I believe that the second amendment is what keeps all the others preserved. :razz:
On another note, the NAACP and all those liberal hypocrites need to learn to shut up and get into the 21st century. The institutionalized discrimination they fought is long gone. Now, rather ironically, they seek to create more discrimination under the banner of "affirmative action" *barf*.
Let's see, I'll offend every other liberal sensibility here while I'm feeling in a trollish mood....
(insert crazy right wing rant)
Here come the Republicans. "The first amendment is being construed to vague. We must narrow free speech. We must limit privacy (abortion). The Bill of Rights is becoming the death of everything in this country. But don't you DARE touch that second one..."
I'm sorry, but back when the 2nd amendment was created, there was no police. There was no 3rd Infantry Division. There was no 100th Airborn. There was Bob and Billy Bob on his backporch with a shotgun. "A well regulated militia" was all they had. Back then, it was necessary.
Today it's not. I'm sorry, but when the Framers built the second amendment, I don't think they were thinking of three guys with a .22 in a Dodge Durango.
If you add the populations of Great Britain, France, Spain, Sweden, Australia, and Japan you get a population roughly the size of the United States. They had more than TEN TIMES the number of gun deaths that we did last year. Do you think that's because Americans are more homicidal by nature, or because those guys have stronger gun control laws?
The NRA and by that I mean the GOP voted down a ban on a GRENADE LAUNCHER last year. A FREAKIN GRENADE LAUNCER. In a country such as this I'm more than willing to accept more than one view, but can we all for dear God agree that there's no place on the streets for a GRENADE LAUNCHER?! Another gun was banned during the Clinton administration was brought back under a different name--all the company did was change the grip. That's it. With the Bush Administration, it got through.
Back to topic. I like it. I get sick of hearing the NAACP bitch and moan whenever whites do anything together and then at the same time support racist discrimination via affirmative action.
