Does the Second Amendment define arms? Why not rocket launchers? And does the 2nd Amendment discriminate against the mentally ill? Should all the mentally ill have equal rights to weapons? Why not?
I love it when a liberal gun-hater loses the argument so completely. They immediately change the subject and try to direct the conversation to limiting other things instead.
Only took a page and a half of the thread this time.
One pump action shotgun, one bolt action 30.06 (or similar), maybe a single shot .22. That's enough. With a shotgun, rifle and four wheel drive, a country boy can survive.
Perhaps the guns should be limited to what was available in 1787, the year the constitution was signed.
then lets do something stupid and limit EVERYTHING to what was available in 1787, like no more computers, no aircraft, hot air balloons are ok though, no cars, only horses and trains of the steam engine variety, no telephones, not even a telegraph. no more roads, houses built with anything other than wood, no electricity, no water heaters, only wood burning stoves, no television, no cds, no dvds, no tape players, etc.
also no supermarkets, you buy everything you need from individual stores, so you go to the meat market to get your meat, and the general store to get most everything else. no hospitals, no antibiotics, in fact few drugs of any kind. doctors made house calls, wooden sailing ships, etc. just how much re you really willing to give up to go back to 1787?

It's especially entertaining when these government-uber-alles types start telling others that the big-govt type knows better than they do, what they need and/or can get along with.
The arrogance and condescension of the liberals approaches hubris levels sometimes.
I know a guy who must have at least 50 guns, all the way from muzzle-loaders, to assault weapons. But he's lost about 2/3 of his hearing------the muzzle-loaders are the worst for that problem. He's never hunted or had any experience with guns out in the field and it's not clear why he wants to have them. Three of his brothers, who've never hunted or been in combat, have also had many guns.
My personal observations, are that many of the people who seem most obsessed with owning large collections of guns, are those who have never had military service, been in law-enforcement or have been hunters. They've never seen first-hand, the destruction and tragedy guns can cause, in the wrong hands. And they may be trying to make up for their lack of service, in their own minds, by surrounding themselves with a lot of armament. Most of them are untrained and don't know what they're doing.

Maybe the guns are phallic symbols or substitutes for them.
Exactly why we need the "Save our Hearing" Act passed.
