However, I'm a gun-toting liberal. Does that just f*** with your head or what, Mike?!
OK, listen up....all you gun-toting liberals lay down your guns, back up and get back in the box! *spits on the ground and glares at Rogillo* [Clint Eastwood voice]I ain't gettin' in no box. Not fer you. Not fer anybody. If you want me in a box, yer gonna have to put me there ... punk![/Clint Eastwood voice] |

Elite 3519 San Jose, CA | Subject: RE: FIREARMS REFRESHER COURSE Rogillio - 2006-10-27 6:13 AM 5. If guns are outlawed, can we use swords?
I like this one. Don't like guns..they are noisey and impersonal. With a sword, I can look into the eyes of my prey before I kill them. Oh I am not against guns...and I am gay and a liberal...Own many swords and know how to use them....what box do I go to...

Master 2231 Des Moines, Iowa | Subject: RE: FIREARMS REFRESHER COURSE The Mac - 2006-10-27 8:30 AM 4. Gun control is not about guns; it's about control NO, religion is about control. I am not against people who own guns, rather, I am for people who choose not to own them. That's why i don't believe in religion.... |

My guess is that it wasn't prohibited, it was just something they couldn't afford, or had no interest in owning. Most of the guns owned back then were used for hunting and self protection. A cannon is rather difficult to use for either of those purposes. If you wish to debate the role of artillery in the defense, I am more than willing to do so.RedCorvette - 2006-10-27 9:39 AM the bear - 2006-10-27 9:30 AM marmadaddy - 2006-10-27 8:25 AM The 2nd Amendment guarantees a right to bear arms. When the 2nd Amendment was written and enacted, there were essentially 2 kinds of arms: muskets and cannons. Yet no one was allowed to own a cannon. Discuss. WHERE does it say I can't own a cannon? I know a guy in a local gun club who owns a cannon. I'm not about to tell him he can't have it. Mark "Yet no one was allowed to own a cannon." I'm pretty sure Mike was talking about when the ammendmant was enacted, not today. Yeah...it would be tough to go squirrel hunting with a cannon :-) |

Expert 1065 Montreal | Subject: RE: FIREARMS REFRESHER COURSE >9. Those who trade liberty for security have neither. From an outsider looking at the US now it looks like the whole country opted for that with your Patriot Act and Terrorist Surveillance Act. As I said - I'm an outsider so maybe I am missing the nuances of these acts but they seem like curiosities in a country where the citizenry value their liberty. |

As I said - I'm an outsider so maybe I am missing the nuances of these acts but they seem like curiosities in a country where the citizenry value their liberty. I know, it is an absolute attack on our personal freedoms. We are looking more and more like Canada everyday......it's ironic that it is "conservative" leadership that is leading us down this slippery slope. You think a bunch of our buddies can form a militia and take over the government with our hunting rifles?.......kind of sounds like amendment #2 is a little obsolete.

There are plenty of resources for Americans to learn and understand the Patriot act. The only problem is that you have to do your homework and most Americans are unwilling to to do that. |

I don't either.... It just gives a lot of people something else gripe about.... Like I mentioned in another thread, things have changed in this World and you have to deal with it.......Suck it up and move on.... On the concealed class, I went through it here in Texas.... I do wish they would use a silhoutte that was a little smaller....we had people missing these. It is out of control to miss a target half...that is the size of a NFL lineman in a situation where there is no stress. Kenny |
