It has to do with principles and any statistics either way should be ignored. Your constitution does not give you permission to keep a gun for self defence. It is very specific - your permission to bear arms is for the purpose of maintaining an armed militia. Any other use of a gun is unconstitutional. d Amendments cannot be interpreted as a restriction on people - that is reserved for ordinary law. **Really? Please explain, in as much detail as you feel necessary, the 18th Amendment. It authorized government to prevent the manufacture, sale or transportation of alcohol. It did not stop anyone from having or consuming whatever they had. I fail to see where people were restricted. **People who manufactured, transported or sold alcoholic products were prosecuted. Many legitemate businesses were shut down by the government. You may also care to explain the 16th Changed the manner in which taxes were collected. Nothing more. I fail to see where people were restricted. **You don't see taxation as a restriction? and 13th Amendments too. Authorized the government to prohibit slavery and involuntary servitude except for crime. I fail to see where people were restricted. **People were restricted from the previously legal practice of keeping slaves. A practice used by Thomas Jefferson, I might add. It would seem that those Amendments do (or did) place restrictions on people. Then feel free to point out the restrictions you feel were implaced. **Done. -- Trevor Wilson www.rageaudio.com.au -- Posted via a free Usenet account from http://www.teranews.com |

Far fewer. People will generally scatter if they see a vehicle cruising towards them, and once you've got two or three bodies jammed under the front that will impede progress. Dumbass. There's probably a cultural perception bias re vehicles. In the US we have big cars and pick-up trucks. Even our "mid-sized" vehicles are larger than what's a common vehicle in Europe. In Europe most people drive smaller economy cars. Someone is not going to go very far into a crowd driving a Mini, Ford Festiva, Citroën, or VW Golf--but use a Ford F150 or Dodge Ram 1500 and the crowd is going to be a lot more squishy. What's the squishyness index rating for a Range Rover, BMW X5 or Hummer, cos we have loads of those here. Bloody annoying they are too. Anyway he said pickup, so that's what I took it as, an I reckon once you've got a corpse or two wrapped around the front axle... well it's not going to be Carmageddon.. Hmmm.... I'm not a mathematician to calculate the crunch factor v squishyness. A BMW X5 is a "mid sized" SUV with low ground clearance. Most range rovers are also "mid-sized" but if you've ever been off-roading one that's 4X4 then you should know what kind of terrain they can traverse--a body sized object once knocked down is no problem. The Hummer on the other hand is a very large vehicle and should do quite well at the crunch X squish factor. I also agree that Humvees are bloody annoying. Not to mention just plain ugly I've also started seeing a smaller look-alike Just as ugly but in a smaller package |

You ARE a nutcase. If your organization promotes something, and you are the most influential person in the legislative branch from that organization as well as holding the highest order, and you agree with what the organization is promoting and you help get said something passed into law, are you claiming that your fingerprints aren't all over it? He didn't have to sponsor the legislation, especially since it was the Knights of Columbus supporting HIM throughout those years. You really *are* naive, aren't you? But you can't SUPPORT YOUR CLAIM WITH EVIDENCE (as usual) Are you claiming that 1) McCarthy was the ONLY Knight of Columbus in either house at the time 2) That he WAS the ONLY influential member in BOTH houses 3) That he DROVE the effort to pass the legislation in question In either case, if your claim was true, you would be able to find supporting data Try the Congressional record Until you can support your claim, in what way are you different from the idiots who claim that the WTC was blown with explosives Frankly, I can't tell the difference PROVE your claim asshat |

He shot some in the hallway, he shot some through doors and he shot people who were on the floor under their desks. of course, if you've got something, I'd be interested in seeing it. Do you even understand what is written ? Start with the meaning of the word "apparently" Unlike you, I'm smart enough to couch what I write in doubt when I'm NOT sure of my data And when I do that, it's usually because I doubt my memory And unlike you, not inventing stuff from scratch. From the NY Times http://www.nytimes.com/2007/04/16/us...147a&ei =5070 "Witnesses described scenes of mass chaos and unimaginable horror as some students were lined up against a wall and shot. ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ ^^^^^ Others jumped out of windows to escape, or crouched on floors to take cover. " From http://www.dailymail.co.uk/pages/liv...id=181 1&ct=5 "Terrified students lined up against the wall of their classroom and shot, execution-style. " ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ So when are YOU going to PRODUCE evidence that McCarthy was EVEN REMOTELY involved in the passing of the "under God" addition to the Pledge of Allegiance I back up what I write You just hurl insutls to cover you inability to do the same |

