Mexico Calls On the US to Violate Our Constitutional Gun Rights

@oralloy,

The world often calls on the USA to do what is moral and just. Sadly, it all too often declines.

@fbaezer,

I went to your quote link, the article linked to, and all the comments. I did not find what you quoted.

@roger,

It's the last paragraph of the last Oralloy post before mine, Roger.

Somehow, I have the feeling that very few agree with your definition of freedom

I apologize. He actually did say that.

@roger,

Do you know how to use "Ctrl F", Roger? The 'F' stands for 'find'.

1. On any page, hit 'Ctrl F'. A small box will appear in the top right corner of the page.

2. Type in one word or a few words from the text you want to find. It will become highlighted on the page.

Oralloy - You can't honestly mean this. If you do, I think you have demonstrated the lack of good judgment in which should be required to hold the kind of power and responsibility gun ownership comes with.

Your right to own an assault weapon is NOT more important than someone else's life. Especially, since you may own other forms of firearms.

Asking is to give the benefit of the doubt.

It would be moral and just for us to refuse to give up our freedom.

I think you've found a new term and are throwing it around every chance you get, despite the fact that you don't understand its proper usage.

Nope. There are a whole bunch of us red-blooded Americans who are never going to give up our freedom.

My right to own assault weapons is more important than *everyone's* life.

But there was more to my post than just that.

For instance, there is the fact that even if we did give up freedom in America, the gangs would just get their assault rifles somewhere else. The world is flooded with them.

And there is the fact that the gangs would still kill people even if it really were possible to deprive them of assault rifles.

So really, Mexico is asking us to give up our freedom for no reason at all.

But we will never give up our freedom. Ever.

@oralloy,

You're not making any sense here.

Your right to own firearms does not trump any other right, less so the rights other have to be alive.

The fact that gangs will get weapons elsewhere is a lame poit as well. As is, they choose to get their weapons from us because it is the easiest and cheapest way. The point here should be to make it as difficualt as possible to obtain these kinds of weapons. Americans would not be giving up freedom by putting the ban in effect. That's such a vacant statement.

If the inability to own an assault rifle is tantamount to a loss of freedom, then how did freedom exist prior to the assault rifle? If this is the case, then we aren't free until the invention of the laser rifle! This is silly. You do not need the ability to buy an assault rifle to be free.

Your disregaurd for the lives of the Mexicans caught in these violent bloodbaths is chilling.

any citizen from ingesting anything of his choice (if he owns it) will end the smuggling

@OmSigDAVID,

While, I don't share your opinion on guns, I think we'd find some common ground on the matter of fighting the drug cartels by removing many drug's illegal status. Namely marijuana.
