@Zardoz,
Quote:
You can’t prove that people that purchase chainsaws did so to cut down trees some claim they just like to hear the sound the saws makes. But what we do know is that most did purchase a chainsaw to cut trees down. Just as most people purchase a gun to kill people with whether real or imagined. When you purchase a gun for “protection’ you are hoping you can kill an intruder before he kills you. In your post you were talking about gun owners in general.

What a stupid comparison with no basis in reality.

Quote:
I know that you like lies and the right is making a big effort to make sure a good portion of America’s population is not counted just like the right made a big effort to stop minorities from voting.

The only lies being told here are by you, everything you say about guns and gun owners is a lie.

Quote:
You like Trump believe the only Americans are those who look like him.

Wrong again, I'm the father of 2 mixed race children. The only Americans are the actual US citizens, not those illegal immigrants you think are Americans.

Quote:
The NRA is a private organization and as such does not have divulge who is a member and no subpoena can be used to get the information.

That is true, but that doesn't stop the media from digging into someone's background. If they were NRA members, the media would find out and report it. Since they have never found such info, I'm going to say with a high level of certainty, that none of the mass shooters have been NRA members.

Quote:
The fact is that some gun manufacturers automatically buy an NRA membership for anyone that buys their gun. Since most mass murderers buy their gun legally it would be hard for them not to be an NRA member. It is not like the NRA requires members be sane.

What you say is partially true, but that would only account for a 1 year membership, which costs $40. Keep saying something you don't have the slightest bit of proof of.

Quote:
Do you think the police would also check if someone belonged to the local country club?

They would if it had some sort of bearing on the event in question. It doesn't change the fact that the media would find the info and report it.

Quote:
He actually lost the popular election by 10 million votes and his electoral margin was razor thin determined by only a few thousand votes in three states.

How many lies can you tell in one post? The popular vote was lost by 2.8 million votes. It doesn't matter through because the President is chosen by the Electoral College, which Trump won very easily. 304-227, he only needed 270, he won by 34 EC votes.

Quote:
So, $50 million could easily determined the election.

In an election where he was outspent by almost double, Hillary raised $1.1 Billion and Trump raised $646 Million. Do you really think $50 million made that big a difference?

Quote:
Blaming the media is like the twinkie defense, the twinkie gave me a sugar high and that is why I killed them. The media has been some form of media around for a thousand of years but the big increase in mass murders can be traced directly back to the birth of the AR-15.

You are talking out of both sides of your mouth. You complain that the next shooter wants to be the "best", so they read the media reports about the event, every last detail... yet the media isn't to blame for supplying this information?
The AR-15 has been around for over 60 years, the mass shootings didn't start in earnest until the 1990's... stop being daft.

Quote:
Guns have nothing to do with murder? Just as a chainsaw has nothing to do with cutting down trees. We are not talking only about Japan the murder is far higher than any other civilized country.

Guns have nothing to do with murder, people are killed with all sorts of items. Do people use guns most often? Sure, but who is committing those crimes? You never address the fact that the majority of murders in the US take place in the big cities, with the most restrictive gun laws.

Quote:
Your 43% is arrived at by say the husband owns the gun, then counting the wife as owning the same gun and then counting the family dog as owning the same gun. The figure is 30% and falling.

With the average home having more than 1 gun, it's possible for each member of the family to own a gun. I know lots of gun owners and not a single one of them has ever been asked about their gun ownership. Who are these people they are asking?

Quote:
The design capacity of the AR-15 is 900 rounds a minute the semi-automatic AR-15 and automatic AR-15 are exactly the same gun only the trigger mechanisms is different and the semi-automatic can be modified the capability is there.

Do you realize how stupid you sound? You can't fire a semi-auto rifle at 900 rpm, it just isn't physically possible. The best you could do would be 65 rpm. It's illegal to modify a semi-auto rifle to fire full auto. How many of these guns have been used in a mass shooting? I'll put it in car terms for you. Think of the semi-auto as the governor on an engine, sure it can go quicker but it's illegal to remove them.

Quote:
In most jurisdictions, adultery is also illegal. It is in violation of the law only after the fact. Most mass murderer’s goal is to kill 50 people or so, they are not going to worry about a gun regulation. That is not a deterrent.

Another stupid comparison.

Quote:
The bump stocks made a semi-automatic fire like an automatic. The real work is using the exhaust to chamber the next round.

Bump stocks are now also illegal. So you have an issue with semi-auto guns in general, not the AR-15.

Quote:
Have you heard of wishful thinking? In your case it is wishful reading you are readings things that are not there.

The only person reading into anything is you. Do you have an factual or Constitutional proof/fact that states we only get the Rights as they were written for the technology of the day? Prove this to me as it relates to the rest of Constitution and all of our modern day conveniences.

Quote:
All sort of restrictions on guns have been put in place all across the country and upheld in court.

More of them have been overturned than upheld. I'll point out that the 9th Circuit Court recently upheld that it is legal to carry a loaded gun around in the state of CA... sounds like the court rulings are not in your favor.

Quote:
Gun nuts always site the Heller case as a grand victory, but it is like Custer claiming a great victory at little big horn. This case destroys the gun nut argument that the second amendments entitles them to any gun that was ever invented because the decision makes it extremely clear that access to dangerous and deadly weapons can be regulated. In this decision they won the battle but lost the war.

You are not even close to correct. If it were a victory for the anti-gun groups, the SCOTUS wouldn't have ruled against them. Instead they ruled in favor of gun rights. Only a loony liberal could think of a pro-gun ruling as in their favor.

Quote:
Hammers have been around much longer than guns but there is little to no improvement in hammers. A hammer 200 years ago is basically the same today. So there no reason for the founding fathers to believe that guns would be any different.

Ever heard of a nail gun? I guess you could call it an assault hammer...

Quote:
So there no reason for the founding fathers to believe that guns would be any different.

They fought a war for their freedom, of course they knew tech would improve, the first President was a War General. What sort of mental gymnastics do you have to do, to come up with this crap.

Quote:
Your wishful reading has been shot down by many court decisions.

Which court rulings by the SCOTUS have ruled against the gun owners?

Quote:
The courts decision show beyond any and all doubt that your reading of the second amendment is just wishful reading.

