Why in the hell do you want me to listen too a idiot???

When the people fear their government, there is tyranny; when the government fears the people, there is liberty.
Thomas Jefferson

 

Im sorry but how FUCKING retarted can she be. Criminals will commit crime no matter what. Lets just say even if all the guns were taken of the streets people will start killing people by other means such as stabbing. Are we then going to outlaw knives?? Should we out law spoons and forks because they make people fat? More people die in car accidents should we outlaw them? Mabey TV's because they give kids seizures? The answer to these questions is No, and ill tell you why. BECAUSE EVERYONE WANTS THEM AND USES THEM. Those that dont want or wont use a gun think they should be banned. And, if she feels so unsafe mabey she should go get a gun to protect herself. What she fails to realize is that 9 times out of 10 the police arent there to stop a crime. They just come to find out what happened and who did it after you are already dead. As for the militia goes what she didnt mention was that militias were the people when the constitution was written. It also doesnt say the right of the militias to keep and bear arms..... It says the right of the PEOPLE to keep and bear arms....One things that I think is over looked is the word BEAR which can also mean carry. (the right of the people to keep and carry arms...) I love it when these anti gun idiots come up with this crap because I love picking apart thier argument.

 

Common sense isn't so common in some people.

 

Supreme Court admits "the people" in the Second Amendment are the same "people" as in the rest of the Bill of Rights—In U.S. v. Verdugo-Urquidez the Court stated that "‘the people’ seems to have been a term of art employed in select parts of the Constitution. . . . [and] it suggests that ‘the people’ protected by the Fourth Amendment, and by the First and Second Amendments, and to whom rights and powers are reserved in the Ninth and Tenth Amendments, refers to a class of persons who are part of a national community or who have otherwise developed sufficient connection with this country to be considered part of that community."

Jking..not all are bad

 

x2 (i know im not old but) the older I get I realize this more and more every day

research, research, research.....how can you be a journalist and write something so dumb and easily picked apart and burned?

She refered to a 'militia' as 'military people'...there is a difference there lady. A militia could be people from your neighborhood, and the refered to 'militia' was not a military at first, it was everyone who had guns to stand up for their rights and freedom.