Often enough to justify disarming the law-abiding and make them helpless against the criminal MINORITY of the population ? Don't think so It's just an ignorant strawman argument Of course it is possible to acquire firearms illegally in any country of the world, but that simply isn't the point under discussion. Sure it was, since the MAJOR issue with gun-control is that it only serves to make the law-abiding defenseless while doing NOTHING to stop access to the criminal or the crazy |

I'm the one who goes out without fear, because I live in a civilized country where I don't need to fear. I'm not the one who thinks he needs a gun to protect him from attack. Look at yourself if you want to see fear. You truly are clueless. 1) Caution and fear are NOT the same thing 2) As I pointed out elsewhere, your country is far less "civilised' than you imagine Hell, London is eight times more dangerous than New York City 3) To me a gun is nothing but INSURANCE No different from a fire extinguisher, a flashligh, a spare tire, a winter emergency kit. I have it, not because I'm particularly afraid I have it JUST IN CASE I realize that this may be a concept too difficult for you to comprehend But even though I've practised different forms of Martial arts over the years, I have no desire to stand up toe-to-toe against some 20-year-old hopped-up idiot who wants to harm me. to prove he's a tough guy. Also, after a lot of different very physical activities, my body is getting a bit worn out So I have just another tool, just like the flashlight, the fire extinguisher, the spare tire, the winter emergency kit But this one serves to increase my chances IF EVER, I get caught in the middle of some **** hitting the fan And I've been in some REAL dangerous places and situations during my youth. There is very little chance, that I will anytime soon find myself in such a situation again But like a good boy scout, I'm cautious and prepared So I repeat for the idiot boy Caution and fear are NOT the same thing |

People will generally scatter if they see a vehicle cruising towards them, and once you've got two or three bodies jammed under the front that will impede progress. Dumbass. You never heard of wheels have you ? They're those circular thingies on which pickups roll They're designed to ROLL over obstacles, EVEN if one or two, possibly3, maybe even all 4 of them are obstructed. By the way, how many people did that guy in California run down before being caught and stopped by the police, upon which he declared that he was a terrorist It was 14 http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/articl.../30/HITRUN.TMP He also did it one by one And just like Cho, kept moving around to find fresh targets All that scattering didn't do much good to his victims And I have a personal memory of someone killing something like 11 people at a bus stop, over 20 years ago Didn't take more than a minute for the carnage to take place It was an older person who didn't put his car into park, and then leaned over to open the door for the grrocery clerk. He lost control of the car which plowed into a bunch of people lined up at a bust stop. In a panic, he hit the gas instead of the brake The victims had nowhere to go except under or over the car. They were boxed in by a building right next to the sidewalk. And most of them weren't young enough or fast enough to get out of the way It hapenned on Victoria Avenue in Westmount Quebec. Not sure that the info is available on the internet, because of it's age OK, vehicles can be used as weapons. At least they serve a practical positive function for society - transportation. Guns can be used for good and evil Guns serve a practical positive function for society - self-defense for the law-abiding IN the US , the estimate is about 2,500,000 such DGUs (Defensive Gun Uses) each year I call that a DEFINITE "practical positive function for society" Do explain why you continue to avoid facing that little fact ? Could it be that it interferes with your hoplophobic agenda ? |