Once again, which court ruling was that? The SCOTUS ruled that the 2nd Amendment applies to Americans, it said nothing about a militia, which is what you anti-gun wacko's seem to think the 2nd Amendment says, the SCOTUS disagree's with that stance.

@Baldimo,
I think it is a pretty good comparison, a gun is nothing more than a tool that was designed for an intended purpose which in this case is killing people. A chainsaw is also a tool that was designed for an intended purpose and they both make loud noises.

___________________________________________________
If they were lies, they would not bother you it is the truth that scares you.

___________________________________________________
The real population of any country is the number of people living in that country. There are many people that have lived in this country almost their entire life and served in the military, but they don’t have a paper saying they are a citizen. Trump, the chief importer of illegal aliens in America, got five deferments to keep from serving in the military. Trump is far less entitled to be a citizen than many dreamers. The census is important because it allocates resources such as roads and schools. There are at least 10 million people without papers. If the country is designed using lies everyone suffers because of red neck right ignorance. The Nazis, the KKK and white nationalist are responsible for pushing this ignorance. You can choose to live in ignorance or face reality.

____________________________________________________
Mass murders are gun nut crimes and gun nuts are more than likely NRA members. I am sure that mass murderers belong to many organizations, but I have never seen a list of the organizations that a mass murderer belonged to that was published. Since no other organizations that the mass murderers are in are listed there is no reason that the NRA would be given special treatment. What about that son of a gun instructor that was involved in a shooting on a college campus no doubt he was an NRA member? The NRA may be providing his attorney.

____________________________________________________
That is absolutely true some gun manufacturers do but an NRA membership for those who purchase their guns. I did not say every gun manufacturer bought NRA memberships for those who purchased their guns.

____________________________________________________
Nikolas Cruz the mass murderer that killed 17 in a FL high school was trained to kill people with NRA grants. Cruz was a member of the high school marksmanship team. So, the NRA is doing its parts to train the Future Mass Murderers of America (FMMA).

____________________________________________________
The electoral college was determined by a few thousand votes in three states that were so close they were recounted without the Russian help he would have lost. In other words, he could have won those three states by one vote in each state and had the same electoral total. It is a winner take all votes in most states and is not representative of the state population. The last count I checked the count Clinton had a 10 million lead after California was counted. After all votes were counted Trump still lost by almost 3 million votes with the NRA and the Russian doing everything, they could do to help him.

____________________________________________________
You forget the Russian put a couple of trillion in of goods and services into the Trump campaign.
___________________________________________________
You want to kill the messenger. The military assault weapons are the problem. There will always be free speech and crimes will always be reported. The mass murders have been increasing since the AR-15 was invented. A mass murderer killed 13 in 1949. The NRA is now training the future mass murderers of America.

____________________________________________________
It does not matter where they take place. Guns have a design purpose and that purpose is murder.

____________________________________________________
Only 30% of American homes have guns even if they count homes with multi guns.

____________________________________________________
I did not come up with the 900 round figure that is the manufacturers specification. If you think the manufacturer has no idea what they are talking about that is up to you. The fact semi-automatics can be modified to take advantage of design limit. The bump stock was just one possible modification. It is not illegal to remove or modify a governor on a car. It actually is very common to buy modified computer chips to override the governor and make cars go faster.

____________________________________________________
It is like the speed limit. It is illegal to exceed the speed limit but when you get on the interstate it is rare to find someone that isn’t exceeding the speed limit. Someone that is planning mass murder is not going to worry about some gun regulation that standing in his way of killing more people.

____________________________________________________
The problem is the AR-15 can easily be modified and a law will not stop a mass murderer from achieving his goal.

____________________________________________________
Anyone that will assume that if you have a contract for a hundred dollars a week that it means that you are entitled to a million. That is what you are doing with guns you now think that you are entitled to a million. Think of a right as a contract you are entitled only to what the contract stated at the time. The terms were defined at the time of the second amendment writing you are not entitled to any future definition of that term.

____________________________________________________
If the circuit court rulings are not in line with the supreme court decisions, they will be overturned on appeal.

____________________________________________________
I have read thousands of courts decisions in business law classes and labor law classes. Sometimes the important part of the decision is not obvious. The Heller decision overturned the law against hand guns but wanted to make it crystal clear that guns could be regulated it was just this particular law that was in question not all gun laws. The ruling is deliberately narrow.
A nail gun may do the same thing, but it is not a hammer.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
No freedom is an absolute. There will always be limits on individual freedom because one’s freedom to kill or rape violates the freedom of others. If you were absolutely free you could kill everyone you wanted to. All laws infringe on someone’s freedom. For instance, you must keep your grass cut. If you don’t you can be arrested, jailed and fined $500. One morning the Police department arrested several of the biggest landlords and took them to court. Their neighbors claimed that their rights were being violated by the unkept lawns.

____________________________________________________
The Heller decision states that dangerous and deadly weapons can be regulated. They wanted to make it perfectly clear that guns can be regulated.

____________________________________________________
If your reading of second amendment wasn’t wishful thinking there could never be any regulations on guns and there are all kinds of regulations on guns.

If the legislature tried to create a law to restrict guns that are "easy to modify" how exactly would "ease of modification" be defined?

This does not strike me as something that would be very easy to write into law.

Only a simpleton would make such a comparison.

Quote:

Not one truth comes from your keyboard when it comes to the subject of guns. Facts have been provided to you, you have chosen to ignore them. Much like a child with their fingers in their ears repeating the same thing over and over again so you can't hear the truth.

Quote:

Wrong, the population of a country is it's actual citizens.

Quote:

More lies? "Almost" isn't born here and isn't a US citizen. If they served in the military, they have a fact track program to make them US citizens. We had a Vietnamese kid in our unit while deployed who did this very thing, I was happy and honored to attend his naturalization ceremony and welcome a new American to our ranks. The problem with your racists rhetoric is that it doesn't match what people such as me actually think.

Quote:
Trump, the chief importer of illegal aliens in America,

HA! You are really saying he is responsible for a majority of illegal immigrants in this country?

Quote:
got five deferments to keep from serving in the military.

How many years did you serve in the military?

