They always seem to forget that first part of the amendment when they argue about their "Constitutional Rights."
It has the word REGULATED right there in the beginning, for gawd's sake.
REGULATE--
: to set or adjust the amount, degree, or rate of (something)
: to bring (something) under the control of authority
: to make rules or laws that control (something)
Gun nuts argue the Constitution like "Christians" argue the Bible. Picking and choosing the stuff they believe in, but totally ignoring the rest.
Another example would be the case where an individual rants about his second amendment rights, but advocates "kicking in doors of these Mosques"--which would be a blatant violation of first amendment rights to freedom of religion.
I understand, however, that irony is a tough concept for many folk to wrap their minds around. Sorry if I confused you.
You could ban firearms today, and folks would still kill.
Be it bombs, bricks, dicks spreading aid's, whatever method or tool the crook decides is easy to use.
So laws won't help the crisis we are in.
What will help is to take the political out of correct and just do what needs to be done to protect the American people.
If the words that the radical muslim terrorist read and warp and the killing that has already taken place is not probable cause to kick down doors of shelters for future terrorist then what is?

A gun is a simple tool,like a hammer or a screwdriver. Both of those can kill. Are we going to ban those if a terrorist fills a bomb with them?
Are we going to ban rocks over the size of a marble being they can be used in sling shots?
Get real, deal with the criminal that missuses the tools. not the tools themselves.
First, I'm not talking about banning guns, I am talking about REGULATING them (The types of guns available for domestic use, the registration of hand guns, the issuing of permits to own and carry them, who is mentally sound enough to own one, etc.)
Explain to me how an assault rifle is necessary, or practical, for home protection. Are you expecting to be attacked in your kitchen by an army? (If so, you are probably one of those individuals who fall into "not mentally sound enough to own a gun" category.
Second, the "people are going to kill each other even without guns" argument is a foolish one used to distract from the actual point. With the exception of explosives, no other weapon can claim as many casualties in such a short period of time. Or from a similar distance. A lunatic rampaging through a nightclub swinging a screwdriver is not going to create anywhere near the same body count as a machine gun would before he is taken down.
Third, the "anti-political correctness" nonsense is just a smoke-screen to further cloud the issue. It is a fact that the vast majority of Muslims are not terrorists (and not all Jews are rich, not all Irish are drunks, not all Italians are mobsters, not all gays are ped0philes, not all black people are on welfare). That's not being PC, it's facing the truth--plain and simple.
Fourth, the "they shelter future terrorists" argument is idiotic. We can't target and harass a group of people because a very small number of them "might" commit a criminal act. By that same argument, anyone who owns an assault rifle should be treated as a potential threat and shot before they can go on a rampage. We can't predict the future behavior of other people, and it is un-American to assume that acting against others because they could possibly, at some point in the distant future, do something wrong is a reasonable position.
Finally, dealing with the "criminal that missuses the tools" is a REACTIVE response. It means that you have to wait for people to die before action can be taken. Regulation of fire arms is PROACTIVE. It is an attempt to prevent or, at the very least, decrease, the number of senseless deaths before they occur.
Nothing is ever going to stop people from doing harm to each other. Your "it's going to happen anyway, so let's just sit back and wait to clean up the mess" approach to the problem certainly isn't the answer.

By the way, since this is a sex site, how long do you masturbate. THIS QUESTION IS FOR ANYONE.
Background checks--including criminal records and medical history--should be mandatory before a person can own a gun of any kind.
--------------------------------------- added after 29 seconds
And, I masturbate until I am done.
I don't fully understand "why" I do it, but I get kinda hinky when it comes to medical records. I figure our government knows so much about us based on our social security number so it grinds my ass when a doctor wants us to complete paperwork and supply them with our social security number. It kinda worked out when healthcare companies began using de-identified numbers on their member's cards. I figured what the hell and started modifying the last three numbers on any form when asked what my social is. Please don't turn me in, I don't want to be working on the chain gang for lying.....
Well, I have a very finely tuned sense of cray-craydar.
When I am around crazy, my brain starts to twitch.
It's like my "superpower".
When they get out some choose to buy a legal version because they can operate that platform in complete darkness with more efficiency, and confidence than you could use a knife and fork with the lights on.
Then they teach others to shoot with it then most immediately fall in love with that platform. I have never missed on the range at 500 yards with open sights. It's a great platform.
However, I am surgical with a 12 guage, and just as good with my .454 casull. Then again I have been shooting, and hunting ever since I could walk. Not to mention the military service and all of my range time.

