There's a thousand ways to die. But somehow, guns have been the popular means. I've fired 1000's of rounds, half of those hitting varmints. But Im a sane person who respects the tool, and human lives. Humans are the problem. Defective humans to be exact. One a side note- Thank you for your service sir.
I have a model 19-3 with the original box and paperwork in ~95% condition (conservatively) that I bought for $260
I was just in the reserves, but these days they end up in places like Afghanistan!
I only practice a half hour a day, now a days, so I can "sin" a bit. I practice mindfulness these days, having fallen off the path to enlightenment and onto the path of perdition.
What kinda squad were you in?
Someone's gonna die alright, at least if they tried that shit on me,
Non the less, you served. So thank you for your time and effort.
There are people all over the world with mental health issues yet the U.S. is the only country with daily mass shootings. Why is that? What is different about the U.S.? Could a sense of entitlement born from an arbitrary right granted by a slave owner three centuries ago (when guns with repeating fire would have been science fiction) have anything to do with it?
The flaw in the founding was a shotgun wedding between the north and south with Briton holding the gun. By that time slavery had become unpopular in much of the northern British empire, however NY held out because it profited from the slave trade! This problem grew over time and when the British Empire abolished slavery in the 1820s the heat was really on in America culturally.
There's always a few bad apples to spoil the bunch..America is beholden to it's system of Democracy; sadly the Framers could've never imagined what future strides would be made and how bad actors will try to skirt, leverage and exploit our Constitution because it just wasn't invented yet.
the second amendment is in two parts, a preparatory clause, and an operative clause...
the prefatory clause was written as explanatory, not conditional.
We do stray from the core of a thread's topic at times. Often when it is not worth starting a new thread. I really like the idea of registration, Was not crazy about getting rid of the long gun registry we had (handguns were registered from way back). If the government wants to ban a type of gun I am ok with that but then they better pay up for confiscating property that was legal. Of course the gun situation in Canada is different than the US and I really can not see anything changing in the US for a long time. Maybe after the Second Civil War, in that case maybe not too long.