Quote:
Trump is far less entitled to be a citizen than many dreamers.

That is just factually wrong on many levels. Your personal feelings have nothing to do with who is or isn't a citizen. There is actual criteria for such things.

Quote:
The census is important because it allocates resources such as roads and schools.

The original purpose of the census was to allocate Representatives for Congress, that is still it's primary purpose. That is the Constitutional basis for the census, it had nothing to do with allocating resources.

Quote:
There are at least 10 million people without papers. If the country is designed using lies everyone suffers because of red neck right ignorance. The Nazis, the KKK and white nationalist are responsible for pushing this ignorance. You can choose to live in ignorance or face reality.

Whose fault is it those 10 million, that's a low # by the way, most estimates to include all levels of illegal immigration put the # closer to 20 million.

The rest of that paragraph is just garbage.

Facts, links or proof?

Quote:

The EC, is actually the popular vote in each state. More propaganda as even Obama said there was no hacking of the election or counting systems. Stop making things up. You are and the left in the US are suffering from a new form of Red Fever, except there is no more Soviet Russia.

Quote:

It is actually the popular vote of each state, that gets the EC votes for that state. So yes, democracy does indeed work.

Quote:

Wrong again, you should really check the #'s, the data is easily available on the internet. the same goes for the campaign money trails. It's more of that imagined propaganda you have going on in your head.
Trump: 62,984,828 $686 Million
Clinton: 65,853,514 $1.1 Billion

Quote:

False. Hillary had more foreign money involved in her campaign, to include Russian money.

Quote:
You want to kill the messenger.

I don't want to kill anyone. It's your side of the aisle that has shown the most tendency towards violence.

Quote:
The military assault weapons are the problem.

No they are not. Civilians can only own semi-auto rifles.

Quote:
There will always be free speech and crimes will always be reported.

There isn't always free speech, people such as yourself are trying to end free speech, you are the enemy of the Constitution. Nothing in your political ideals line up with the Constitution.

Quote:

More pointless and meaningless rhetoric.

As for the rest of this claptrap, I'm done. You've started to repeat the already disproved "facts" you think are correct. Your complete and utter lack of knowledge on guns or current gun laws makes this an exercise in futility.

@oralloy,
The early 70s were the golden age of muscle cars. Elephant motors were great for the drag strip but going through corners with an 800 lb. elephant motor up front was dangerous at best. Fatal car accidents were on the upswing. The car insurance companies decided to crack down. The more horsepower your car had the more your car insurance cost. The car makers countered by changing how horsepower was measured. Horsepower was rated on a free-standing motor on a dyno with no accessories. After the insurance companies keyed on horsepower the car companies changed how they measured horsepower. They then started measuring horsepower at the rear wheels with all accessories installed. This cut the horsepower rating significantly.

It would be very easy to write. To start with you would look at the design specifications of the gun. If the design capability is there the AR-15 would be banned. The modifications simply exploit the underlying design capabilities.

If the definition is very easy to write, go ahead and write it. I think you'll find that it isn't very easy to define after all.

The muscle car era actually peaked in 1969. In 1970 Chevy's big block 427s got replaced with small block 350s. In 1971 GM did away with all of their high compression motors altogether. In 1972 the other automakers also did away with their high compression motors.

One tool compared to another is about as fair a comparison as you can get after all they both make loud noises. Sometimes people that have a hard time grasping something in one context find it easier to grasp in another.
____________________________________________________________________________
The only important fact in this argument is that guns designed to fight wars with are being used to slaughter school children for no good reason. And it has to stop.

____________________________________________________
Population is defined as the number of people living in a country. It says absolutely nothing about citizens.

____________________________________________________
The dreamers were small children when they were bought here by their parents. They had no choice in the matter. This argument was inspired by the communist and Trump. For decades the rich landowners depended on Mexican labor to pick their crops. Illegal immigration had been going down for 10 years before Trump agitations stirred it up. At one time it was the blacks that were considered to be the inferior race and the KKK led the panic. There is no difference what the KKK did to blacks and what Trump is doing to the Hispanics. When you get up and tell the press that the Mexicans are rapists, gang members and murderers that is good old fashion racism. The rich were the one that bought the Mexicans into the country for cheap labor just as Trump is doing now.

____________________________________________________
We had a public works director that was born in Mexico. His dad was Mexican brain surgeon and his mom was from here. Trump and the red neck right would deny him citizenship because he was born in Mexico if they get their way.

___________________________________________________
Trump is one of the biggest importers of illegals he uses them like the rich have always used them for cheap labor.

I did not serve in the military. I had a student deferment for a while which I later dropped, and I was eligible for the draft. The Vietnam war was winding down and my number was not pulled.

The only reason Trump is here is the Germans would not let his whore running grandfather back into Germany otherwise Trump would be speaking German today.

____________________________________________________
While there is a primary purpose there are many secondary purposes for the census that are far more important now than the original purpose.
Who is responsible for the illegals being here? The ungodly greed who paid them next to nothing and got far richer off of cheap labor.

____________________________________________________
This is a very lucid argument because the vast majority of mass murders are gun nuts first. They have one thing in common they worship at the alter of the gun.

____________________________________________________
“The alleged Florida Shooter Member of School Rifle Team Given NRA Grant: Report” Source: The Hill The NRA no doubt paid for the ammunition so that the mass murderer could learn the best way to kill.

____________________________________________________
The electoral college does not represent the popular vote. It is a winner take all system designed for the 18th century. Some states apportion the electoral votes by the vote total, but most don’t if they all did the electoral vote would reflect the popular vote.

____________________________________________________
The Russians spent much more time on the internet spreading stories like Hillary running a child molestation ring run out of a bakery in Washington DC. We know for a fact that Trump was voted in by the undereducated that would believe any and all Russian lies. The ignorant were selectively targeted using Face Book information. This information was so sophisticated that Russian generals believe that it will replace modern warfare. Russian believe that misinformation can do more harm to America than an atomic bomb. The only person that doesn’t believe that the Russian put Trump in office is Trump and he lied about it. As former military you should be concerned when enemy generals bragging about their attack on America.

