Then look up knives. And WTF does the original purpose of something have
to do with its ability to kill. Aren't the lives takes the reason
everyone wants to band guns?


Knives have a considerable amount of use other than killing people. As
do your hammers and many other objects that have been used to kill
people.

Guns are pretty much a single use item.


So what? How is that relevant? It's not.


When the 1st Amendment was written all we have was a printing press and
it took a month for new to get across the country. We now have the
internet and instant press across the world. Should we limit the 1st
Amendment because of that.


I didn't mention other amendments. You keep trying to inject other
variables into this discussion.

It's an inalienable right, as understood by the authors of the
constitution. The only one who gave it to us was our creator.


Your creator? You mean your father? Surely, you can't be talking about
God? Did God give you something? Wow, you're a lucky guy.


I'm discussing the rights granted in the US Constitution. The authors
believe our rights were granted by God, not by man, therefor they
shouldn't be taken away by man.


A man or men gave it to you. Men are not perfect and times are
different now than 300 years ago.


Which is exactly why I brought up the 2nd Amendment. Time are different
now. BTW, I don't believe times are different. Men have been trying to
kill other men for millennia.


But why am I arguing with a Canadian?


Oh well, I guess that's a good a reason as any to end this discussion.
But, since God gave you the 2nd Amendment, perhaps he can also give
you a sense of humour?
