Gun Control? What A Joke!

[Brother Hesekiel 2,236]

That's true: if we had no guns, people could not shoot other people with a gun.

Unfortunately, like the 14th Amendment -- which many people would like to amend -- the 2nd Amendment -- which also many people would like to amend -- is firmly anchored in the supreme law of the land, and with a large amount of gun owners who like their guns, there is just no way to take away their constitutional right to own guns. But gun ownership can be regulated, and it should.

I would propose a package deal: the commies want to take away our guns, and the Nazis want to end birthright citizenship. Why not making a package deal and amend both Amendments out of their existence? An eye for an eye . . .

So where would you and the rest of the gun nuts be deported to?

Somalia. A true paradise for gun nuts. No regulations, unfettered acess to unlimited firepower. RPGs and all.

The Nazi's along with the Commies were all for gun control and how did that one work out?

I bet there's way more guns here than in Somalia!

If folks in Somalia had half the wealth we have, they'd have more guns. Bank on it!

Guns per 100 people in Somalia 9.1 Total 750,000

Guns per 100 people in USA 88 Total 270,000,000

Folks in Somalia are a bit short on cash. That explains some of the discrepancy. Most people there are saner than the gun nuts here, too. That accounts for a bit of that difference as well, I suspect.

If a Somalian has a choice between feeding his family and shooting at targets he'd probably go with the food.

I'm not so sure about some Americans.

We combine guns and food up in these parts.

They are arms that one can bear. Scalia would see them protected under the second amendment.

it's not a firearm.

[Mr. Big Dog 10,747]

it's not a firearm.

So?

[Ban Hammer 13,677]

So?

so highly unlikely it would ever be a scotus case.

[Mr. Big Dog 10,747]

Why? Does the 2nd amendment talk about firearms or does it talk about arms? Arms = weapons. An RPG is still a weapon, yes?
