Lets do some serious talking about gun laws.

I have to agree more with Vivienne than you. SCOTUS is the ultimate determiner of how the Second Amendment is interpreted. It does not matter one iota how you, Vivienne or I interpret the amendment. And SCOTUS, which is more Conservative than Liberal, has consistently ruled that the Second Amendment is limited in the freedoms it gives citizens regarding the right to bear arms. And how do the justices on the Supreme Court get there? We vote for the President who nominates them and we vote for our representatives in Congress who approve the nominations. So we, the people, do have a significant say in how the Second Amendment is to be interpreted.

We've discussed this before. With several of the SCOTUS justices getting up there in years, the next POTUS will probably have a great say in determining the future interpretation of the Second Amendment.

1 thing the gun grabbers always say is, "people need to get a take a class and get a license, just like a drivers license!!"

I'll agree to that if they lift all NFA restrictions and the 86 ban and tax stamps. Cause if I can go buy a 700hp car from the factory, I should be able to buy a SAW without question.

A question I do have about being "licensed gun owners" are we still allowed private sales? If so do we ask to see the buyers license? Cause when I sell a car I sure as hell don't ask to see Their DL.

Of course, someone like Hillarious-No-More, who doesn't drive, can't wrap her brain damaged head around such a thing! And since she "hears things" believing someone is shooting at her ..... she should not be trusted with a firearm either.
I was just watching CNN's Wolf, and Ron Paul was the guest.

To Wolf Blitzer's dismay, Paul stated that he was a backer of the 2d Amendment, and Lawmakers should focus on inner city murders, (Chicago), and crime rather than stripping law abiding citizens of their Rights.

(Sarcasm Alert!)

Additionally, the "licensing and training" mandates anticipated by the know-nothings-about-reality crowd will quell the senseless killings in Chicago in the poor neighborhoods no doubt! After all a "Federal law" might be more "persuasive" than some silly City ordinance or two!!!

Alternatively, the "Stalag 17" response ...of tin cans on the feet and tossed into the street!

I'll repeat: It does not matter how either you or I interpret the Second Amendment. It does not matter what the intent of the Founding Fathers was when they wrote the Second Amendment. What matters is how the states and the court system all the way up to SCOTUS interpret the Second Amendment. It is not MY interpretation that counts. It is not YOUR interpretation that counts. GOT IT????

And BTW, when did I ever say that I was voting for Clinton? Again, you simply do not take the time to read and understand.

Did you forget to list Mexico which has stringent gun control laws? How about Chile, Russia, and Brazil? Liberal gun control?

Keep posting, junior. Your credibility gets lower (if it can get lower) with each of your posts.