I do so in the sure and safe knowledge that there will be nobody close to me with a gun - I hope your fantasies and delusions give you comfort, I know the reality is anything but what you assert. What a sorry person you are, disparaging the person who enjoys the freedoms of a peaceful society. Like I said, let's not inject reality into your fantasy. No fantasy, it's fact- the UK is a peaceful place to live. You haven't looked at your crime rates recently have you ? Let's see. You have DOUBLE the chance of being the victim of burglary than people in the US http://www.nationmaster.com/graph/cr...ies-per-capita #7 United Kingdom: 13.8321 per 1,000 people #17 United States :7.09996 per 1,000 people You have FOUR times the chance of being the victim of fraud http://www.nationmaster.com/graph/cr...s-per-capita#2 United Kingdom:5.28324 per 1,000 people #2 United Kingdom : 5.28324 per 1,000 people #18 United States : 1.25721 per 1,000 people You have an EQUAL chance of being assaulted http://www.nationmaster.com/graph/cr...lts-per-capita #6 United States :7.56923 per 1,000 people #8 United Kingdom :7.45959 per 1,000 people And you have 5% more crime victims than the US http://www.nationmaster.com/graph/cr...-total-victims #3 United Kingdom: 26.4% #15 United States: 21.1% Yup the UK is SO MUCH MORE a peaceful place than the US I notice you didn't include homicide figures. I never said it's MORE peaceful than the US, but that the UK is a peaceful place to live. I don'[t worry about being a victim, like you do. 1) YOU lie again Your words in this very post "the UK is a peaceful place to live" The implication of the context was EVIDENT. 2) If you decide that murder is the ONLY measure for "peaceful" Then Europe of which the UK is a part is the LEAST peaceful place to live compared to the US The US had to come and help Euros and the Brits get back to peace 3 different times in the last 100 years When was the last time you asshats had to come to the US to help make the peace. Hell the last 2 wars the US was involved in in the Americas were against Spain and Britain You have NO CLAIM to being "peaceful" 3) What makes you stupid enough that I worry about being a victim Don't confuse being cautious and Prepared like a good Boy scout with worrying about being a victim I'm twice as safe in my home as you asshats are And I'm 20% less at risk at being a crime victim than you are Too bad you're too stupid Now imagine how quickly your crime victime numbers would drop if you had the means to DEFEND YOURSELF from criminal attacks The UK would then be a MUCH BETTER place to live than it is now Don't you think ? (Oh wait, what did I just say...) We have right to use as much force as necessary in self defence, and since the chance of encountering a firearm is negligible we certainly don't need firearms to protect ourselves. Excessive force would result in a prosecution anyway, not that I would dream of waving a gun at a burglar who is trying to nick my TV. smirk Sure you do You don't even have the right to equip yourself to use the force necessary to protect your lives against an armed criminal Your "right" so-called right to self-defense is pretty well non-existent \ If guns were legalized and commonplace it would be far, far less safe. Prove it But I'll refer your to your recent history 100 years ago, the English could by a handgun with no restrictions or rigmarole At the same time, the crime rate was low and the police did NOT need to be armed Then gun control slowly came creeping along And now the police need to be armed because the criminals are armed and the citiz.. uh subje...uh slaves are disarmed You do remember the difference between a slave and freeman under Saxon law. One was armed, the other not. By Saxon law, you are a (disarmed) slave |

I stated a fact about the shootings I even cited in an earlier post quotes from survivors There was even a victim who, while hiding under a desk overheard another student repeat over and over something like "They (the police) will be here soon" over and over Reporting what happened to be able to learn from a situation is NOT an attack And the fact that it reflects badly on the victims is NOT an attack on them either Only a fool (that's you) suffering from a serious case of denial (that's also you) would try to silence any discussion of the events (that's you again) because it might reflect badly on the victims who were made helpless by the VERY people who were responsible for their safety ".. the sheeplike nature of his victims who waited around doing nothing.." Disgusting belittlement of peaceful civilians, gunned down by a psychopath. Nonetheless they behaved like sheep going to slaughter. Only the political correctness of morons, who ignore the truth and get upset at it And you're right, such sheeplike meekness in humans is indeed a disgusting thing I would be deeply embarrassed if any of those had been my kids But then, I was raised in the same school of thought as Professor Librescu Using this as a justification for arming students and teachers is farcical and repugnant. The real problem is the frequency of these massacres are in the USA. That is the real problem. Only the well-trained and cowed sheep would consider "farcical and repugnant" the idea of arming themselves against those who would oppress or harm them You clearly haven't read Animal Farm, And if you have, you've learned nothing from it Had any of those students been armed, they wouldnt have been defenseless victims hiding under tables waiting for someone to rescue them, or being lined up waiting to be shot The fact that they did behave in such a helpless and cowardly fashion is a sad, sad reflection on them, their parents, their teachers and the society that created them. If you get your own gun turned on you, that would be karma. LOL Another stupid hoplophobic meme "The criminal will use the victims gun against them.." But it's no surprise that cowards like you would wish such a thing on others Your statment is not even farcical It's just disgusting and repugnant Spoke like a true coward |

One at a time... Do you seriously believe there would be 32 (is that right?) dead at VT if he had gone there armed with a knife? Would he have killed only 32 if he drove through crowds with a pickup? Far fewer. People will generally scatter if they see a vehicle cruising towards them, and once you've got two or three bodies jammed under the front that will impede progress. Dumbass. There's probably a cultural perception bias re vehicles. In the US we have big cars and pick-up trucks. Even our "mid-sized" vehicles are larger than what's a common vehicle in Europe. In Europe most people drive smaller economy cars. Someone is not going to go very far into a crowd driving a Mini, Ford Festiva, Citroën, or VW Golf--but use a Ford F150 or Dodge Ram 1500 and the crowd is going to be a lot more squishy. You don't even have to go that big. A Jeep Cheerokee is the same weight and length as a Dodge Caravan In 4wd, the Jeep will happily roll over 3-4 bodies jammed together in front of it and keep doing it over and over util there are no more bodies or now moer gas Happily? You really are quite a charmer aren't you? I can hear you salivating from here. Seek psychiatric help now. LOL Why is it that hoplophobes are so fixated on mental illness I suspect that it's very prevalent among them. Over the last 20 years, I've been tested for mental stability as a requirement of the work I've done Always passed with flying colors Don't confuse black humor with mental illness They are NOT the same thing AS a matter of fact, in many cases, black humor is a sign of mental health as it is a very effective way of derailing the stress of being exposed to pretty horrible situations. |

