Texas A&M Needs To Fire This Moron

[Polecat]

It is a catch 22. Mentally ill people in this country are ignored at every level until they do something that gets media attention. You can be mad as a hatter and pass a background check if you haven't had a major episode yet. Casting everyone that owns firearms as a lunatic is probably comforting if you live where that basic right is denied so it is easy to understand why so many people are in favor of disarming the U.S. Either way our initial ideas of liberty and freedom have been getting legislated away since the beginning and I have no doubt that the second amendment will fall.

i would expect others to voice their views.

but her opinion, to which she's entitled, certainly doesn't make her a moron… even if you think she's wrong. (although historically, she's not wrong).

If I made the insinuation that she was a moron I did not mean too! I would agree with you there.

We don't need to re hash all of the quotes and debates that show that the founding fathers meant this as an individual right, you have never once been able to challenge that information! Though I will agree that there are several modern quotes that are false, we have the notes and writings from he continental congress that show this was meant to be an individual right.

Now saying that through constitutional amendment that can be changed

poor baby… where are your "sourceS" other than your constant stream of nastiness, falsehoods and spew?

feel free to crawl back under your rock now like a good boy

Says that lady that has never tried to back up anything!

some… and that's the thing. 90% of americans want reasonable regulation -- like background checks to make sure that crazies and criminals don't have guns… or at least cut down the numbers.

but what's happened is a smaller and smaller group of obsessed people are buying more and more weapons.

i suspect they'd get offended if i called it "stockpiling weapons".

Or it could be that we have between 15 and 20 million new gun owners in the USA

The Gun industry is about the only industry that Obama has actually helped

You are most likely correct, but at least it will be a fall that the Government has to take by force, and afterward the liberals will be able to see what they have created

The primary purpose of the second amendment was to insure a central government was not able to take over the various states by force. A standing army was a big, but not only, argument for the second amendment. It was to allow the states to have a well regulated militia, and who are the militia? The people of course. It was not meant that only state governments could have guns but that the citizens of that state would have the ability to come to the aid of the state if, as happened in 1861 the federal government launched an attack against their sovereignty.

The absolute truth is the second amendment has nothing to do with hunting or target shooting. The second amendment was to insure we could defend ourselves individually against tyrannical forces. And frankly, that need for defense continues to exist. Government does not "give" us rights. Its purpose is to protect the God Given rights we already have by reason of being human. A strong civilian defense insures that same government that is sworn to protect us does not decide we don't need those rights.

The only change I would sanction in the second amendment is a rewriting that states "The Rights of the Individual to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed by Congress, The President or any other Federal agency on the planet."

Background checks are already required.

Universities are filled with radical left-wing loons like this.

One good thing is that they rarely venture beyond campus into the real wprld.

[Captain Obvious]

One has to pity people who are so ashamed of their home they keep it secret and get what little joy they have in their life sniping at others. I'm guessing a frog? Perhaps a loony? Could be a Brit but I doubt it. But, what difference does it make? His obsession is with Yanks.

Oh, and I don't own a gun. I also don't have a wife. I don't necessarily object to you having either one or both.

Surrender monkies

Let us hope she can get all 57 ​states to ratify it. Huh?
