Congratulations on winning the debate with mrsmith! I can't help wondering if I'm the other one? These gun grabbers don't hold up real well against rational arguments. They like to pick and choose quotes from "dead white guys" to suit their purpose. There was at least as much difference of opinion in those days, as there is now. Seems they lack the critical thinking skills, to look at the whole picture, as they read the law.

The Second Amendment is still the law of the land, "Laws of any state to the Contrary notwithstanding"!

Agreed. I would have felt better about the whole thing if either one of two things had happened.

1. Swung him over to our view. That a Right is a Right and NO ONE shall take it from you without you committing a crime first. That our government was set up to PROTECT those Rights, not to parcel out who gets to step all over them.

2. At least gotten him to admit he was a gun grabber and was playing an agenda instead of an actual belief.

Changing your mind is not a bad thing. New data and the correct calculus to come to certain conclusion is one thing. Willfully twisting clear intent and meanings on something so fundamental to our Republic is just plain EVIL.

Ah, I see why you never replied- and appreciate it.

One fervent idiot was enough.
