Superb proposition. Seal the boarders. Your proposition is moronic..... $10 says your an immigrant. This country was built on the backbone of immigrant labor. Open borders has been our policy for centuries. Voluntary citizens have, statistically, proven themselves more productive and law-abiding than their natural-born counterparts.

And as for allowing any idiot to carry a gun on a plane.... Im all for personal gun rights, but dont be ridiculous. Do you have any idea what happens if you fire off a weapon on board a pressurized aircraft?

You pierce the cabin. Ever shotgun a beer?

"Any idiot to carry a gun on an airplane"-- were you blushing when you wrote that? Same tactic used by Sarah Brady et al.

Also suggest you read maritime law between 1850-1913 to find a legal definition for "contraband" and the rules of "neutrality" and "blockade."

So anyone who supports closing the borders or a classical defense of the Second Amendment is beneath you to debate with? I suspect you are more a Conservative in the mold of an English Tory/Kipling Imperial Conservative/Neo-Con than you are American Conservative. So be it, I reckon we pull the lever for the same R's, but Center-Right rightousness has let the barbarians into the city and reduced political debate to troop movements in the Middle East rather than reducing the size of government, lowering taxes and increasing personal liberty.
