Anyone who thinks the Bill of Rights is either "out of date," "hokey" or "needs revising" - all of which I've heard from well-meaning but tragically ignorant and complacent Americans - should try living in a country which doesn't have one. I have been there and done that, and I don't want to go through it ever again -especially not in my own native nation. So I am dedicated to preventing today's government nanny from turning, as so often has occurred in history, into tomorrow's government despot.

Well said. Thanks for the flags.

Don't be depressed, we will not allow it to happen here. But it will take some work and dedication on our part.

Time for America to do away with ALL laws that violate the 2nd amendment.

Text of the Second Amendment
"A well regulated Militia
being necessary to the security of a free State,
the right of the people to keep and bear Arms shall not be infringed."

Anyone who actually reads AND understands the 2nd Amendment
will see that there is no constitutional authority for any type of gun registration
and *there is no need for anyone to have to apply for a license to carry a gun.
*NOTE Vermont is the only state that understands this!
Any political party, politician, judge (etc), organization or individual who trys to convince you that:
1) you must register a firearm
2) you must pass a background check
3) you must wait (x) amount of days before you can get your firearm
4) you need to have a license to carry a gun
is either uneducated about OUR rights as citizens
OR is actively working to undermine OUR country.

How Did the Founders Understand the Second Amendment?

How the Brady Bill Passed (and subsequently - "Instant Check")
When the Brady Bill was passed into law on November 24, 1993,
the Senate voted on the Conference Report
and passed the Brady Bill by UNANIMOUS CONSENT.

NOT ONE SENATOR FROM EITHER PARTY VOTED AGAINST THIS

Thanks for the flag. Haven't heard the drooling lobotomite Colostomy Powell talk too much about this situation in his birthplace. Cannot fathom the mindset of the young lady's father - turning in his girly pistol[Luger]when he should have been stocking up on Winchester 1300's and lots of lead pumpkins[deer slugs]. Time to road test some low yield neutron bombs, cleanse the place and start over. Unbelievable!!!!

If everyone had a gun and knew how to use it, we would all be safer - get yourself an "ally sweeper" today - no waiting needed.

Driving an automobile, riding a wagon or walking is not a privilege! These are means of travel. Driving a vehicle for profit is a privilege.

Jamaica - an Island paradise turned into a shthole

Not the topic of too many romantic songs these days

I really liked post #1. Jamaica is a country I would not care to visit. Sounds like a very unstable country politically and lawfully.

Request you take me off YOUR mailing list. That is to say, when you wish to make a request to an individual, make your request to that individual, not to the universe.

Diane Feinstein spoke today, insisting we need gun control so the terrorists won't shoot us. She ignores the fact that if we didn't let them flood into the country legally and illegally, they wouldn't be here to attack us! She also conveniently neglects to mention that the Senators have the anthrax vaccines, the smallpox shots, the underground shelters stocked like luxury hotels, emergency medical services and the secret service and national guard to protect them. I guess us common folk are just expected to be killed so that the world population will get down to a size her friends at the UN feels comfortable with.

Besides that.. Hello.., Diane?!...they didn't use guns on the world trade center. What does she think gun control would've done to stop them from hijacking a plane with a boxcutter??

Depressing indeed.

What does E.S.A. stand for?
