The constitution doesn't apply indiscriminately. Gays should have the right to marry. Women are equals, and free speech is the cornerstone of a free society. Liberals love to pick and choose what they think is best for others. I'm not a gun guy; I just support the constitution.

It's definitely NOT legal to buy a firearm for the kid across the road or your kid's friend......

Has to be YOUR kid....either biological or legally and formally adopted.....
well you seem to have a firm grasp of the blatantly obvious, thank you for pointing that out.

I'm a lot safer in Canada than I would be in the US, gun or no gun. The US murder rate is 23 times that of Canada.

Actually they eat more Americans, because the Americans shoot at them, and that just pisses them off.

No it isn't.

Is 4.7 23 times higher than 1.6? What kind of math do they teach in Canada?

My bad....I was quoting total murder rates, but even murders per 100,000 are significantly lower in Canada. The homicide rate in the US is just under three times higher than Canada.