____________________________________________________
The EC does not reflect the popular vote it is a winner take all system.
I followed the election in real time as it was happening, but it has been a couple years since I looked for updated vote totals.

____________________________________________________
Russian conducted a full-scale military misinformation operation and it was the most sophisticated military attack ever known. Putin was scared to death of Hillary because she had all most succeeded in get him voted out of office, but Putin loves that sucker Trump who has stated publicly he wants to be Putin’s best friend.

You must have forgot all the Nazis and KKK burning torches on a VA college campus. That is the public face of the new Republican party.

Free speech will endure but using it as a weapon will not be allowed.
The fact is the AR-15 and knockoffs are designed for mass murder and nothing will change that.

Cars are a much better comparison, they actually kill more people per year than guns do.

Sorry, but the guns designed for wars are not available to civilians. Guns used in wars have a select fire of either full auto or burst fire and are all newly made. No US military is using a gun made before 1986.

Quote:

I'll just disagree with you and simply say that the only people our politicians should be concerned with are US citizens. Legal or illegal immigrants have no right to draft or form policy for US citizens. The census is primarly used to assign Reps to Congress, non-citizens should have no representation in our govt. To campaign for such things should be seen as treason.

Quote:

Doesn't matter, they were not born in the US and therefore are not US citizens. They actually fall under the jurisdiction of their native country.

Quote:

People have been arguing against Dreamers since before Trump ran for President. I look forward to technology taking over those jobs and illegal immigrants staying in their countries to make them better, in this age of tech, there is no reason for people to be doing this back breaking work. Nothing screams irony more than an illegal immigrant protecting in the US for things when they didn't have the guts to do so in their own countries.

Quote:
Illegal immigration had been going down for 10 years before Trump agitations stirred it up.

What a lie. I never trusted the numbers coming out of the Obama admin, they were not for American interests, they were more concerned with illegal immigrant concerns. I believe the illegal immigrant population in the US is closer to 20 million than the 10 million they have be claiming for 10 years.
If your claim is that Trump talking bad about illegal immigrants caused an uptick in illegal immigration is foolish and lacks any facts. The leftists of this nation have done everything they could to prevent real border enforcement or immigration reform, they care more for immigrants then they do US citizens, notice they don't consider US citizens to be "dreamers" just immigrants. They've spent years tell our children that the American Dream is dead, yet they continue to promote it for non-citizens. Why is that?

Quote:

What a bunch of BS. It's very true that criminals come across the US border and kill and rape American citizens. We can prove this with just the number of illegal immigrants in our US prisons.

Quote:

More unfettered BS. If he had a US born parent, he is a US citizen. Nothing Trump has said would change that. It's the anchor babies, those born to non-US citizens that are the issue.

Wrong again, it's the left. They encourage all the illegal immigration with their promises of sanctuary and no deportation. Sure the farm owners and meat processing plants use lots of illegal immigration, but all that really does in lower wages for US workers to compete with the illegal immigrant workers.

This is a very lucid argument because the vast majority of mass murders are gun nuts first. They have one thing in common they worship at the alter of the gun.

No they aren't and you have no proof to back this up, just more BS emotional argument.

Quote:
“The alleged Florida Shooter Member of School Rifle Team Given NRA Grant: Report” Source: The Hill The NRA no doubt paid for the ammunition so that the mass murderer could learn the best way to kill.

So he was actually part of JROTC and they had a shooting team, which was sponsered by the NRA... that's a lot different than the NRA teaching him to shoot. You have 1 kid out of thousands of kids in JROTC programs and maybe hundreds on rifle teams, 1 kid. Nice try. I can point out more murders and rapes committed by illegal immigrants than you can with a kid who shot up his school. The sad event in all of this, is the lack of action by the entire leadership of the local area all the way up to the FBI, who were aware this kid was a problem. But you want to blame the NRA?

The electoral college does not represent the popular vote.

It does, the popular vote of each state, we are actual a nation of states, which is proven by the 10th Amendment.

Quote:
It is a winner take all system designed for the 18th century. Some states apportion the electoral votes by the vote total, but most don’t if they all did the electoral vote would reflect the popular vote.

I'll say it again for you slowly, so you can understand. The EC vote from each state is a reflection of the popular vote from that state. Unless you can prove that the EC votes went to the person who got the least amount of votes in that state, you have no leg to stand on.

The Russians spent much more time on the internet spreading stories like Hillary running a child molestation ring run out of a bakery in Washington DC.

The info spread by the Russians wasn't as effective as you and the losing left think it was. The only people who believed such a thing were people that were not going to vote for Hillary anyways.

Quote:
We know for a fact that Trump was voted in by the undereducated that would believe any and all Russian lies. The ignorant were selectively targeted using Face Book information.

Once again the facts are not in your favor, it was actually educated white women who put Trump over the top. The Russians targeted everyone with their propaganda and were running anti-Trump stuff as well.

Quote:
This information was so sophisticated that Russian generals believe that it will replace modern warfare. Russian believe that misinformation can do more harm to America than an atomic bomb. The only person that doesn’t believe that the Russian put Trump in office is Trump and he lied about it. As former military you should be concerned when enemy generals bragging about their attack on America.

The info wasn't that sophisticated, stop giving them so much credit. Hillary was a horrible candidate that just about anyone in the GOP would have beaten.
Did you hear the story about the DNC doner who paid for fake Russian ads to target a GOP candidate? Yes, an American made fake Russian accounts to promote a GOP candidate and then "reported" about the accounts.

I don't think their "attack" was as "successful" as they claim it was. Hillary was a horrible candidate and would have lost to anyone who won the GOP nomination. The same crap would be said about anyone who ran against Hillary. The MSM has so much invested in her win, it was funny to see them almost cry on election night.

Quote:
The EC does not reflect the popular vote it is a winner take all system.

It reflects the popular vote for each state. We don't vote as a nation, we vote as 50 states.

Quote:
I followed the election in real time as it was happening, but it has been a couple years since I looked for updated vote totals.

I did as well, and Trump won the election. Hillary didn't even bother to campaign in some of the states she lost, so she is to blame for those states she lost.

Free speech will endure but using it as a weapon will not be allowed.

