Termyn8or -> RE: Supreme Court Looks at Gun Ownership (3/18/2008 9:47:55 PM)

As you can see, I am here. I got here soon enough to read it all this time :-) The Constitution specifically states that it does not bestow rights. It merely defines them. People today do not see it that way though, thus the issue. In my opinion everyone over the age of eighteen should have a gun, ammunition for it and know how to use it. There should be shooting ranges at schools. The Parents should bring in the gun that will be used to teach their kid, at the end of the course, if they pass, the gun is given to them to take home. And it is a required course, if the family cannot afford a gun for each of their kids, they are provided, they just don't get to take them home. A government by the People, of the People and for the People would do this. A regime would not. Click click ? I would support bans on certain types of ammo within city limits. Not only do you not need a thirty ought six in an apartment building, you don't want it. Those things with a nice load in them will penetrate the outside walls of houses, let alone walls between rooms. So whatever gun you have, if you are in an urban area you are required to only shoot hollow points. They have less chance of completely penetrating the target and injuring someone standing behind them, let alone pierce them cleanly enough to go through a wall or a door. They also injure the target much more effectively. I can understand such restrictions. And as far as what are called arms, you use them with your arms. If you can't hold it up with one arm, I don't think you want it in an urban area. Like a fifty caliber. Somebody climbs into your window at night and you say "Hold on while I go get the tripod and clips". You need something in your hand. You need it now. BTW, if something like that ever happens to you, you shoot first. You tell the cops (if they come) that you said "Stop or I'll shoot and he didn't stop". If you like for Karma's sake you can say it after you shoot, and they will not stop bleeding so you spoke the truth. If you break into someone's house when it is dark you are asking for trouble because they are liable to be home. Sometimes you do run across someone who is tough and therefore you are probably armed. Whether you are really tough or armed does not matter. Try that shit at my house most likely there will be a camshaft for a 1966 Chevy 350 down your throat. Try it over my buddy's house you will get a broken neck and then dragged out in the backyard, literally, you'll be found in the morning. The cover of darkness works both ways you know. But what if it happened at my Mother's house ? Well it almost did. My sister had a real dikhead for a boyfriend and one day he broke in. My Mother tried to shoot him but we got her a break action revolver. I think it was a five shot but we told her to keep it loaded with four, because it had a solid firing pin I think. Well she forgot it was loaded and opened it, which let some of the rounds slide down under the ejector plate. Therefore it would not close to reset the mechanism to again raise the ejector plate. If not this guy would be dead. He was all high on acid, in love with my sister he thought, and rejected because he had abused her when they lived together. I almost killed him myself when I heard the saga of that and now you take it to my Mother ? I will not say exactly what I did, but surprisingly it was legal and effective. I am sure I lost more sleep over him being alive than I would've if he was dead. During that time I figured out what to do, and he is ruined now. All his mighty connections became worthless in a hurry. See when they busted him at my Mother's house he had a shitload of drugs and that all got swept under the rug. I knew who his connections were and I ruined them. I had never done anything like this to anyone, and haven't since, but you don't fuck with Mom. Nuff said ? This country was tamed by hard Men, much harder than I, and they meant for criminals to meet with their demise. I have no sympathy at all, not for a criminal. Someone who gets a shitty hand in life OK, but not a criminal. You have to draw a line somewhere. And carrying a gun ? Just make sure you got those hollow points in it. All the bleeding hearts are non sequitor because when it happens to them they will change their tune real fast. Wait until they get raped or something. In fact forcible rape should warrant the death penalty, as should using one of those date rape drugs. If you will do that I do not want you on the planet and I will look right into your Parent's eyes and say "You just can't go around doing that, you should've taught them better". Just like that. Yes, just like that. Burying your kid would be the punishment for not teaching them right from wrong. Then sit back and watch the world change, for the better this time. Maybe in some ways I am harder than those who tamed this country. As said in an old episode of Star Trek "Death is the equation". Well we are at about three hundred million and counting, so I think the results are in. Go figure. (I meant that literally, too many people, too much crime, getting worse, figure it out) If we don't get to 100 pages by tomorrow I might be back. T
