really? then why was the civil war fought?


The Civil War (we prefer to call it The Recent Unplesantness) was certainly
not fought over the mention of slavery in the Constitution. The word
"Slavery" did NOT appear in the Constitution until after the Second War of
Independence.

As to slavery itself, that wasn't really the issue that caused the conflict,
only the casus belli to feed the masses.

There are two proofs for this claim: a) Southern cotton amounted to about
60% of the nation's exports (and 75% of the world's supply). Without that
export trade, the United States would be an economic basket case. b) The
Emancipation Proclamation wasn't issued by Lincoln until the third year of
the conflict and even then the proclamation did not apply to slaves in the
north.

Such things as concealed carry on college campuses, open carry,

Excuse me, restoring the right to felons?

Today, in all states but two (Wisconsin and Illinois), plus the
District of Columbia, it is possible for a private citizen to carry
a pistol concealed.


Possible, but not likely in some may-issue states and quite a pain in
the butt in others. 8,000,000 million people in New Jersey and less
than 1,000 CCW permits--what does that tell you?


New Jersey is a "may issue" state. That is, whether to issue a license is
discretionary on the part (usually) of the chief of police in your city of
residence. Further, issuance of a permit seems to be, by practice, limited
to armored car drivers and retired police officers.

In the "shall issue" states there is no discretion. If an applicant meets
the state's statutory requirements (able to stand up, see lightning, and
hear thunder), the issuing authority MUST issue the license. Currently there
are 38 states in the "shall issue" category. There are two (plus D.C.) that
are "no issue," and two that are "no issue" in practice (New Jersey and
Hawaii).

Yeah. There's a saying about military historians: Amateurs study tactics,
professionals study logistics.

Lee was still commanding a force in excess of 30,000 men with certainly
enough firepower to break through Grant's Union lines and continue the
conflict. The problem was he left most of his supplies behind when he
retreated from Richmond. Later, Lee's remaining supply lines were
effectively cut by General Sheridan's cavalry.

Oh, and Lee did not offer nor did Grant receive, Lee's sword.

and he's fighting for the other side then he's an enemy soldier, so
he gets the same treatment any POW is entitled to by treaties the
U.S. has signed.


Absolutely and positively not so. Spies, saboteurs, guerrillas, and the like
are most emphatically NOT soldiers and, if captured on the battlefield, are
NOT entitled to POW status. This has been part of the Rules of Warfare for
millennia and is codified in the various treaties and conventions on the
conduct of war.

But wait, if he's a U.S. citizen who has taken up
arms against the U.S., then he's a traitor, and what do we do with
traitors--we charge them and try them in a court of law. So, which
is it? POW status for foreigners, or court for American citizens?


During WWII literally hundreds of thousands of German and Italian POWs were
confined on U.S. soil and a significant number of them were U.S. citizens
(think dual citizenship). Not a one was tried as a traitor. Further, not a
one ever had access to U.S. civilian courts. (Crimes committed within a POW
camp - theft, murder, etc. - were handled by courts martial.)

Point is, citizenship is irrelevant for POW status, charging as a traitor,
or detention and execution as an unlawful enemy combatant.


In which case they're POWs, and denying them their rights as POWs is
contrary to international law which the U.S. has agreed to uphold. So,
again, which is it?


Why are you having trouble understand that it's not simply one or the other?
There's a completely separate catagory, defined by the Rules of War,
codified in the IV Geneva Convention and the Military Commissions Act of
2006. Those so defined are neither fish nor fowl; they are rodents.

Yes, they will. If you buy three rifles in one week, the BATF will knock on

Well, there's the Vatican and, er, possibly others. The Swiss Guard does,
however, have long, pointy thingies.

And I know for a fact that the gun homicide rate for Rhodesia, Patagonia,
and British Honduras is very close to zero.

I'm still looking for Shanri-La's homicide rate. I'll report when I find it.

The Civil War (we prefer to call it The Recent Unplesantness) was certainly
not fought over the mention of slavery in the Constitution. The word
"Slavery" did NOT appear in the Constitution until after the Second War of
Independence.


it was fought over slavery. the word appears in the constitution of
1787.


As to slavery itself, that wasn't really the issue that caused the conflict,
only the casus belli to feed the masses.


meaningless


There are two proofs for this claim: a) Southern cotton amounted to about
60% of the nation's exports (and 75% of the world's supply). Without that
export trade, the United States would be an economic basket case. b) The
Emancipation Proclamation wasn't issued by Lincoln until the third year of
the conflict and even then the proclamation did not apply to slaves in the
north.


meaningless. the north had generally freed its slaves by the time of
the war. so slavery wasnt needed for healthy economy, even at that
time.

and in the declarations of secession...you HAVE read those,
right?....every state listed SLAVERY as the cause.

oh. you dont read history

The word "repeal" does not appear in the Constitution. The word "repealed"

Is murder rate synonymous with murder by gun rate?


the reference has homicide by guns.

And who is
committing these killings? I imagine if one takes an unflinching look
at who is doing the killing a picture will emerge that the politically