Without the 2nd Amendment, there would be no 1st Amendment. I'll also point out that the 1st Amendment is also in trouble, you have proven that with your last line, "using it as a weapon"... Free speech is free speech, you can't decide it's use. People like you are a threat to the Constitution and should be ignored.

@Baldimo,
I believe in a "living" Constitution. I don't support "strict constructionism" and I'm highly critical of "originalism".

I think it was the emergence of originalism which led to the argument Zardoz used about muskets. Some years back a historian came out with the contention that the framers were talking specifically about muskets and muzzle-loaders and that the 2nd A was limited to those. Yes, we know that there were breechloading prototypes, air guns, and multi-barreled weapons around at the time — how widely they were in use, I do not know. I think it's safe to say that most of the firearms possessed by the colonists were muzzle-loaders. And some people have combined this belief with originalism and have come to the conclusion that you reject.

Personally, I don't like to rely on arguments which depend on present day people attempting to determine, in depth, the content of people's minds over two hundred years ago. I distrust those who claim to be able to interpret the intentions of the Founding Fathers with no room for ambiguity and just happen to end up with Madison and Jefferson totally agreeing with them. And the more certain they claim to be, the less I trust them.

So maybe you want to know why I don't confront Zardoz on some of his statements? Because I like the musket argument — it draws attention to what I see as a weakness of originalism. Remember, I believe in the "living" constitution. I say that it doesn't matter what the particulars concerning firearms were in 1790. What matters is the status of firearms in our society today. And if we see a problem and can't seem to adequately address it because of Constitution-based objections I say it's time to re-visit the 2nd Amendment and tighten it, clarify it, rewrite or possibly repeal it. And in order to effect that sort of political change we'll need people to discuss the Amendment — and the musket argument should be part of the discussion. It makes people think historically.

The Constitution only means what the courts say it means. It's my hope that the currently conservative Supreme Court gains enough liberal justices at some time to do what needs to be done. When a clear majority of the citizens demand stricter controls on firearms and more pro-control judges are seated we'll begin to see some progress. It doesn't look like it will be in my lifetime but I think it will happen.

I'll be interested in watching how the liberalization of firearms laws in Brazil works out. It should pose a real test of the "armed society = polite society" hypothesis.

If they meant muskets, they would have said muskets, instead they used the term "arms" which had and still has general meaning referring to guns.

You should try reading the Federalist/anti-Federalist papers. The Founding Fathers laid out their arguments there.

You could continue to lie to the people or be honest about the Founders intent. I'll once again point you to the Federalist and anti-Federalist papers.

That's the sad side of the Constitution. I don't think the Founders had in mind an unelected court to determine what the rights of the people were. The whole intention of the Constitution was to provide the limits to Federal power and expand on the Liberty the Founding Fathers had with the creation of this country.
You would never agree with a court that said Abortion isn't Constitutional as there is no mention of it in the Constitution, it's a medial procedure and the federal govt has the right to say what is and isn't a legit medical procedure. They could consider the murder of unborn babies to be an illegal medical procedure... Would the court be right?

Seeing as how they already have one of the highest murder rates in the world, I don't see how allowing people to finally protect themselves in such an environment would lead to more innocent people being killed. In 2017, with a population of 200 million, there were over 50,000 murders and no right to own a gun for defense.

This is why leftists are bad. It is wrong to pretend that our civil liberties don't exist.

I know I'm replying to your post about "your views" by referring to "the left's views". But leftists in general share this horrible ideology with you, so I think it is fair to condemn them as well.

If leftists get their way in saying that civil liberties apply only to ancient technology, Trump will be allowed to censor political opinions on the internet.

The left's dislike for sound factual arguments is unfortunate. Fortunately conservatives still value facts and reality.

Hold on here. Originalists do not argue that civil liberties only apply to ancient technology. Attacking that idea as a way to criticize originalism is a straw man fallacy.

The Second Amendment does not prevent problems from being addressed. Restrictions on guns are allowed if the restrictions can be justified with a good reason.

What the Second Amendment forbids is restrictions that cannot be justified with a good reason.

It also makes for a quick defeat of your position.

That is incorrect. The courts are tasked with the job of enforcing the Constitution, but they do not change its meaning.

This is why it is so important to vote for Trump and the Republicans. It is the only way to prevent our courts from being packed with leftist judges who will allow our rights to be violated.

That depends on what you mean by progress. The American people will always value civil liberties, so the left certainly is not going to succeed in abolishing them.

@Baldimo,
Cars could be considered a tool but a far more complex tool. There are more guns in America than registered cars. Cars are used far more but the important difference is for the most part the people killed with cars are killed in accidents while those killed with guns are killed intentionally.
The AR-15 was designed to fight wars and a slight modification was made so it could be legally sold. I have a couple Dodge Stealths the prototype for the design was a working race car that was reversed engineered to make it street legal. With most car they take a street vehicle and add a bigger motor and stiffen the suspension. But in the case of the stealths they took a few things off to make it street legal. That is the way that did with those weapons of war they made the minimum modification so they could sell them on the street. It is just plain greed on the gun manufacturers part. Assaults weapons are weapons of war. They continue to make assault weapons to this day.

Certainly, they are not citizens under current regulations but there is a point when basic human decency kicks in and a path to citizenship should be available.

____________________________________________________
The US birth rate has fallen to a ten-year low. Like many older European countries, we will no longer be able to sustain the population without immigration. Social security will no longer be practical for the next generation. Most immigrants are maids, like those who work for Trump, or picking crops or other menial jobs. Those who have high tech are recruited from India or other third world countries because we only graduate a fraction of the engineers that we need because the Republican greed has destroyed our secondary public education system.

____________________________________________________
When they cracked the atom, they created the atom bomb but when Russia cracked ignorance it was a million times more powerful. One of Putin’s right-hand men has a back ground in theater and his greatest accomplishment was to create all types of groups including one against Putin to convince the public that there is no such thing as truth. Everything is fiction you simply choose whatever fiction you would like to believe. This is what Russia has exported to America. Trump did it with unemployment insisting the figures were wrong under Obama but bragging about them when he was in office.

