You apparently didn't read my complete reply or my post at #637 if this is your considered response. Either that or you need help with reading comprehension or you you are just being difficult.

The right to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed. Do you have a problem understanding that? If a supposed friend of the 2nd signs an unconstitutional ban, he forfeits my vote as does any enemy of the 2nd when he does the same thing. Why should I treat him any better? He is not entitled to my vote. He has to earn it. Allowing him to disregard my rights is not an option.

If neither party wants to respect our rights, let's get it on now. We, the people, are the repository of power. The government employees are just temporary stewards. You seem willing to let them be all powerful and all deciding.

I read this and your prior posts very well. Please stop with the reading comprehention cracks. Personal abuse is not acceptable here.

Here is my issues. I value the 2d ammendment. There are other things that I value more or equally, however.

FOr example, I place a great deal of importance to a committment to a strong national defense. If we leave ourselves open to foreign millitary or terror attack, all the writing in the Constitution won't do us any good.

I also value the 1st ammendment very highly. A few years ago, there was an attempt to force stations running Rush and other stations to put on other, "more balanced" viewpoints. If government had required an anti-Rush, we would all have been in trouble.

I am very strong on anti-crime issues. I want a canaidate who will lock up the crooks and keep them there. No mollycodling, no M'Naighton, just hard jail time in a bad-ass jail.

I also want a President who is strong on REAL equal rights for everyone. Not equal outcomes, not quotas or set-asides, but real equal opportunity.

I want a president who will oppose "Slavery Reperations" in the stronest manner possible.

I want the toxic torts stopped. These rediculous class actions suits are killing commerce. I was recently part of class that received a 85 cent credit the next time I stay in a Starwood hotel because I wasn't informed of their long distance phone charges. (I call on my cell phone) I got 85 cents credit, the lawyers got 2.2 million cash.

I want a President who will work hard to get the welfare loafers off their duffs and to work anr/or school.

I want a President who will work to stop the epidemic of single parents families in the Black communities.

Is the 2d Ammaendment important to me, yes, extremely so. Am I willing to give up everything else to get it? No.

PS, do I accept that the government, in the interest of its citizerns can put reasonable restriction on firearms ownership? Sorry, but yes. I do not want a convicted sex abuser to be able to legally have a gun if he tries to force my daughter into a car with him.

That's is why I would never decide my vote for any office on the results of just one issue, no matter how important that issue is.
