This was a school assignment to post an opinion on an issue at FreeRepublic and see what the reaction was. Apparently other people have had bad experiences in the past, but since I have neither been banned or seriously insulted I can't say that I have seen much evidence of that here. As far as I'm concerned, you guys are welcome to your opinions and I'm welcome to mine. Since no one shares my opinion, I'm pretty sure the Second Amendment is safe from any changes.
Finally, I would like to make clear that I have nothing against people owning guns. I'm quite sure the vast majority of gun owners are law-abiding citizens who use their firearms responsibly, and as I mentioned in reference to Katrina I think that personal defence is an excellent reason for gun ownership. I personally think any attempt to take over the government will be put down by the military long before any kind of domestic insurgency is neccersary, but then again if you feel differently more power to you. If my post bothered you, don't worry about it. It looks like 80 million guns owners will keep anyone from messing with the Second Amendment for a long time.
Then why didn't you say that right off, jerk?
Typical lazy, sneaky liberal going to a government school. Do the research yourself.
Typical liberal or Dummy troll ( the teacher) who wants to "rewrite" the 2nd amendment and has never been outside of this country (except to a Paris cafe) or been in combat or owned a gun!
I'm in my usual good mood.
So we can verify, please post your teachers phone number.
Posting a contrary opinion and inviting reasoned discourse is generally welcomed here, which is why you haven't had any trouble
Please do report that you were treated decently and encountered strong logic here on FR. (Too bad we didn't confirm your teacher's prejudicial view of our behavior...)
P.S. Why not have your (presumably liberal) professor/teacher have other students post pro-2nd Amendment articles on Democratic Underground and DailyKos...
What school? What kind of class singles out FreeRepublic.com?
