You are proving yourselves to be ridiculously ignorant.

The 2nd Amendment is not about hunting, or requiring guns be "sporting" in nature.

If you wish to debate something, let alone believe that other peoples Constitutionally protected rights should be infringed, at least inform yourself.

Oh, and leave emotion out of it. It has no place in public policy.

This little diatribe of yours applies to idiots on all ends of the political spectrum. That's the job of a typical American, to be uninformed, yet, be outspoken and pretend you're not.

Very true.

But ignorance is rampant when it comes to the topic of gun control and the meaning of the 2nd Amendment.

Same goes for those on the right when the topic of gambling or legalizing weed pops up.

Lol, I generally lean right on the gun issues, but always get a good laugh at conservatives bizarre disdain toward weed.

The very fact that weed is listed as a schedule I narcotic shows how ass backwards this country really is.

Funny ain't it? I too tend to lean right on gun issues. I support the rights of others to protect themselves and their families when the cops can't always be there when seconds count. But I also laugh when conservatives preach small government and staying out of people's lives unless it has something to do with talk about legalizing marijuana.... Then, it's a no no. It just reinforces my belief that both parties suck, and are hypocrites!

Follow the money. Ain't propaganda great? Things are changing though. Several states have legalized medical weed, and 2 legalized it for recreational use. Just like with prohibition, other states will follow suit. My state will probably be one of the last, but then again maybe not.

Only time will tell if the feds actually stay the hell out of state issues, or if they continue to enforce their unconstitutional laws.

Back on topic though, it is simply amazing anti gunners are so uninformed that they truly believe the 2nd Amendment was put in place to protect peoples hunting rights.

Simply put: Because the left is basically a giant group of hormonal women.

Facts mean nothing, and they will never let the truth get in the way of a good emotional argument.