____________________________________________________
One of the complaints about the press coverage of mass murders is that they inspire other mass murderers that would apply to illegal immigration also Trump kept it in the headlines all the time it would cause more illegal immigration and that is what he has done. Trump makes headlines in all the third world countries when he complains about illegal immigration and inspires more illegal immigration.
_________________________________________________________________________________
You may have been asleep, but the political parties changed sides on racism in the 60s when the democrats passed civil rights legislation. The racist southern democrats became the new Republican party. LBJ said when the civil rights legislation was passed that the south would be lost for generation and the southern strategy has been the racist wind under the Republican wings for fifty years now.

____________________________________________________
When it comes to rape and murder 99% of it is done by Americans. Why would Trump surround himself and his family with these people if he believed they were rapist and murderers?
____________________________________________________________________________________
Trump wanted to change that, if someone was born in a foreign country to American parents, they would no longer be an American citizen and he wants to stop chain immigration so they would just have to leave their child in an orphanage.

That is easy to prove Trump gets 70 visas for illegals aliens at just one of his 500 businesses do the math.

The old adage is don’t volunteer. I had a choice between Marshall University and Vietnam Tech and Marshall was much closer to home. I was eligible for the draft, which is more than I can say about Trump, and your number could be number one and you would still have gone winding down or not. The bravest of this generation went to Canada because they actually had the courage of their convictions. The others were like cattle being sent to the slaughter to enslave and starve a third world country.

____________________________________________________
If you read the Trump family biography you would know the truth. Illegal immigration is one thing but when the country you born in refuses to let you back in is another. Of course, Trump’s grandfather was doing what Trump did he was avoiding military service in Germany by coming to America.

A winner take-all system where one vote determines the award of every electoral vote cannot represent the popular vote. There is currently a bill pending to do away with the electoral college and elect the president by popular vote. Every other elected official is elected by popular vote. If it represented the popular vote the popular vote would always agree with the EC.

____________________________________________________
It is very simple when popular vote goes to one candidate and the electoral college to another it does not represent the popular vote.

The Russian general who ran the operation would disagree with you. The child molestation was just one of thousands of stories that were targeted at under educated like smart bombs. The country that masters ignorance will rule the world without firing a shot and Russia is light years ahead of us in this field.

___________________________________________________
The facts are in my favor after election results were thoroughly studied and it has been widely reported that Trump was elected by the under educated. The most gullible among us were targeted because they would believe anything. The Russian used the most sophisticated data to target only certain segments that markets studies show could be easily influenced.
Marketing has become far more sophisticated and they can tell far more about you than you would ever believe along with sophisticated information gathered by political parties. All this information can be handled by modern computer systems. Face book was a gold mine of information which they sell to marketers. The Russians obtained the information from Face Book. The Russians knew exactly who was likely to believe their lies and targeted those people. Warfare has evolved from rocks and clubs to atomic bombs and now the most lethal weapon of all turns out be misinformation. What we know about the Russian operation is coming from our intelligence sources in Russia.
_________________________________________________________________________________
I am not surprised that when a political attack takes place that others would try and imitate it. False information in a political campaign is not unheard of but a military operation conducted by an enemy is completely different. They did not portray that the information came from the Russians they just tried to get it spread over Face Book.
___________________________________________________________________________________
Nobody believed Trump had a chance to win the election not even Trump. He had already told the media that the system was rigged to cover his loss. Almost all the polls showed Trump was a sure loser except those polls Trump was paying for and it is now documented that Trump was paying to fix polls. I still doubt that we have found everything the Russian did. Hillary was a good candidate, but the red neck right had targeted her with misinformation for 20 years. They had a running start ___________________________________________________________________________________
If the EC reflected the popular vote they would agree, and they don’t.
Trump got elected by the skin of his teeth close to 3 million more people voted against him. Without the Russians Trump would have lost in a landslide.

____________________________________________________
The Republican Party started recruiting racists back in the 60s after the civil right legislation was passed and it has been a cumulative project that the KKK and Neo-Nazis now consider them selves Republicans and fully endorse Trump.
__________________________________________________________________________________

I am sure there were M-16 which is military designation for the AR-15.
____________________________________________________
No rule is without an exception and no right can ever be without limits. There will always be cases where granting one person a right will step on the rights of others and limits will have to be imposed. A man surely has a right to have sex, but he does not have a right to have sex with your seven-year- old daughter. If your daughter is 18 it is up to her. There will always be limits.

Count all the people, no one said not to count them. Asking who is and isn't a citizen is perfectly fine, and gives us a real count of the immigrant population. That's the real fear of the left, the actual number of illegal immigrants in the US would be exposed and with the the lies of the left.

Quote:

Basic human decency has nothing to do with granting citizenship, and everything to do with no rewarding law breaking behavior. We granted amnesty once, and it solved nothing, all it did was make the problem worse. Instead of 3 million illegal immigrants, we now have closer to 20 million. Human decency includes following the laws and rules of the country you broke into.

Quote:

Gee, I wonder why that would be... I'm sure it has nothing to do with the tens of millions of abortions that have taken place in our nation. I'm also sure the breakdown of the core family hasn't contributed either.

Quote:

We don't actually have to sustain the population, with the advancements in technology, there are going to be jobs that disappear, why would we import more people who won't be able to find work? That's only expanding the "free stuff" crowd, a socialist dream of course.

It isn't practical for this generation or my generation who is next on the list for SS. This is why the system needs to be changed, not expanded on an already dead idea.

Wrong again. Less than 10% of the illegal immigrant population works in the fields. The majority actually work in either construction or other service industries, but not the fields. I'll point out that picking crops in the fields is one of the places where technology should be expanding, there is no reason for humans to be doing that sort of work for much longer. Once again tech will solve those problems without expanding the social spending.

Quote:

Our secondary education is actually one of the best in the world, it's why all those foreign students come here to be educated. The real problem is what students are choosing to study, and it isn't the STEM fields. Students here in the US are more likely to choose Sociology then Engineering, which also adds to their inability to pay back their student loans. This is why I don't support free college, it would be wasted on fields of study that would provide no benefit to the general population.

This is exactly the sort of mental gymnastics only the left is capable of. It's actually the leftist and their weakness on illegal immigration that encourages more of it. Promises of being able to stay regardless of what the law says is more encouraging than saying we will deport you...

