As I said, you have no idea.
I suspect the 24% number is due to many people not telling. I would not answer any question about gun ownership asked by a pollster.
Neither would anybody in his right mind.
Rand Paul, that is just a stupid thing to say.
If even one of the people in that no-gun zone had been armed, all of those people would not have died.
Do I fear more the occasional nut, or a government that has control over all personal liberty?
It isn’t even a contest. Listen to the Obamas, Hillarys, Boehners, of the world. They are lying scum who would take the lives of slaves as easily as did the Pharaohs.
It may not matter to those young people, or whomever, but it SHOULD.
As surely as it should matter whether companies can make what products they want and consumers cna buy them. Basically your issue so well spoken regarding toilets and curly-fry ligtbulbs.
As surely as it should whether we should be taxed or not, or marked with a SS #.
It all matters, however narrow-minded some voters are or not.
I’d also suggest that the 24% number is RIDICULOUSLY low! For crying out loud, they say 30% of the French own guns ( and the real figure in France is above that, I am sure.)
Paul told the crowd. “But the thing is that a lot of young people, that might not be their primary issue.”
Then it is your duty to educate them. Without the 2nd Amendment their 1st Amendment is meaningless.
I would love to put the second amendment issue to rest once and for all. Unfortunately, there are a whole lot of liberals that won’t let us. so we aren’t getting beyond anything.
Yes, now lets discuss the Third Amendment.
Because I don’t buy into everything a candidate says, I have no idea? So 50 Repulicans that voted against it have no idea either?
Your insults only further convince me that Cruz screwed up. I am greatly disappointed, because I thought he was smart enough not to get cornered. He did this to himself.
Good luck with the primaries, you are going to lose, early, and big.
Regrettably, Sen. Paul is correct, and the Third Amendment will be the next one to go when the fertilizer hits the ventilator.
This is Paul’s politics, he repeats it as he moves left on issues, it’s always for the “young people”.
“Everybody is for the Second Amendment. All 55 candidates running for president are for the Second Amendmenton our side,” Paul told the crowd. “But the thing is that a lot of young people, that might not be their primary issue.”
I think that the Republican Party, in order to get bigger, will have to agree to disagree on social issues, Paul advised. The Republican Party is not going to give up on having quite a few people who do believe in traditional marriage. But the Republican Party also has to find a place for young people and others who dont want to be festooned by those issues.
The thing is about abortionand about a lot of thingsis that I think people get tied up in all these details of, sort of, youre this or this or that, or youre hard and fast (on) one thing or the other, Paul told Elliott. Ive supported both bills with and without (exceptions), you know. In general, I am pro-life.”
If only someone in the church had been allowed a gun, they might still be alive. The government wasn’t their to protect them, nor the police. They should have been allowed and should have taken steps to protect themselves. It is really a shame and very unfortunate that every time some crazy person uses a gun to kill people, everyone around them are defenseless sheep waiting for the slaughter. Arm everyone.
Yep, those young voters Paul is hoping decide to actually register and vote for him in the GOP Primary, aren’t interested in the 2nd Amendment, they’re interested in getting high, getting drunk, getting laid (all for free, naturally) and getting us to pay off their student loans!
Please enlighten us mere pond scum. Why do we need this “living” piece of crap that Obama and Boehner are drooling over that we cannot read, whose details cannot even be written down by our representatives in a sealed secure chamber in the bowels of hell, D.C.? Expound away ... start with how its good for truth, justice and the American way. Please.
If even one of the people in that no-gun zone had been armed, all of those people would not have died.
Which is not Rand Paul's point.
Paul is running for Veep -- positioning himself as the one GOP candidate who can bring the younger demo to the Republican ticket.
Unfortunately, he's attempting to do so by pandering to the demo -- rather than teaching them about the 2nd Amendment, as your point does.
We can do without Senator Paul, I believe.
FYRP! I wouldn’t have voted for you anyway, but especially not now.
See post #29.
From the comments on this thread it doesn’t sound like anybody read what he actually said. He’s saying the other parts of the Bill of Rights matter also, not that we dump the 2A.
FR is rapidly becoming a knee-jerk echo chamber.
