I love this debate and could continue to play with you kids indefinetly, however I must now return to the doldrums of earning a living so I can afford to buy the ammunition I need to selectively exterminate factions that don't think like I do and just generally sit around and lynch people I don't like. It does just prove however, that thanks to the constitution ( including the 2nd amendment ) and the people I know who defend that right, you guys can voice those opinions without fear of the pervebial knock on the door in the wee hours of the morning and being carted off to some gulag. When you guys are out burning flags and yelling over every one else and berating them with bad names because they have differing opinions, remember its because of neandrathals like me that are willing to fight for you so that you can enjoy the "free" life.

A free nation that disarms its citizenry and in essense takes away their ability for self rule, is itself one step away from losing its freedom at the hands of that nation.

I shudder to think what kind of country this would be without, or if we would still be a country, if the RIGHT to bear arms was forfeited because generation X thought it was the cool thing to do and become one with all our brethern in the world and drink pepsi. By the way, I am also opposed to the metric system, we lead the world, let them change to match us. So now I suppose I am really scaring you guys and can expect another recount until you guys win, right.