Why am I not surprised to see you bring up this "Dixicrat" myth. Look at the voting record, more Republicans voted for the civil rights act. In fact if it wasn't for the GOP, it never would have passed. Al Gore's dad was in the Senate at the time, and refused to vote on the act. More revisionist history.

Wrong again. He would limit citizenship rights to those who have 1 parent who is a US citizen. If neither parent is a US citizen, then citizenship isn't granted.

Not all mass murderers own guns, some of them have to steal or borrow them from other people. The San bernardino shooting by ISIS supporters is a perfect example. He didn't buy guns for him and his wife, they barrowed them from his neighbor. Some of the other shooters just took them from a family member.

Continue to prove your stupidity, they didn't use normal rifles, they were using air rifles, but you would know that if you actually looked into the story instead of taking the word for an uneducated anti-gun group.

Quote:
A winner take-all system where one vote determines the award of every electoral vote cannot represent the popular vote.

Yet it does represent the popular vote of that State. Lets use CO as a perfect example, Hillary won the popular vote in CO and got all the EC votes for CO. Now the states can choose how they want to divide up their EC votes, and almost all the states choose to give their EC votes to the winner of the popular vote of their respective State. Seeing as how our country is made up of 50 states, it works.

Quote:
There is currently a bill pending to do away with the electoral college and elect the president by popular vote.

Of course there is, when leftists can't win in the system, they want to change the system so they can win. When they realize the SCOTUS is preventing them from implementing Socialism because of it's incompatibility with the Constitution, they will seek to get rid of the SCOTUS. Losers always look to change the system.

Quote:
It is very simple when popular vote goes to one candidate and the electoral college to another it does not represent the popular vote.

It doesn't matter what the popular votes says, we have NEVER elected a President by popular vote. If you are a fan of one person one vote, then you should be speaking out against the state that actually gives everyone multiple votes, that seems pretty undemocratic.

Quote:
The facts are in my favor after election results were thoroughly studied and it has been widely reported that Trump was elected by the under educated.

What facts, every post you make is free of facts.

Quote:
The most gullible among us were targeted because they would believe anything.

You are correct, the MSM did target the most gullible among us, they convinced them that Hillary was a good candidate, when in reality she was the worst Presidential candidate in US history. She didn't even take the time to properly campaign in all of the states she needed to win. In fact all of the swing states she lost were the ones where she spent the least amount of time.

Quote:
Nobody believed Trump had a chance to win the election not even Trump.

He did believe he was going to win, in fact he stated it many times.

Quote:
He had already told the media that the system was rigged to cover his loss.

That's right, because he knew he was going to win, the only way he could lose was if there was cheating. Do you recall what the MSM and leftist reply was to that? They acted exactly as they claimed he was going to act. What he actually did was show them a mirror of what they were going to do when he won.

Quote:
Almost all the polls showed Trump was a sure loser except those polls Trump was paying for and it is now documented that Trump was paying to fix polls.

It seems you read 2 lines of story and make up the rest of it. The rigging claim is about a 2014 CNBC poll on influential business leaders, and the 2nd one was for a poll conducted by Drudge Report of potential Republican candidates in February 2015. 4 months before he announced his run for President. As usual, weak weak weak.

Quote:
If the EC reflected the popular vote they would agree, and they don’t.
Trump got elected by the skin of his teeth close to 3 million more people voted against him. Without the Russians Trump would have lost in a landslide.

We have never decided the Presidential race by the popular vote, it's never happened. The votes of one state, CA put Hillary over the top in the popular vote, but she didn't win the EC so she lost the election. When are you leftists going to figure out that we live in a Representative Republic, we do not live in a democracy.

Quote:
I am sure there were M-16 which is military designation for the AR-15.

Wrong again. Do you ever get tired of being wrong. The M-16 and the Ar-15 are not the same gun. They are as close to the same gun as a Volkswagen Bug and a Porsche are close the being the same car.

Quote:
No rule is without an exception and no right can ever be without limits.

This is the sort of line that a tyrant would say. People who are against liberty and freedom have a tendency to find a way around people's rights. The 2nd Amendment is in place to prevent this very type of person for holding power. Disarm the population and you open the door for tyranny, it's the socialist who want to disarm the public...

Quote:
There will always be cases where granting one person a right will step on the rights of others and limits will have to be imposed.

Rights are not granted, that's where you confuse the purpose of the Constitution. It's the exact reason why leftist want to see the Constitution done away with, it limits their ability to enslave Americans.

Quote:
A man surely has a right to have sex, but he does not have a right to have sex with your seven-year- old daughter. If your daughter is 18 it is up to her. There will always be limits.

He doesn't have that right, but the left is pushing for perverts to have this right. They support pedophiles and want to remove laws to make their perversion legal. Look at how they are sexualizing children and weakening the laws that keep children safe.

@Baldimo,
There is not a single case of 58 people being killed and 800 injured using a car. If they designed cars for the purpose of killing people far more people would be killed with cars. I doubt that they could kill 58 and injure over 800. Killing people is not the design purpose of a car but killing people but assault weapons were designed to kill high numbers of people.

The ungodly greedy are responsible for importing of the illegals for cheap labor. This has been going on for decades. I will agree that everybody needs to be counted. But if the immigrants are afraid that the information will be used to deport them, they will avoid being counted.
____________________________________________________
One of the main traits of psychopath is a lack of empathy. It is extremely easy to see one side of a situation, but it is much harder to put yourself on the other side of the situation. You are raised in this country from the time you were a small child this is the only country you have ever known. You didn’t ask to be born and they didn’t ask to be bought here. Then you wake up and find a bunch of Neo-Nazis have decided you have no right to be here just like the Nazis they would put them in a gas chamber if they could. It is easy to imagine what you want to believe reality is, but actual facts are much harder to deal with.

