RachelFaith probably has a feelings based opinion on gun ownership too.
All liberals do.
I could be way off here, but I’m pegging her at around 16 or 17...Old enough to know it all, and young enough to let everyone know about it. :-)
Not that age has to dictate one’s opinions on a particular matter, but it usually does. I know I was a flaming lib at until I turned 18...
RachelFaith, this is just a courtesy ping. You don’t have to respond.
I have very strong feelings based on gun ownership.
First, the right to self defense is God given and inalienable.
Second, the defense of which we speak is not the criminal but the state.
Thirdly, whateversomuch defense is required to keep the state at bey is therefore lawful. And last I checked, we had many nations with battleships and nukes.
Therefore, I fully support the 2nd amendment in its absolutely understood original intent. Which is to say, my great (10x) grandfather owned several ships and was a wealthy merchant. All of his ships were 24 gun or greater frigates. He would go to arms against the French and the Spanish and against pirates to protect his cargo. He had that natural right.
If Bill Gates wishes to have his own navy and nukes, and can afford them, he has that right. Then let us see if China is willing to pirate his software under those terms and conditions.
I am no modern wuss liberal. I am a classic liberal. And far to the right of such modern statists like Rush Limbaugh.
But what that has to do with trained or unsafe animals.... nothing. It is just your continued ignorance and ad hominem attacks for lack of substantive debate skill.
