Well, so much for the idiotic belief in Freedom of Speech. I'm being flamed for practicing mine. I guess it's only when you have the same point of view of others that that Freedom is allowed.
Inalienable rights to own a weapon of that power? You truly belief that God would espouse the ownership of such a weapon in the hands of anyone and everyone? Wow. Such arrogance.
So, which side of that equation does that put you on?
Also, Jehova was known for nuking cities, flooding the entire planet, and visiting plagues on entire populations. A .50 cal rifle would be insignificant.
The arrogant one is you.
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.I'm looking for the part that says shall not be infringed "except for weapons that a tyrannical government and the fools who support them deem too powerful." I guess your copy is different from my copy because I just don't see it. In an earlier post to you I wondered if you really wanted to be lumped in with people like Sara Brady the Clintons, Obama, Carolyn McCarthy, Teddy the Fat, Adrian Fenty, the more lunitic fringe of DUers, etc. (slthough I used a general term for them rather than individuals names) but it's obvious from reading your posts that your positions are one and the smae with people like that.
Perhaps you're mistaking freedom of speech with a guaranteed friendly audience. A common trait amongst the liberal and weakminded.
So tell me, in the history of man portable rifles of this caliber (which I doubt you know), how many horrible crimes have they been used in?
Wow, is Congress making any laws that infringe your right to free speech?
No!
But do you get to enjoy a well deserved flaming for your idiotic words and disgust for Constitutional rights?
Asolutely!
So you believe others should not practice their freedom of speech and just agree with you? Sheesh.
If you really think your freedom of speech is at risk on this forum just because others disagree with you, I can understand why you want powerful weapons only in the hands of the government. You don't really understand the issues.
Luke 22:36 - Then said he unto them, But now, he that hath a purse, let him take it, and likewise his scrip: and he that hath no sword, let him sell his garment, and buy one.
And you're showing that you don't seem to grasp the concept of "rights." First off, you DO have the right to express your opinion, as do the rest of us, in as much JimRob will allow it here, since this is HIS forum. But I haven't seen anyone calling for you to be banned, or censoring your posts. You're being flamed. You've expressed you opinions, as is your right. However, your "right" to express an opinion doesn't keep others from expressing their opinions ABOUT your opinions. Hence the flames. Maybe your feelings have been hurt by others' opinions here. But that's all a part of "freedom of speech."
So show me exactly where your "freedom of speech" has been infringed.

“The right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed.”
I see no exceptions, codicils, or qualifications in that about weapon size, caliber, or megaton yields.
In fact there’s no wiggle room in there at all.
What ignorance.
Your belief in Freedom of Speech is outdated and antiquated. This is 2008, not 1776.
Inalienable rights to own a weapon of that power? You truly belief that God would espouse the ownership of such a weapon in the hands of anyone and everyone? Wow. Such arrogance
You're the only ahole here who presumes to speak for God. We are discussing the Bill of Rights, not whether God wants us to have .50 cals.
