Axe_Murderer 0 #1 April 19, 2007 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Second_Amendment_to_the_United_States_Constitution From the way i see things, wasn't the second amendment drawn up to give people powers to fight the English (by forming armed militias) if need be? Since i don't think America is at risk from the English anymore isn't this WAY outdated now? shouldn't it be scrapped and new, up to date legislation brought in? the days of needing an armed malitia are long gone, so why keep the 2nd amendment? are the words of the 2nd amendment cherry picked and twisted by the pro gun people to suit their needs and desires?

bozo 0 #3 April 19, 2007 Quotehttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Second_Amendment_to_the_United_States_Constitution From the way i see things, wasn't the second amendment drawn up to give people powers to fight the English (by forming armed militias) if need be? The second amendment was written to protect the people from "their own" government. Our forefathers knew that any form of government could evolve into something very repressive. They also knew that an armed citizenry could make a repressive form of government impossible to exist here. Take away the armed citizenry and thats all gone. I served my government in a war long ago and would again, but in these days I dont trust any of them . bozo Pain is fleeting. Glory lasts forever. Chicks dig scars.

Take away my rifle and the deer have won! I will not stand for such a loss. Deer cause trouble and must be controlled through controlled elimination. Deer are evil. There is no boundary for the havoc they cause. They destroy crops, invade grain bins, attack innocent cars along roadways, storm shopping malls and run amok causing panic amongst the innocent. They must be controlled with the barrel of a gun.

ErricoMalatesta 0 #22 April 19, 2007 QuoteIn the UK, Canada, Australia and most Western European countries the government can exercise prior restraint on publications solely because the content may be deemed slanderous or offensive. Similarly, in those countries even private citizens can exercise prior restraint by getting court injunctions to prohibit "slanderous" publications" from being published. One facet of a society is not a measuring stick and for the majority of those countries with the exception of the turn of this century and the anti-nazi like fever towards radical islam, those laws have never been used to any serious effect Quote By contrast, in the US, either type prior restraint of publications is unconstitutional. With the exception of some rather Puritan pornography laws, the US probably has the greatest amount of freedom of speech and press as any nation in the world. All western countries have just as much free speech (with the possible exception of some countries tolerance towards 'hate speech' i.e neo-nazism and jihadic islam) as the U.S and most of them don't even have it written into constitutions or any laws at all. The U.S free press is probably more usless compared to most other countries anway, considering the majority don't use it. Some other things to look at would be Jail populations Crime Drugs Punishment Democracy You guys do pretty poorly in those areas Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
