...while they're trying to take away our guns, and turn us into another
socialistic country
in the model of France. The party has principles...but they're some
pretty
damn scary ones.

Correct. I don't own a gun. I was speaking rhetorically.

You don't have a gun, as in "This is my rifle, this is my gun, this
one's for fighting, and this one's for fun?" Wow. That explains a lot.

Oh wait, you mean that you are opposed to "gun control laws" in the
abstract, even though it doesn't apply to you; the same way you're
against legal abortion, even though you will neither adopt an unwanted
child nor ever be faced with pregnancy issues yourself...

You *must* be a left wing whacko trying to discredit the right, Nobby.
Nobody is that devoted to hypocrisy as a principle...

If I wanted to buy a gun, the Constitution affords me that right.

the same way you're
against legal abortion,

The Constitution doesn't grant the right to take another life. I happen to
oppose the death penalty, too. Killing is only acceptable in self-defense.
Of course, you and I will disagree on what's considered self-defense.

child nor ever be faced with pregnancy issues yourself...

You speak so matter-of-factly about issues you know nothing about...

You keep calling yourself "conservative", but have yet to mention one single
"conservative" issue that you believe in.

Actually, the Constitution doesn't address that issue drectly. But it certainly
does not grant the right of one group to impose it's religious beliefs, in the
form of law, on the entire country.

Actually, I posted a list of conservative principles some time ago. Oddly
enough, all the Bush cheerleaders were silent. Shall I post it again?

Abortion has nothing to do with one's religious belief. Abortion and
religion shouldn't be mentioned in the same sentence, IMO. It's a
scientific and legal issue. Science and the law get their basis in
"objectivity". Religion gets its basis in "subjectivity". The debate has
now progressed to exactly the point where it should be: at what point is the
fetus considered "alive"? I say it's when the heart starts beating.

Sure. It'll be worth a chuckle.

Well, there you have it. Your opinion does not have the weight of law,
fortunately.

I'm a Democrat. I believe in gun rights and the death penalty. I also
believe that when a corporation fouls the environment, its principals should
be arrested immediately, same as murders, rapists, etc. WTF am I??? I'm
totally confused!

Why don't you own a gun?

I don't hunt, and I live in a gated neighborhood with no crime. I wouldn't
carry the gun for self-defense, since I'm usually in shorts or a t-shirt,
and it would be a nuisance. I'm not fearful of the government, because the
current administration hasn't tried to take away my right to buy a gun.

There are three scenarios in which I could see myself getting a gun:

1) If I started taking long trips by boat in the Caribbean.
2) If some nimrod started harassing my family
3) If the government tried to take away my *right* to own a gun.

In the first situation, I'd go through the natural legal process and buy
one. In the 2nd and 3rd situations, I'd get one through "other" means. I
never said that I *never* owned a gun. I just don't own one right now.