Not to mention with a little training one could do a whole lot more damage with a shotgun or even a revolver. If all guns are banned or extremely regulated the nut jobs will find alternative means like jacking a hydrogen or propane truck. Look at Oklahoma City. You can't fix nuts...
Man is capable of complex thought and therfore you would think that they would realize that indifference can be overcome without ****.
A little girl gets shot and the whole country hears about it. A mother and her 4 kids get killed by a drunk driver and it's only local news. If they keep reporting the mass shooting crap and literally talking about it nationally for more than a week, these stinking losers are going to try for their sadistic week of fame. They stopped reporting and showing car chases out here, guess what doesn't happen much out here anymore?
People have been dying from CANCER since the beginning of man. Therefore, it's totally ridiculous to waste time, money, and energy on finding a cure.
Perhaps the reason why you THINK that car chases aren't happening is because no one is talking about them.
There hasn't been anything on the news lately about malaria...so I guess that disease has been wiped-out for good.
All of the things you mention--cars, knives, explosives, Chinese guys, alcohol--exist for some other purpose and are being misused to cause death.
A GUN, on the other hand, ONLY exists as a tool used for killing. It's why they were invented...to KILL. The sole reason that that particular 'tool' was created is to make killing easier. That's it's only function. (And please don't bring up target shooting and collecting. The folks that created guns didn't say "Golly, I am bored. Maybe I should invent a device that would allow me to fire a deadly projectile at an inanimate object for the purposes of entertainment".)
If you have to pass a qualification test in order to drive, you should have to pass the same sort of test in order to own a firearm.
Then watch the crime rate drop dramatically.
I don't care how you paint the picture. I don't believe in punishing everyone for the actions
of a few, less than 1% of the population of 318,900,000. 30,000 gun deaths works out to 0.0000940734 percent of the population. (yes it's sad and I truly feel for the families) Now, even less of that percentage is ass-hats that committed murder with a firearm(multiple victims for a percentage of shooters). The judicial system needs to stiffen sentences, and stop sending criminals to summer camp. Crime would drop significantly, but you would never stop it. Unless you completely due away with rights, Barcode everyone, and installed microchips in their brains it will never happen. It's sad, a completely horrible tasting shit sandwich, but it is a harsh reality of human nature. Humans kill each other over religion, and shoes. Old people have been murdered for Pocket change and social security checks. You can't fix stupid. You can only prepare and say, "It will not happen to me."
But anyhow.
Some folks seem to forget once you give the government a inch they will take a mile.
This gun this year banned,next year it will be another until all gone. Read about Agenda 21. Part of it is to totally disarm America.
Also read in history that the Japanese did not invade mainland US because they expected behind every blade of grass there was a American with a gun.
If the liberals have it there way, a small group of dope dealers could take over the whole damn country in 3 days.
And someone ask, "do you expect to be attacked by a army in your kitchen?"
Well no,BUT here is the thing. When a crook decides to commit a crime, he knows what he is going to do,has what he feels he needs to do it . As a person in my kitchen cooking grits, I have no idea what the crook has planned. I am just standing there with a pot of hot water and the door crashes down. Now, I can have a single shot 22 rifle and hope for the best against the crooks gun with 9 bullets or more. Or I can have a Ak handy to grab and punch his ass full of holes and perhaps save my own life.
We can not expect to prepare for every incident, but having a gun with a couple 30 round clips does help to level the playing field for the innocent man minding his own business.
Again, it is miss use of the tool not the tool it's self.
On military bases weapons are secure in an armory and ammo is stored miles away in bunkers. Any small trained **** can overrun a base.
Our national Guard and reserves are so well regulated they couldn't stop a small attacking for-ce either. For starters about half of a unit takes about 4 to 5 hours for every one to report after being called. Next, and most importantly, their ammo stores are located in bunkers on military installations hundreds of miles away.
The guard and reserves are in fact smoke and mirrors. They are not even close to being able to stop an attacking for-ce. Unless guys running around with empty magazines inserted into their rifles yelling, "bang, bang" scares anyone.
"We The people" (armed citizens) keep our government from oppressing us as well as detour invasions.
The P-o-l-i-ce is only trained to contain and detain. Other than swat receiving some training, most have no real tactical knowledge.
SO, my question is now that you have knowledge on the competency of what gun grabbers consider a militia, what exactly is left to regulate?
FYI. Cars have killed more people in the United States than the combined total of every casualty from combat we have sustained since the revolutionary war TIMES TWO. Regulate drivers first. However, that would never happen because government does not care about you,they only desire your dollars...

Oh and don't forget about "pissing at urinals" that one has been around for 5 years.
That thread clearly separates SYD from SYC members. I wonder if the ladies would agree, we sit or squat while we tinkle rather than stand while having a raging piss!
For someone who insists that I keep my "personal opinions" out of my posts, you sure seem to include a lot of "personal opinions" in your own.
What makes you so special?
Folk like you seem to have a great deal of trouble with the whole "their rights are just as important as mine" concept.
As to your "At the time the Constitution and Bill of rights were written the term regulated meant in good working order" nonsense, if you want to get into a discussion about LANGUAGE and its USAGE, I'm ready to do so whenever you are. (I'll even toss in some free instruction on how to use a comma...just because I like to be helpful that way.)

And, for what it's worth, the term "regulated" meant exactly the same thing back then as it does now.
