No, the definition of "arms" ["A weapon, especially a firearm"] is the same.

You are correct in that a "firearm" of today is way different from one in
1785, but so is a bow-and-arrow (compare compound composite bow with a
longbow) or a knife (ceramic vs bone).

In my view, the generational differences don't matter - the concept remains
unchanged.

The Bush administration decided it could listen to your phone calls
and read your e-mails without a court order, or declare a citizen an
enemy combatant and lock him up indefinitely without a trial, did you
make a peep of protest about that? But now you're incensed that the
Dems passed a law requiring you to have health insurance in the way
you already need auto insurance, and you're echoing Sharon Angle/Tea
Party claptrap that if the ballots don't work, then maybe it's time
for bullets. This cracks me up, democracy works only if your side
wins, otherwise sedition suddenly becomes a virtue, three cheers for
Tim McVeigh. What hogwash.


First, it wasn't just Bush.

Governments have been listening in on enemy communications since The Recent
Unplesantness when both Union and Confederate forces tapped their
adversaries telegraph lines.

Even before that, governments were intercepting enemy couriers carrying
hand-written military orders.

If you have a problem with snooping on enemy communications (without a
warrant?), then you would have objected to our breaking the Japanese
'Purple' code or the British building a decoding machine to replicate the
German Enigma device.

Second, enemy combatants do not get trials. The 6th Amendment states: "In
all CRIMINAL prosecutions, the accused shall enjoy the right to a speedy
trial..." Only CRIMINALS get trials, and combatants, either lawful or
unlawful, are not criminals. The 6th Amendment goes on to say "... by an
impartial jury of the State and district wherein the crime shall have been
committed..." So, an enemy combatant captured in Afghanistan would be tried,
according to you, exactly where?

There are a great number of occasions where people get locked up without
trials: Civil contempt, juveniles, carriers of contagion, mental health
patients, illegal immigrants, material witnesses, and so on. Included in
this list are enemy combatants (think POWs).

Bottom line: Only criminals are entitled to a trial and enemy combatants are
NOT criminals. (They don't get indictments, lawyers, witnesses, etc.
either.)

Your analogy is off the mark. Increased CCW has not resulted in
"more disasters".

Check the FBI's data.... I'll put my money on the armed citizen.
They kill more bad guys than the police and they kill fewer "good
guys" by mistake.

The reason being..... they typically have better situational intel,
they are there from start to finish and know the good guys from the
bad guys.
The police arrive on scene and if the shooting has already started
have very time to assess the situation.


Right. The anti-gun crowd often puts forth the rhetorical question: "When
the police arrive, how are they to know who the bad guy is if everybody is
armed?"

The answer to that is easy: "The bad guy is the one on the ground bleeding
out from multiple gunshot wounds."

The Constitution contains a formula for amending it, so if you don't like it

law, and you don't get to just ignore it the way the Bush administration
figured it could.


just because it's still in the constitution doesnt mean it's not

It doesn't cause anything. We did not give government the ability to

government's privledge to be granted.


which is exactly why i said the 2nd has to be repealed

We retain the right to have the means to protect ourselves with firearms

and what about the 11,000 dead each year. how's that working out for

All the bans or laws, over history have not stopped violence.

I never have gotten a real good fix on this. My understanding is that
taps were on overseas telephones. Since there is no law or
constitutional concern about what is done outside the US, this is a
non-issue. According to a long line of court decisions, as long as a tap
on a phone is not illegal, then anybody calling that phone (even if that
phone is in the US) is fair game.

about that? But now you're incensed that the Dems passed a law requiring
you to have health insurance in the way you already need auto insurance,


Not hardly. You only need car insurance if you want a car. You have
to buy health insurance if you want to live in the US. BIG difference.


you have to have kids or pay a tax...just like the health insurance

I know two civilians who used firearms to defend themselves against violent
criminals, in one case without firing a shot, and in one case the person
holding the gun was female and a direct ancestor of mine. Depending on
whether you believe the DOJ or the NRA, somewhere between 1.5 and 2 million
times a year someone in America uses a firearm defensively. Who are you to
tell those people they have no right to self-defense?

While it's not exactly clear to me why anyone actually *needs*

lots of people who are really angry at government or at specific
legislators, most of them don't go on a killing rampage.

The problem is a mentally unstable person who committed a violent act.
What do you propose be "done" about it? A determined attacker could
probably have done a similar amount of damage with a hunting knife.
Look how many people John Hinckley took down with a dinky .22 and in
the presence of heavily armed, highly trained bodyguards who were
there specifically to deter such an act.


doesnt do much for the argument that if everyone was armed this

LMAFAO: How does Congress require Gays and Lesbians to have children?
Is this MANDATORY?


the same why you have to have health insurance.


I pray you never own a gun or a pointy stick. You sound dangerous
enough to harm a spotted owl.

Knock Knock, anybody in there?

Enlighten us on just how a Constitutional Amendment is "repealed"?

Does Congress just conduct a "ruling"?

Skipped out of that section in HS Civics class, huh? You do another
amendment. Only one, Prohibition, has been repealed outright.

Spoken like a true fire breathing liberal. How old are you?

spoken like a knee jerk reactionary

Our Nevada State Constitution also has a Second Amendment. I'm not
sure about other states.

zzzzzzzzzzzz


I see you snipped out the references to SCOTUS I made. Just to remind
you they were the Heller (2008) and McDonald (2010) cases


which has what to do with NV?


Easy. The 2nd Amendment in the Nevada Constitution is "incorporated",
via the McDonald 2010 ruling - get my drift.


Can't stand it can you? If the law don't fit into you little world,
just ignore it right? Have some bean sprouts!


nah. i just got bored with all the NV crap.


You get bored easy -- I mentioned it just once. And you snipped my
thread too!

and the SCOTUS? the same guys that gave us the citizen's united
decision?

those the guys you're talking about?


Sure the "Law of the Land"! I can't make the laws, but can respect
them even if I disagree with them.

Question avoidance?

I don't have to have anything from your "ruling" (your words)
Congress. I've paid my own health insurance for myself and family for
over 30 years.

If I did have a left wing I would chew it off and use my health
insurance.

unnecessary. if it were necessary, then the decision regarding
chicago would have gone the other way.

yeah gun fanatics bore me. it's such a cliche, it's a power trip and
it'd be funny if the results weren't so deadly.

and so do i. it just means we get ****ed every time we elect
conservatives
