If Gov can make you buy insurance... why not guns?

Health care is not a right. It would only be logical then to ban health insurance all together.

While I'm not against that, I don't think it's government's place to say what we can and can't do with private business. If we're stupid enough to buy into a system of something, we'll get what we pay for.

people have the right to seek healthcare to the extent that opportunity and resources allow. I certainly would not dispute such a right.

Bingo. Nor would anyone dispute other such rights.

I'm baffled by folks who disregard rights clearly spelled out by the constitution yet somehow find justification for the government to not only acknowledge, but to pay for, "other rights" as well. When did it become the government's responsibility to pay for your "other rights?"

I believe the US was instrumental in drafting these.

Are all of those up to the individual to provide or is it the government's job?

I wonder how much longer the RWN's will support ideas like mandatory guns, or keep up the ignorant belief that the 2nd amendment is in place as a check to the federal government once they realize the projected demographics of the coming decades.

Victory, or death.

The gun nuts will try to use their 2nd-amendment-protected weapons to change the demographic trajectory of this country. They will fail, of course.

If by "breed a community of heritage-loving Americans" you're absolutely right. I wish everyone in our country was a Rifleman.

I don't think Slim is going to be doing it. But that is the direction the real freaks are headed.

The real freaks don't understand culling the herd is too late. If you have to cull the herd, you've already failed.
