I've seen quite a few people link guns to masculinity and bravery. Are they correlated?
This isin't about gun rights, I support the 2nd amendment and don't support Feinstein's proposal to ban "assault weapons" Keep all your guns and high capacity magazines, buy 100 more if you can afford it.
I find it hilarious when idiots like Bill Maher presume to know what conservatives are thinking. If Bill Maher knew what conservatives know, he would not be a liberal.
Do we have guns to be "macho"? No. Why do we have guns-
1. they are fun
2. many that we own are historical weapons from ww2
3. we like to hunt (pigs and coyotes)
4. we like to target shoot
5. taking apart weapons and examining them gives kids an appreciation of precision machining and an understanding of modern devices. We did the same thing with telephones, toasters, engines, ect when the the kids were at home.
6. It is our Constitutional Right
I don't consider myself to be "macho" at all. In fact, I find aggressive individuals who use weapons and intimidation to project thier "dominance" to be hilarious.
Not true. The term people in the entire Constitution refers to the people.
Individuals...
If that were true, the SUBJECT of the Amendment would not be MILITIA. And, you need to also notice that it doesn't merely say MILITIA, it says REGULATED MILITIA. A regulated militia does not consist of individual gun fondlers each of whom goes around pretending he's Rambo because he lacks self-esteem and owning a gun provides him with a bravado. (Look up bravado).

A REGULATED MILITIA in the context of the 2nd Amendment means being able to hit a target at a set distance with a specific charge. that right there goes to show how little you actually know about firearms.
ask a gunsmith to REGULATE your firearm, and they should ask you at what distance and at what charge.
You might have, but there are others assuring me that the Second Amendment is about individual gun ownership and has nothing to do with the regulated militias. I'll beat it to death all over again if necessary.
Courts, history, and the words of the founding fathers all prove you wrong.
Only a fool refuses to admit they are wrong when faced with evidence to the contrary.
You have proven over and over again you do not know what you are talking about in regards to the 2nd Amendment, and the Constitution in general.
It's time for recess little girl, run along and let the grownups handle the intellectual stuff.
ROFLMAO! I just sent your post to my bf, and he's nearly busting a gut laughing. Thanks for the humor.
goes to show that your BF doesnt know anything about gunsmithing either. please read up on a subject if you are going to comment. also look up what regulate means as well when used in context with firearms. you might actually learn something, although I doubt it very much.
well regulated means well trained and being able to hit a target with a specific charge at a set distance.
please tell your bf to learn something even if you refuse to.
