"Apparently, Pearson still thinks the Second Amendment to the Constitution (for you liberals, that’s the one that says Congress can’t make laws infringing on your right to keep and bear arms) actually means that Congress can’t make a law infringing on your right to keep and bear arms."

Has this been passed and what does it actually say?

At one time in America, any politician advocating a law such as this would be hauled out by a mob and lynched.

The De-b@lling of America continues apace.

Hey, I lived in Georgia all my life (recent move to NC), and it doesn't have tough gun laws. What's that about?

In fact, I bought my first shotgun there and it was unbelievably painless.

The points enumerated above, 1 through 5, are absolutely true, and the liberals know it. Their purpose is to place law-abiding citizens at the mercy of criminals, in order to create chaos.

If we look at everything liberals do, we see that their intent with every cause they espouse is for this purpose and this purpose only. It is when chaos rules that they have their opportunity to enable the government to take over more of our freedoms. This is why abortion is such a favorite cause among liberals: It is ultimately divisive, and as such, empowers them.

The homosexual lobby grabbed onto the decision by the SCOTUS to strike down Texas' sodomy and have hung on tight for the ride. Liberals recognize a slippery slope as well as anyone and take advantage whenever they can. They are rushing full force to destroy our freedoms, one at a time.

But again, as long as 70% of the voting population sits in their recliners and ignore elections, there's no stopping the liberals.

To quote from Chuck Heston, "...when you pull it out of my cold dead hand."

What amuses me the most about liberals and gun control is how sensitive they are about the first amendment. They always whine about how right-wingers are "trying to take away their free speech rights" (although I don't remember any scheme to do so), while gun control is a blatant attempt to destroy the second amendment.

Why is one amendment more important than the other? Shouldn't we fight for the ENTIRE bill of rights, not just choosing favorites?

He maybe referring to Kennesaw, where the head of household is required to have a gun and carry it. It is the exact opposite of confiscation, and has had the exact opposite outcome - crime in Kennesaw is well below the national averages at all levels.

...or perhaps he ment to say Boston.

Beware of politicians that don't want you to have a gun. They can have a law so what? People will still have guns, they may not be in plain sight but they will be around. I will never be without a gun in my house.

Do you think the politicians understand that the 2nd amendment was written to protect the citizens against this type of legislation.....and more importantly, do the citizens of Illinois realize this?

BTW, as was mentioned earlier, Georgia does not have some of the most restrictive gun laws in the country. It's pretty firearms friendly.

Hey, I didn't know that about Kennesaw. Should've moved there.

Or maybe he did mean Boston or New York. Either one.

You've probably heard this before, but in another country (I think Switzerland, but I'm not sure), the law requires every household to have a gun, and the country has an almost 0% crime rate.

And thank you, glad to be here.
