    Where is that inscribed in law? I would say that the public's right to protect itself supersedes the desire of a gun nut to pleasure himself with a limitless arsenal of weaponry. All constitutional rights are circumscribed by the rights of others. None is absolute.

    Pretending that there must no reasonable limits regarding who can wield any type of shooty and where he can wield it because he gets nervous if he minces about without one is nutty. Americans have a right to protect themselves and their loved ones from homicidal nutjobs.

    Do you really believe that measures to prevent gunsters from perpetrating school massacres wth assault weapons is bad public policy?

    Its written in the constitution. You know, that thing that tells us what we're allowed to impose on eachother with the violence of the state, and what we're not.

    You can quit it with the 'reasonable' crap. You know full well we don't agree on what is 'reasonable'. You're every bit as unreasonable as you surely believe I am. If you want to infringe on the right to bear arms, I'll be happy to discuss with you amending the constitution. Thats the only lawful and legitimate way to restrict the bearing of arms.

    And I'm all for armed security at schools to prevent school shootings. At one point in time, 51% of the high schools in our nation had armed security, and you'll notice (if you bother to look) there is an extremely high correlation between schools that don't have full time armed security and schools that spree-killers target to maximize their body count.

    No absolute right is "written in the constitution," even if you eat a high-fiber diet and are well-regulated.


    Do you oppose all popularly-supported preventative measures to keep guns out of the hands of unstable individuals, such as those who take advantage of permissive laws to easily obtained them and massacre children and other innocents??

    There's arms restrictions I would support amending into the constitution.

    I don't agree with everything SCOTUS has ever ruled. Do you?

    Care to share your research data?

    And do your anti-abortion arguments, have no evidence?


    Do you take that to be putting forth an argument? Seriously?

    Care to offer examples, with explanations?
