Look at all the language already inserted into the 2nd amendment, using legislation, unconstitutionally!! Government ignores, the shall not be infringed part, with them appointing a supreme court that at one point in time, agreed that "shall not be infringed" does not exist in the 2nd amendment.

Today, the 2nd Amendment reads:

Militia is forbidden, the police state exists to keep the free state in control. The privilege of citizens 21 years and older, who are non-felons and mentally sane, may keep but not bear, the small arms the government allows.

Tell me it does not say that today and you would be a liar.

I read that clearly. I still ask the same question. It is not their job to protect you. They are there as a symbol of deterrence, not to jump in front of you as the shooting starts.

My point exactly.

Turn down the emotion. You don't need to think about anything these folks say if you don't like it. We call it the 2nd amendment because the 1st amendment comes before it.

lol when was it revised? It says the same thing it did when it was written in 1791

"A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed."

SCOTUS ruled that the police have no obligation to protect.

I wasn't making the argument for more guns, just saying that this guy probably wasn't done and it's a good thing he was engaged by a good person.

I eat breakfast at a truck stop/café almost every morning. It sits out by itself 15 miles from the nearest town. Probably half the patrons carry. In 25 years, the place has never been robbed. Might just be a coincidence but I doubt it.

Of course but conservatives are generally fine allowing a huge, unlimited budget for it and rarely criticize it's members. But they usually want all other fed government as small as possible and speak about gov't workers as if they are slackers.
