    You don't have to be in control of your own life to control the people around you you have to be in control of the people around you.

    Yeah sexual assault could either be protecting yourself against an enemy or being a violent perv.
    Your definition is just dumb. Get over it.

    You lost the argument about the hunting being constitutional, because you just edited my post and are deflecting of topic.

    And other western civilized nations apply it, with much stricter gun laws... with the result of not having to deal with all that carnage.
    The US is at the bottom of that list.

    Y'all still have carnage, just more victims than we do. At least some of our carnage consists of shot up bad guys.

    They have a private messaging function if you want a private conversation. This is the open forum where it's kind of what happens we all have conversations about things.

    Are you naive enough to believe that people can never be victims of violent crime through no fault of their own?

    And of course, children. Dozens of them.
    It may well be the elderly and infirm soon.

    It certainly would be if you and your friends take their firearms away.

    The you aren't paying attention to the divisiveness that is increasing in Washington DC. If the 2A starts getting eroded expect to see many of the military members and police force rebel. Many of them belong to the NRA and own a variety of guns. Civilians have drones too.

    Actually, the overall violent crime rates in those countries went up.

    My guess is that he was just practicing his "Stand Down" response.

    You know, you want to get that right the first time around...lol

    Actually, my recommendation regarding longer prison sentences, under very-much-less-pleasant conditions, is specific for those who commit crimes with firearms!

    Example: A guy gets in a fight with some other moron in a bar, throws a "lucky" punch, and his opponent does not get up. He goes to prison, but is fully eligible for parole, sentence-commutation, work-release, etc.

    But, some other idiot commits armed robbery, gets caught, and WHETHER HE SHOOTS ANYONE OR NOT -- he gets a LONG sentence, in a 'not-fun' prison, and he STAYS there for the full term. Think: Château d'If :evil:

    What the hell are you asking about? Wasn't I clear enough? We on the Constitution-loving Right cherish the right (not 'privilege') of being fully-empowered to defend ourselves with adequate force against "criminals and crazies". Many on the Constitution-hating Left want to strip the Second Amendment out and leave sane, law-abiding citizens in a situation where they can "take a knife to a gun fight", or just roll over and be at the mercy of these murderous creatures.

    If you don't want to defend yourself, then DON'T... but the rest of us American citizens have the right to make our own decisions, and we'll fight you on the Left tooth-and-nail to keep that right!

    In your Post #2820 you have attributed a quote to me that I did NOT write! I didn't write one word in this thread saying, "Semi-auto is just a deer rifle as far as long guns go. Glock and Baretta pistols are semi-auto. Those are here to stay, and banning semi-auto would almost certainly fail as unconstitutional"....

    Now, again: Get your attributions straight or go away!

    As far as 'barging in' on any openly-posted discussion in this Forum is concerned, "if you can't stand the heat, stay OUT of the kitchen". You are welcome to criticize anything that I post here (and you frequently do), but don't tell me that I don't have the right to do the same! See ya! :nana:

    That's what I thought - just more absurd & introverted gibberish.

    Maybe we should switch over to German? It's more precise than English, although if you can't see what you wrote (your Post #2820), and, thus, what I DIDN'T write, I doubt you would do better in any other language.... Forget it. But in future when/if you quote me, at least bother to quote ME and not someone/something else.... :rolleyes:

    But changes to 2A can apply to criminals too by doing pretty much what you suggest and make carrying à gun a very serious affair.
    Changes to 2A are not just for one side. If armed robbery is made to carry years of prison, then slowly your need to defend yourself will reduce.
    Réduction in arms has to be carefully managed . But the 8nsane idea that the police are not there to protect you will never allow any progress. It automatically forces you to use arms.
    Your entire situation is à ridden wrapped in an enigma and you are welcome to it.
