Though I can prove I am a state. But people need to get the basics down first.

I gave him all my shortcuts many of which was not taught because I was going to flunk the test if I did not. He accepted them as valid. But then he was qualified and knew what he was doing.

Real0ne -> RE: Gun rights vs responsibilities by the government (7/4/2011 1:58:54 PM)
having a citation and a case are entirely different. sorry.

Moonhead -> RE: Gun rights vs responsibilities by the government (7/4/2011 2:01:14 PM)
You don't have either in this case, true enough. (Or indeed, any case I've seen you blathering about in here.)

Its in your history books look it up if its so important to you. Again you miss the distinction. On my give a fuck meter it ranks a zero.

For somebody who likes to portray themself as a badass legal mind, you don't appear to have heard of the onus of proof. Put up or shut up.

quote: ORIGINAL: DomImus quote: ORIGINAL: tazzygirl In Florida, 1400 people had the legal right to carry a firearm after being convicted of a felony. Shouldnt that worry legal gun owners? Yes, it should. In particular it should worry the other 766,000 permit holders in Florida. I'm going to take a wild guess and bet that there are more than 1400 criminals carrying hot iron in Florida but that should not distract us from locating and disarming the .0018 % of folks carrying with a permit who shouldn't be. There are problems with the licensing system(s). Address them and correct them. Publish our names if think that will help police the matter. I personally don't feel that my name on that list makes me a target. I'm armed. Let them know. They'll know what to expect. Im going to play devil's advocate for a moment. If you publish names, then arent you telling criminals which citizens DONT own guns?

quote: ORIGINAL: imperatrixx -FR- This is the Second Amendment of the US Constitution: "A well regulated militia being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the People to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed." It actually specifies regulation. And it gives the reason for the right to bear arms as the need for a militia. Now, at the time, they needed that to fight against Native Americans in the West, as well as potential threats by British, Spanish, and French armies against our land...and even to fight slave rebellions. Now...we own the whole country. The "militia" idea makes me think of civilians going to the Mexican border to shoot and patrol. I think that Americans should have the right to keep guns (definitely hunting rifles and shotguns, handguns should be legal but regulated...personally I'd ban most gangsta rappers from owning guns just from their irresponsible gun lyrics) but I don't think that should be based in the Second Amendment because that ties gun ownership to civilian militias and I am not too keen on civilian militias taking the law into their own hands. I wonder if "a well regulated militia" could be compared to something like the National Guard. If so...then wouldn't the modern interpretation be something like "if you want a gun, join the National Guard"? When the Constitution was written most people lived miles from their closest neighbors. There was no "police force", no National Guard. It literally was every man for himself (and his family). Many did not see their neighbors except at special events or church on sundays... if they attended a church... many just had services in their homes. Owning a gun was a matter of life or death when you couldnt get help for hours, or even days.

quote: The "they" I was referring to is those persons who would target me to attempt to steal my firearm if that information was published. Do they have any right to that information? I don't believe so but if it would make the pacifists feel better to print it I have no objections. Maybe it would get the guns out of the hands of those 1400 felons in Florida and make Florida's licensing system that is already 99.9982 % effective in screening out felons even better. Not quite true. A newspaper investigation in south Florida published in 2007 found that 1,400 people given concealed-carry licenses in the first half of 2006 had earlier pleaded guilty or no contest to felonies. Read that again. In the first 6 months of 2006, 1400 people were given licenses. But, a better look into what they actually found... An analysis of state records show the roughly 410,000 Floridians licensed to carry hidden guns included 1,400 who had pleaded guilty or no contest to felonies, 216 with outstanding warrants, 128 named in active domestic violence injunctions and six registered sex offenders, the South Florida Sun-Sentinel reported. "I had no idea," said Baker County Sheriff Joey Dobson, who sits on an advisory panel for the state Division of Licensing, which issues permits for carrying concealed weapons. "I think the system, somewhere down the line, is broken. I guarantee you the ordinary person doesn't know (that) ... and I'd venture to guess that 160 legislators in Florida don't know that, either." Read more: http://www.foxnews.com/story/0%2C2933%2C247940%2C00.html#ixzz1RBmNVxI7 They didnt know? Then why this... The newspaper obtained the names of people on the state's concealed weapons permit list shortly before state lawmakers sealed it from public scrutiny July 1. They all know. There is no other reason to hide the lists.

IMO.

I think not.

No, its a right. One you can lose due to your own actions.

That IS slavery. and the militia was put into place to protect the constitution, and of course defend against the britons. Since americans are vassals again needless to say they lost.
