Perhaps. But, the point is that I get to fight to the death defending my
rights, and I get to have the arms to make a good try at it. The worst the
citizenry, or a tyrant can do to me is kill me.

I keep pointing that out and you keep ignoring it.

And I keep pointing out that the just power of the "willothepeeple" does not
extend to the infringement of basic constitutional rights. Certainly any
large group CAN use force to disarm another group, to wit: Hutus and Tutsis
in Rawanda. But the way to prevent such things from happening is to give the
minority groups the power to resist such attempts by force. The worst sorts
of genocides and mass killings only take place where the oppressed minority
has been disarmed.


Every citizen in the US is as "fully free" as any other.

You guys couldn't pass the ERA even though equivalent rights
exist in other countries' constitutions.

The ERA is unnecessary because women are exactly as free as men are in the
US. Federal and state law ensures this, and EVERY state has on its books
laws which make gender-based discrimination illegal. Thus, a change to the
Constitution is redundant and unnecessary. We prefer not to tinker with our
Constitution except when it's absolutely necessary.

You are restricting
gay rights in most states and even your president was asking
for an amendment to gaurantee the restriction of such rights.

Which "gay rights" would you be referring to? Gays have exactly the same
rights as any other individual citizen under the Constitution.

You are still living in a fantasy world.

You still have no idea what you're talking about.


We can guarantee that. That's what the 2nd Amendment is all about.

Unless those guns are used to reduce freedom.

But they don't, they increase it.


You should get your head out of your ass, there's a real world
out here.

And in the real world, people are responsible for their own safety and
defense. Unlike you simpering twits in Canada, who think that the police are
your protectors. When's the last time a cop was around when some girl was
being raped?
