natural right and my constitutional right to the means of effective self-defense.

In other words, altho I am confident that we will have less crime
if each citizen is defensively well armed,
even if u actually convinced me that in the nation as a whole,
there 'd be less crime with the victim disarmament
that results from discriminatory licensure of guns
I woud still ADAMANTLY REFUSE to co-operate.

In other words, in that circumstance, I 'd say:
"let the public be damned! I will defend MY individual rights to self-defense."

I 'd say that each of the 300 000 000 + American citizens
shoud exalt his own personal well being above the "common welfare."
Individual, personal, defensive armament sets the tone of self-reliance
and of contempt for docile collectivism. That rejection is fundamentally American.
America is supposed to be the land of the free and the home of the brave

Big deal! Is waving the flag making you some kind of patriot? A patriot is someone who really puts himself out for the country. E.g., working for AmeriCorps would be patriotic.

A disgusting attitude, one which would be condemned by anyone who actually still walked around with a soul.

It takes more bravery to care about others than it does to be self-centered, David. Focusing on oneself and one's personal situation is a position of a weakling, not a brave man.

Patriot, in the sense of my loving and supporting
an ANTI-collectivist polity, wherein each of us exploits everyone
and everything to maximize his own profit and each of us celebrates individual greed, YES. I 'll sign up for THAT!

That is just confusion, Cyclo. Bravery indicates a danger.
There is NO danger from failing to care; ergo, no occasion for bravery.

Incredibly sad. There is a large danger from failing to care, David. And you don't even realize that you have fallen victim to it.

I guess it's one thing that your guns will never protect you from - losing an essential part of your Humanity. It isn't surprising to me, however; gun enthusiasm has ever been linked with a host of internal mental problems and deficiencies.

Yes. I don 't. I deny that danger exists.

That is how u deviants deem our Original American
conservative application of the Constitution: "mental problems and deficiencies."

Any obsession with what is essentially a tool is unhealthy, David.

It is possible that you are truly incapable of understanding my point, because you have gone too far down the road of selfishness and greed; to the point where you have bought into your own self-justifying bullshit.

Is this your personal superstition, Cyclo,
about losing part of my humanity, or do u have some evidence of this?
What is the source of your information about this?
Did u get it in a dream ??
Did a fairy tell u? or an elf?
