You post things as facts - not opinion. That make your postings falsehoods.
If you want to post as opinion, preface your remarks with "IMO"
Right.
Every time you post your opinion it has an IMO in your post?
You always call me a liar instead of I believe that you are a liar. You should listen more to the advice you give others.
Lead by example instead of trying to force me off this board because you don't like the things I'm saying.
That's one story in the news -- that the pilot carelessly discharged the weapon while stowing it. Another is that the pilot was showing off for his cockpit companions. Probably a third is that the dog who ate the homework did it. Funny how gun nuts blame "the government" instead of taking responsibility for their actions. That's why we restrict gun ownership here. Too many irresponsible people get off on owning a gun.
actually, I have yet to see ONE article that says he was showing the gun off, the storys I had read from ABC, NBC, CNN, Fox, and various other news agencys while trying to find one that says he was showing off the gun said absolutly nothing of the sort.

The fact that gun owners can't ‘handle’ critique or are afraid that they loose their right to carry a gun proves that they realise that rights are not written in stone.
So is a government who takes away the way the right to carry arms for private individuals a tyranny? Or are they just being democratic when your high courts rule that the spirit of the constitution was only to arm militias and not individuals?
BTW you could argue that a nuclear WMD provides the best kind of personal defence or is the best weapon to remove a tyrannical government.
Does this then mean that individuals should have the right to arm themselves with WMDs?
you know what Hitler did when he took power, or what musolini did when he was in power? He took the guns, yes thats right. The first thing a government that is tyrannical will do is unarm the citizens, an unarmed people are at the will of the armed, aka a government.
your first statement makes no sense. A democracy works on the will of the majority, if the majority seeks to remove weapons, then well... I will deal with that when it comes. But as it sits now, the majority in our country still has faith in our constitution as it is written. We fight so hard because a MINORITY, of people are trying to usurp the will of a MAJORITY.
a WMD is not a "defensive" weapon, there is absolutly no way to use it as a defensive weapon. they destroy way to many things to be even concidered a devensive type weapon. Your logic is well... out there, and you have tried to use this as a reason to remove arms from law abiding citizens in previous posts, and If my memory serves me, you did not get anywhere with that.
this ruling was made in the 50's concerning sawed off shotguns which in that time were not part of normal military equipment. IF you read the end of your quote, it does state what a milita is, and what a milita should have, which is their own arms. and is made up of citizens.
If you look at some of our more modern military weapons, we do have shotguns with shorter barrels, and no stocks in use now. If this case were to be retried, I belive that the decision would be reversed based on modern military equipment in use in our army.
By using the logic of this court case, it should be much easyer than it is now to get ahold of a Fully automatic M-16, since it is used in our modern military and therefore would fit with what a "well regulated milita" would need to come to the defense of our country.
actually, I have yet to see ONE article that says he was showing the gun off, the storys I had read from ABC, NBC, CNN, Fox, and various other news agencys while trying to find one that says he was showing off the gun said absolutly nothing of the sort.
all of the articles I had read said he was being suspended without pay pending further investigation. I will post links to the article when I get home from work this eve.
