The Second Amendment is a non-starter in the 21st century [View all]

1) You folks are half a loaf short of being a well armed militia in an era where the Internet is the next battleground.


2) The only hunting any of you do for sustenance is when you go for a sale at WalMart

3) Our founding fathers never imagined a day when you didn't have to load your musket with anything but powder and a ball. They may have been forward thinking, they never imagined war and weapons as we know them. The gun lobby has twisted the Amendment so carefully to their own designs it is now bastardized.

4)The criminals get the guns because the laws are lax, you don't keep your guns locked up, and there aren't sufficient background checks to prevent the scum from getting armed.


And it's the fault of the current generation of gun owners that we're in this mess.


Gunz gunz gunz, they are more important than your kids, or the rights of others to NOT be threatened by your need to carry them in your lily white neighborhoods. We have 40,000,000 people without health insurance and your second amendment rights are more important than life itself.


Bullshit.


Bullshit, bullshit, bullshit.
