The Gun Control Lobby, Thinking Small (Grieving loss of brother alert)

As long as the murderer abortion doctor doesn't use the evil gun, than I guess they feel its okay.

That would be very interesting. What if an abortion doctor found a way to kill the babies with a gun, not harming the mother, instead of crushing the babie's skull, or some other "pleasant," liberal approved, method? Of if the doctor figures out a way to kill the baby by smoking. Many liberals heads would explode not knowing what to think: Abortion = good. Gun = bad. Abortion = Good. Smoking = Bad. EEEEeeeekkkKKKKK!!!!!!

Sorry , but your wrong here. The Constitution doesn't give you jack"

Ok if it was not in the Constitution then any law passed to deny you the ability to purchase and keep and bear arms would be legal and as such you and I would have NO RIGHT period. I really like it when the people say the Constitution does not give rights. It is the Supreme Law and if it were not for the RIGHTS that it states belong to the people, and says the government may not trample on them, we the people would have NO RIGHTS. So if it does not give me jack then there is no reason to have judges that support and defend the Constitution we could be like other countries and have NO freedoms except those the ruling class gives out and then takes away the next day. I take you never read the preamble?

"...and secure the blessings of liberty..."

I'm not tyring to get into an argument with you, but you are wrong. Everyone on the face of this planet is born with the same rights as given to us by Yahuweh our elohim. In this Country our forfathers fought over those rights and established the Constution for the United States to limit governmental powers.

I believe it was Jame Madison although I'm not sure (I have it somewhere in my files) that said there was no need for a bill of rights because 1). The people know what their rights are, and 2). Once those rights are put to paper the government will attempt to regulate those rights. That is exactly what is happening today.

"The right of a citizen to bear arms, in lawful defense of himself or the State, is absolute. He does not derive it from the State government. It is one of the "high powers" delegated directly to the citizen, and `is excepted out of the general powers of government.' A law cannot be passed to infringe upon or impair it, because it is above the law, and independent of the lawmaking power."

[Cockrum v. State, 24 Tex. 394, at 401-402 (1859)]

(As one who has taken the pledge to support and defend the Constitution, I will not surrender my right to bear arms to enemies domestic or foreign.)

Brother, I feel safer having you in the same country as I. One of the few regrets I have is not to have served my adoptive country in the military. I try to make it up in other ways. I wish to have earned the right to say: Semper Fi.

"So it was the GUN, not the future mother-in-law, that killed her brother? Here's a little experiment even SHE can do: Take a loaded GUN, place it on a table in the middle of a room, fill the room with 100 people. The GUN is to be left alone and untouched. Wait a few hours to see how many people the GUN kills.... (My bet would be....0)"

On the other hand, put an axe in the hands of a homocidal psychopath and fill the room with a 100 people on a bad day. Wait a few hours to see how many people the axe-wielding psychopath kills. My bet would be lots. I demand axe control immediately! /sarcasm
