Judging intent proves a difficult endeavor if the actual impact does not matter to the courts.

Yup, that's right. That's why minority groups haven't really bothered trying to litigate on that basis...proving intent is about impossible without a bench packed with Thurgood Marshalls.

SOB - fair enough. The thing is, whereas we could legislate against guns or require more stringent criteria to qualify for ownership, we cannot legislate against stupid people. The world is, always has been, and always will be full of them.

BTW - you should have said "a gun is in no way a threat in the hands of a responsible person, it's just plain rediculous".

350,000 americans die from cigarette smoking every year .
They should be outlawed too!! To put that in perspective with your gun deaths its 30 times as dangerous to have a cig than a handgun.

Get a grip on reality. Americans will ALWAYS have thier rights
with freedom. Quit pushing your anti freedom agendas.
We have a right to kill ourselfs as we please. Now butt out.

Out of my face, Bible-Belt-Boy.

BTW, if a bible belt, why no Koran-Belt or Torah-Belt?

I demand an apology, sir!

I believe you have confused me with someone else in this base attack.

Provide the proof, or name your seconds, sir!

That is the way it must be. Consider that the alternative (allowing the guy to be convicted despite illegal government actions) would make the Constitution meaningless.

Ah yes, the infamous second amendment. TOTALLY anachronistic in this day and age. I mean, can you imagine private citizens armed with handguns or maybe even high powered rifles like RC51's, rising up against a government that has cruise missiles and cluster bombs?

The 2nd Amendment doesn't say WHY the people have the right to bear arms. The people who think it is so we can someday 'rise up' against the government in the modern age are generally idiots, although I'm sure someone can dig up an argument made by one of the framers endorsing this view.

A better arguement for being armed is for the times when the government can't protect you, such as during civil unrest or out in the wilderness.

"Anyway, SOB. Don't do a Toad"

Let's just clear the air right now, you sick bastard. I never - and I repeat - I NEVER did Toad. It was hard to shy off his advances, but eventually I distracted him by telling him Dowding was behind him, and made a swift escape.

Montezuma - when you say it like that, it makes your Constitution sound like the UN - a gridlock of paperwork which ensures that nothing can be done. Convicted killers on Death Row for 10-15 years? I think there was something to be said for guys like Judge Jeffries and the Newgate Assizes. A half hour trial, and if you look like you're guilty (which can be determined by the look in your eye), to the gallows!

SOB! Something got lost in the translation.

Sorry SOB, I might have cause a bit of this confusion. I might have mentioned in another thread that the last time I stopped by you answered the door wearing a komono with a frog in one hand and a squeez bottle of "Dr. Sex's lubricant and wart creme" in the other.

You sick bastard.
