Default How many more?

My argument is not about fear. I am not saying that I need a gun but
rather I need my rights to not be infringed, gun ownership being one
of them. If you want to talk about fear how about the fear of guns


There is nothing in the Constitution that gives you that "right."


http://www.law.cornell.edu/constitut...ml#amendmentii
Amendment II

A well regulated militia, being necessary to the security of a free
state, the right of the people to keep and bear arms, shall not be
infringed.

one more time to be dramatic: the right of the people to keep and
bear arms, shall not be infringed.

Seems pretty clear to me.

feel they need to regulate a gun instead of being concerned for the
people killed. Gun control is in response to people being afraid of
other citizens owning guns. Thats a huge irrational fear if you ask
me. People do break into homes, murder and rape others. Some of
these may be prevented by private gun ownership but none of them will
be stopped by gun control laws. You are so afraid of people owning
guns that you want to take away their ability to protect themselves
and thier right to own something that isn't hurting anyone.


Repeating a lie doesn't make it a truth. Please show me where I
support banning guns.



I didn't say that at all. I didn't mention you or banning guns at
all. Can you read?


You are blinded by your fear and willing to give up everything in that
condition because of it.


You're the fearful one... unwilling to look at the facts.


What facts? You have stated none but only your opinions. You have
shown no imperical evidence that stricter gun control laws will
prevent any crime only what you, a non-expert, think.
