An 18 year old kid can be trusted to enter a foreign land with a select fire assault weapon and NOT cause harm to innocent people but a 40 year old, hard working, tax paying person in America is not as responsible, not enough to be trusted to recreationally use the same gun on the range or protect his family in his home?
Or me personally - the weapons I carried on active duty are too dangerous for me to have at home or even possess after not wearing a uniform full time. How come one day it is fine for me to walk around with automatic weapons, and the next day I can no longer be trusted to use those weapons appropriately?
The 2A is designed to protect such weapons.
While walking down the street one day a US senator is tragically hit by a
truck and dies. His soul arrives in heaven and is met by St. Peter at the entrance.
"Welcome to heaven," says St. Peter. "Before you settle in, it seems there
is a problem. We seldom see a high official around these parts, you see,
so we're not sure what to do with you."
"No problem, just let me in," says the senator.
"Well, I'd like to, but I have orders from higher up. What we'll do is have
you spend one day in hell and one in heaven. Then you can choose where
to spend eternity."
"Really, I've made up my mind. I want to be in heaven," says the senator.
"I'm sorry, but we have our rules. And with that, St. Peter escorts him
to the elevator and he goes down, down, down to hell.
The doors open and he finds himself in the middle of a green golf course.
In the distance is a clubhouse and standing in front of it are all his friends
and other politicians who had worked with him.
Everyone is very happy and in evening dress. They run to greet him, shake
his hand, and reminisce about the good times they had while getting rich
at the expense of the people.
They play a friendly game of golf and then dine on lobster, caviar and
champagne. Also present is the devil, who really is a very friendly guy
who has a good time dancing and telling jokes. They are having such a good
time that before he realizes it, it is time to go. Everyone gives him a hearty farewell and waves while the elevator rises ..
The elevator goes up, up, up and the door reopens on heaven where St.
Peter is waiting for him.
"Now it's time to visit heaven."
So, 24 hours pass with the senator joining a group of contented souls
moving from cloud to cloud, playing the harp and singing. They have a good
time and, before he realizes it, the 24 hours have gone by and St. Peter returns.
"Well, then, you've spent a day in hell and another in heaven. Now choose
your eternity."
The senator reflects for a minute, then answers: "Well, I
would never have said it before, I mean heaven has been delightful, but I
think I would be better off in hell."
So St. Peter escorts him to the elevator and he goes down, down, down to
hell.
Now the doors of the elevator open and he's in the middle of a barren land
covered with waste and garbage.
He sees all his friends, dressed in rags, picking up the trash and putting
it in black bags as more trash falls from above...
The devil comes over to him and puts his arm around his shoulder.
"I don't understand," stammers the senator. "Yesterday I was here and there was a golf course and clubhouse, and we ate lobster and caviar, drank champagne, and danced and had a great time. Now there's just a wasteland full of garbage and my friends look miserable. What happened?"
The devil looks at him, smiles and says....... "Yesterday we were campaigning."
"Today you voted."
Sorry I didnt realize this forum was open to converts only.
AS you can obviously tell, from what transpired in this thread, this forum is closing fast to the Non-bots.

Kade said:Obama isn't taking your guns away you backwater hicks.
kade said:That is what makes us different. Trash people, with trash propaganda, with trash insight and thought, and ultimately, you will act according to your trash nature, and do whatever comes naturally, the most dishonorable possible way. Will you apologize? Never. Stubborn, stinking trash.
Do you think you were warned because you had a dissenting view? Or because of the manner in which you tried to get your point across?
As predicted I didnt expect you to be mature and just ignore my post.

I do understand this. I was warned to stop insulting, and I have.
However, you have just threatened me with physical harm, that goes well beyond any verbal insults that have been traded.
Ok
Lets discuss thisa intelligently, Is that possible?
how did you conclude " physical harm"
How about other possiblities, NON physical harm possibilities?
Did you even consider, or are you paranoid?
Ill tell you what... Ill be a man right now, the man you claimed I was not, and apologize not only for the "NON physical harm" threat, just posted but also for the post that I lost my temper.
Now what?
Ball in your court.
I just don't understand what kind of WARNING you were giving me...
But sure, I'm all about honest apologies. I'm sorry I implied that you were a redneck.
I am paranoid. I am threatened daily, from real people around the country, for my non-religion, my activism. Some people on this board scare me.
If you are man enough to admit you lost your temper, I am man enough to say I'm sorry for being insulting. You could say I lost my temper too...
