I support gun laws, I do not support the elimination of rights, you guys gotta stop living in the extreme. There is this place called the middle and it is wonderful and sane.

That is peanuts for over 600,000 hunters! - Friendly fire, or fratricide, incidents killed or injured about 17 percent of the American casualties during Operation Desert Storm in 1991.

Shall not be infringed and shall not be abridged are very clear and concise.
Whether they are unconstitional or not is another topic, but the fact remains that they have been around for decades and it hasn't led to the elimination of the 2nd amendment, which calls for regulated militia.

Glad you think so. However, bear in mind that this was aur blatantly sarcastic reply to an urban elitist tossing out ideas about urbanites as a higher life form. Though, reading in the humor takes a broader view of the issue.
Lmao. Seriously? Your calling me an "angry bubba", as it were? Cool. I'm touched. I'm honored to be such a prime specimen in your study professor. Imagine that....lil' ol' me being accorded such attention from someone of such vast intelligence and notoriety. .
Ohhhhh myyyy!! Bwahahaha! Are you sure I covered all the bases for ya muchacho? Gimme a chance to be serious, might be I could win you the Nobel Prize. Lmaoooo!!!

Yes, I'm one of those who still believes in the writings of the people who founded this nation.

Incidentally, even the U.S. Code backs up my argument

You have a very odd relationship with not only reality, but grammar as well.

Nowhere in the 2nd does it call for regulation of firearms. In fact, it prohibits regulation.

Should I post definitions of words for you since you seem incapable of understanding them on your own?
