The only disagreement that I might have with you would be in your zero tolerance of any limitation on these rights. Assuming that we're talking about hunting, does that mean that you don't think the government should be able to (for instance) impose hunting seasons? That is, after all, a government-imposed limitation.
“LOL! I saw a nice Winchester O/U standing near a freeway on ramp yesterday with a sign saying, “Will hunt for warm place to sleep.”
Funny, I saw something close to this recently.A Winchester 101 in a store for about 500 bucks. It didn’t look in bad shape, either. Too bad my finances are hosed right now, or I’d be considering it a lot more seriously.
Where’s the Bjärf Alert?
Logically yes. Doesn’t seem to be working that way in the UK at this instance though. As I said, could be several reasons for that.
LOL very good...
Are you a member of the NRA?
You can never have too many.
***there are surely some common sense reasons for disarming certain people. ***
Already taken care of by the Fifth Amendment. Anything else is an infringement.
Please elucidate, Im not too familiar with that.
If a nation has firearms running around on the streets unwanted and unloved, that nation has too many firearms. Unless and until we reach that point we don’t have too many as a society. (and I don’t think we ever will, there are too many people like me who are always willing to give a good home to an orphan gun)
An individual can have too many guns. Houses do have limited volume and structural capacity. (If you cannot fit another gun in your house or your floor joist have passed the breaking point, you have too many guns.)
No person shall be held to answer for a capital, or otherwise infamous crime, unless he or she is on presentment or indictment of a Grand Jury, except in cases arising in the land or naval forces, or in the Militia, when in actual service in time of War or public danger; nor shall any person be subject for the same offense to be twice put in jeopardy of life or limb; nor shall be compelled in any criminal case to be a witness against himself, nor be deprived of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor shall private property be taken for public use, without just compensation.
I looked it up, but I’m sorry, I don’t follow.
Not true, there are always larger houses.
***nor be deprived of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law;***
Special laws are not needed. The above part of the 5th Amendment takes care of criminals of most stripes.
It might be interesting to watch if Finland’s answer to the NRA can stop this.
“What is most important for us? Protection of privacy? Protection of property? Freedom to pursue a hobby? Or perhaps the freedom to live in a country where there is no need to fear getting shot at school.”
Next time the Red Army comes across the border, don’t run crying to me.
If you have to ask.....
