2nd amendment under attack (131)
john12196341: with all due respect u have a socialist government that takes care of the people from the cradle to the grave. we americans like to take care of ourselves and not let the government tell how the people to live. we dont want and like the government to pry in our lives
bad guys,will still,get guns,handguns are banned,in chicago,etc.still,a live fire zone!------ This thread is Archived ------
2intrigued: Don't know John but it sure feels good knowing that I can walk the streets at night without fear of some maniac pulling a gun on me.

I wouldn't say pansies...more like peacekeepers enjoying a life without the stress of having to constantly look over our shoulders. Our government may not be the best but they do look after their own. I've never felt a need to protect myself.

that is why canada will never be a superpower like the usa. also u must like paying high taxes just to pay off the luxuries and handouts to people who want to slack off. ur government is the laughing stock and that is why people down here make fun of the canucks------ This thread is Archived ------
John, we do have the right to protect ourselves but common sense tells us that it is ridiculous to get killed over something as trivial as a few dollars in our pocket. It is much too easy to pull out a hand gun and shoot someone over and then claim self defense.Too many people totally misunderstand the proper interpretation for the right to bear arms. JMO

Violence in the USA is not so much about availability of guns (btw I understand the need to obtain a gun if you live in a bad neighborhood) as it is about a pervasive culture of war and violence, a cult of force.
Other things e.g. drug laws etc make the problem worse.

You know reb it really amazes me that our government is always able to find the funds to police other countries but can never find the funding to take care of our own people.

finally a sensible quote. i commend u on that sir. i would protect myself with the firearm than wait for the police when they do show up like 20 min after the crime. the time they get to the scene the robbers are gone and the person is killed.------ This thread is Archived ------

That's alright John, Canada isn't all about becoming a superpower throwing billions of dollars into superpower endeavors and ignoring the health and lives of their own. There's something about living a life of peace that makes it all worthwhile here. Happy people equals less bitterness and an overall superior sense of wellbeing...it's all good.

On the other hand, it's true to some extent that Canada enjoys an implicit security guarantee, thanks to the USA.

john12196341: let me educate u on the second amendment since u are a not from this country. the second amemdment goes as follows. a well regulated militia being necessary to the security of the free state or the right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed against any agression for within or outside. this is what the second amendment is. u know what made america? i tell you. god,guns,guts, and the blood and sweat of people. this nation should not take any orders from anyone let alone the united nations. we are a soverign nation.
The Second Amendment (Amendment II) to the United States Constitution protects the right of the people to keep and bear arms from infringement. It was adopted on December 15, 1791, along with the rest of the United States Bill of Rights. The Second Amendment was based partially on the right to keep and bear arms in English common-law and was influenced by the English Bill of Rights of 1689. This right was described by Sir William Blackstone as an auxiliary right, supporting the natural rights of self-defense, resistance to oppression, and the civic duty to act in concert in defense of the state.
In United States v. Cruikshank (1876), the Supreme Court of the United States ruled that, "The right to bear arms is not granted by the Constitution; neither is it in any manner dependent upon that instrument for its existence" and limited the applicability of the Second Amendment to the federal government. In United States v. Miller (1939), the Supreme Court ruled that the federal government and the states could limit any weapon types not having a “reasonable relationship to the preservation or efficiency of a well regulated militia”.
In the twenty-first century, the amendment has been subjected to renewed academic inquiry and judicial interest. In District of Columbia v. Heller (2008), the Supreme court handed down a landmark decision that held expressly that the amendment protects an individual right to possess and carry firearms. In McDonald v. Chicago (2010), the Court clarified its earlier decisions limiting the amendment's impact to a restriction on the federal government and expressly found that it limits state and local governments to the same extent that it limits the federal government.

in my opinion I think the right to bear arms should allow Americans to only carry the firearms that were available from 1791 -

All good until you remind yourself that it's paid for by dead children.

so u are saying that americans should have ony a firearm with one round. that is stupid and it comes from with all due respect from a typical anti-second amendment left wing bleeding heart liberalIn United States v.

john12196341: i see that idoit of secretary of state signed that UN arms bill. that is so stupid. also it is stupid that congress are not allowed to ratify it. this is overstepping of power and the first step toward confiscation of all firearms by this dictatorail regime. congress is the only one to ratify it. law abiding citizens are being threatened by this government. th is is another reason why this president should be impeached and broungt up on charges of treason. i told the people what will happen if this poor excuse of a human being get reelected. also i will predict the people will not stand for it any longer. we have the right to bare arms. it goes to show how far this a hole will go to stay in power.
So on one hand you are saying your president is going against the majority of people who want the full power of the second amendment, but then on the other hand you say the president is doing this to stay in power, maybe I am stupid (I'm not) but you cannot have it both ways, so your logic is completely faulty therefore your argument is worthless.