____________________________________________________
Of several reason listed for the birth rate decline abortion was not one of them. Birth control, women waiting longer to children because of careers and a lower teenage birthrate were the top causes. Birth rate decline is typical for industrial economies. Of course, in our overpriced greed based medical system child survival is below other industrial countries.
You sound like Hitler explaining to the Germany people why the Jews need to be gassed. This country is a large country with lots of unoccupied territory. What happens when there is no one to pick the crops? They don’t get picked and they don’t make it to the store.
_____________________________________________________________________________________
For tears the Republican party has tried to scare the public that there would be no social security and my daughter’s generation believes every word of it. But social security is surviving because of those 10 million illegal immigrants who are paying social security on false social security numbers.
You mean the majority illegals are working for Trump keeping up his golf courses. I have not run into many Mexican doctors or lawyers, but they are found in low skill jobs.

___________________________________________________
Because of 50 years of Republican tax cuts for the middle class can no longer afford a college education for their children. Tuition has gone up thousands of times to cover the lost tax dollars. Now children in third world countries can get a good education because their countries realize that the real wealth of a country depends on a good affordable education. A government political system designed to make the richest 1% of population richer will fail.
____________________________________________________
We have a thriving advertising sector because publicity works and the fact that illegal immigration went up as soon as Trump starting raving about it is very consistent with mega advertising that Trump has been doing.
All you have to do is see how the racist southern states voted in the Presidential election since the middle 60s. After David Dukes’ endorsement he delivered the racist south for Trump. You did not hear one Democrat saying that The KKK and the Neo-Nazis were fine people just the Republicans. Who was president when the Civil Rights Acts was signed into law?

____________________________________________________
Not to worry Trump has freed a lot of prisoners so the crime rate will go way up. People who commit crimes will continue to commit crimes. When I was in college working at a service station a guy came in and wrote me a bad check. He just got out of jail for writing bad checks that day it is what they do.

____________________________________________________
Citizenship would only go to those born on American soil. That was the problem Trump had with Obama. Obama’s mother was an American citizen and his father wasn’t. Trump contended that Obama was not an American citizen.
__________________________________________________________________________________
You simply have to do the math Trump hires 70 seasonal workers from Mexico each year for Mara Largo alone. That has been going on for several years. We know he is hiring illegals with forged papers at his New Jersey golf course also. With 500 businesses he must employ most of those 20 million illegals at his businesses.

____________________________________________________
Those that went to Vietnam went willingly to slaughter. Those with courage remained in America and put a stop to the war and saved both American and Vietnamese lives. It was the first time in history that the upcoming generation stopped a war and defeated the military industrial complex. That was the real war. The real chicken hawks, Rush Simbaugh, George W Bush, who signed the cowards pledge, and Dick Cheney and way too many Republican to list. The Chicken Hawks were the biggest advocates of war as long as they sent someone else.
____________________________________________________
The easiest thing to do is follow the stampede. You just go with the flow. You don’t have to think whether what your doing is right or wrong. You just do what your told. What is hard is going against the current. That takes courage. There are many that went to prison or jail for jail instead of Canada. The demonstration against were violent with riots where buildings were set on fire. There were others that were shot on Kent state campus.
South Vietnam was far better under the communists than under the French who were shipping all the food back to France while the Vietnamese watched their families starve to death. Vietnam was an occupied country like America was once occupied by the English. Is America better off now or do you think we would be better off if we were still occupied?

___________________________________________________
I don’t know where you got your information but mine comes from Trump biography which is far more detailed than anything you will find on line. When Trump’s grandfather goes back to Germany and tries to get back in is when he marries his wife. In Europe wars were common. I will get my copy of Trump’s biography and fill in the details.

The census will always be used to allocate scarce resources.

We are not worried about the gun owners that are not shooting anyone it is those who are murdering 58 people at a time that is the problem.
____________________________________________________
If the guns are in the house the children will get their hands on them sooner or later. Again, why would anyone have assault weapons in the first place and even if you had them why in the world would you loan them to someone?

____________________________________________________
Why in the world would they use air rifles? The basic skill they need to learn is how to shoot. I can’t believe they did not have access to real guns even if they belonged to the instructor.

____________________________________________________
Where does the Electoral college originate? It was born of slavery. The slave states didn’t get to count blacks as people so their population was lower than it would otherwise be. So, the electoral system allowed them to count 50% of blacks toward their population. The electoral College is out dated system born of slavery.

____________________________________________________
Never say never there is always a first time to undo an injustice.

____________________________________________________
Do you have a television? Or maybe you never watch a news program. That would be consistent with someone who voted for Trump. They are called low information voters.

____________________________________________________
The articles on MSN are from The New York Times, The Washington Post, Wall Street Journal, Los Angles Times, along with some of the other most respected news organizations in the world. But there was not even one story posted from the Russian Military. While the Russian military had posted hundreds of stories on Face Book and false stores were reposted by Trump and family. I had followed Hillary long before there was an MSN or even an internet. When most people and General Motors realized the healthcare system was unsustainable she was holding rallies to do something about it. She would have had to beat Trump and the Russian military.
____________________________________________________________________________________
You can read the first-hand account of the evening of the election and Trump never wrote an acceptance speech. He has been telling the press for weeks the election system was fixed to cover his loss.

____________________________________________________
Trump pointed out that the reason he would lose is that the system was rigged.

____________________________________________________
You evidently didn’t get the full report from your article. There were three polls that he paid Red Finch to fix and if he paid to fix those he paid for others. That is just the ones we know about now. When you cheat to win you continue to cheat.

____________________________________________________
The reason we have never done it by popular vote is because the popular vote and the Electoral usually agreed until the more sophisticated targeting of political propaganda made it a joke that no longer represents the will of the people.
____________________________________________________
When the AR-15 was designed it was so far superior to anything the military had ever seen they asked the company to make a version of the AR-15 for the military that would be designated M-16. You need to read the history of the AR-15. It much like Chev makes a Camaro and they Make a Camaro Z-28 one is simply a modified version of the other.

____________________________________________________
Society could not exist without limits on rights. There are already limits in place on guns, admit it and the sky hasn’t fallen.

____________________________________________________
Rights were granted they did not fall from the sky. It says, “you have the right to bear arms.” If this came from aliens it would not need to be written down.

____________________________________________________
The constitution says you have the right to the pursuit of happiness. If sex is what makes your child molesting neighbor happy then by your reasoning, he has an absolute right to have sex with your 12 year-old-daughter and no one can make any regulation to stop it by your reasoning. It is in the Constitution. Society is not possible without compromises.