Punctuation in colonial times was not fixed. Usage was considered an art, not a rule. One punctuated as one gave meaning to words, sentences, phrases, as they spoke. Sorry, can you try that again in English (American if you like; I can read that too)? Highly doubfull And your inability to analyse semantically this phrase as well as the 2nd Amendment proves it But let's try if rephrased One ( a person) punctuated as one (same person) gave meaning to words, sentences, phrases, as they (that same person) spoke. It was far more 'inflection' than 'grammar.' And to put a finer point to it, there is disagreement even today, among literate scholars as to the placement of the common comma. I see standards haven't improved over there, That makes no sense. The correct expression is "Not to put too fine a point on it" Nah! You can't even see your own ignorance Think Pencil or icepick with the phrase "To put a finer point to it" No, not among literate scholars, just the semi-literate as before. As if you ever met either You really should work at improving yourself It's really not that hard, even for a dolt like you The answer to the meaning of the second resides in an understanding of times and sentiments of the authors. Read their comment, letters, and quoted remarks. It's quite obvious that the 'right' is a preexisting one being given the proper emphasis it deserves. Recognizing it didn't bring it into creation. It was there to recognize. And where did I suggest otherwise? My point was that the reason for the second amendment was the recognition that a militia was needed, and this was the reason for the continued availability of weaponry. There you go again Confused once more by your ignorance I suggest you do some historical research. d Over to you. One has to wonder what you consult in Must be stupidity |

Oldest city in Germany's is Trier at 2000+ years, older than anything in the UK (about 1400 years)... I could have sworn that I saw things in the excavations in Bath that were at least 1000 years older than that. The city was named after the Roman bath works, etc. My bad, I failed to state "continuously occupied." Your point was? In Europe, 100 miles can take you across the continent and through 3-5 counties. In America (at least here where I live on the left coast), 100 miles doesn't even take you to the next large city in the same state. And those distances also make passenger rail travel not nearly as popular or practical as in Europe. Thus, one of the significant differences in vehicle use. I guess it all depends on how close to a border you live. I can make a 100 mile trip and cross into and out of four states and be back home. But I get your point, I'm not trying to be facetious. In Europe crossing countries is like crossing states in the US. In some cases we have cities bigger than European countries. |

LOL WE are "constantly scared" Now where did you get that nonsense from ? By the way, have you seen the pictures from the Kansas Tornado ? Even those people live smack in the middle of Tornado Alley, do you think they were "constantly scared" ? And in that context,amy having insurance on my house and cars.. a fire extinguisher in my kitchen.. spare fuses next to my fuse box... a first aid kit and spare bandaids in my house... extra food, water and fuel in my house, just in case a tornado hits evidence of being constantly scared ? Just like the above, being prepared for bad situations that I can mitigate easily and cheaply is NOT ANY evidence that I am constantly scared On the contrary, it's evidence that I have REDUCED my stress level, since I have done EVERYTHING conveniently possible to REDUCE a particular risk in my life So in actual fact, it's EVIDENCE that I AM LESS SCARED than before I took such steps So what makes YOU imagine that we are "constantly scared" when we anticipate a bad situation, prepare for it and then go on with our lives knowing that sjit happens ? |

And don't chreey pick your data either. I've ALWAYS been able to support EVERYTHING I've claimed so far, whily you have NOT supported ANY of your claims yet Instead you triied to weasel that it was something else that was being discussed You have ZERO credibility so far It's time for you to perfom on YOUR claims BEFORE you earn the right to expect more from me |

It is very specific - your permission to bear arms is for the purpose of maintaining an armed militia. Any other use of a gun is unconstitutional. English not your first language ? Before I leave you alone, just thought I'd highlight this rather strange insult, coming from you, of course. BTW, just to show that you are a liar, since you are thowing the epithet out, you said this: "2) It was NOT a discussion about the Presidential Oath It was ALWAYS about the Pledge of Allegiance' ummmm: The worst of them all was that paragon (as I'm sure some here will see him) Senator Joe McCarthy. Among his other pleasant acts he had the "under God" bit put in the oath. Everybody since the founding of your country has failed to live up to the aspirations of the founders. Once again YOU demonstrate your ignorance http://history.vineyard.net/pledge.htm "In 1954, Congress after a campaign by the Knights of Columbus, added the words, 'under God,' to the Pledge. The Pledge was now both a patriotic oath and a public prayer." http://www.slate.com/?id=2067499 I guess the fact that English is pretty far down the totem pole in your list of languages as confused you about the difference between "the oath" and "the Pledge". |
