Really?! Then accept my challenge write it down! Lemme SEE IT. Talk is cheap as they say. You know darned well no such law can be written. IT'S IMPOSSIBLE.
Oh, NICE TRY, Grasshopper!!!!!!!! That's N-O-T what the 2nd Amend says and you KNOW IT!! It SAYS: "A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of >THE PEOPLE< (NOT the right of MILITIA MEMEBERS!!!) to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed." BIGGGGG DIFFERENCE in meaning, yes? YES.
BTW, our Supreme Court laid that "militia" straw man in its grave a few years back...just so you know...
Larry I haven't got the time or will to respond to all of your points
However three points I will respond to :-
If you just calmed down for a bit you would have realised, that my changing of the 2nd amendment's was my response to your challenge to write a law that couldn't be written.
As suspected your response was that's not what the 2nd amendment says, which in some ways is reassuring as you are correct a few new words do and in my opinion would make a big difference, that is the whole point, no use writing a new law that makes no difference, thank you for that admission.
'Sorry, Nick, I tried...truly...I DID. But I just couldn't wade thru all those gun stats. Knowing as I do how manipulated they are over here, I've grown to just ignore them 'in toto' (or 'en toto' if you prefer). You know the old adage; "There are 3 kinds of lies: lies, damned lies, and statistics." A former PM of yours (Disraeli) said that, you know.
...
Somewhat ironic seeing that this thread was started with a bunch of statistics in favor of guns that you had no problems with, and indeed you often use statistics to back up your arguments.
Seriously Larry if you adopt the confirmation biases method, it will most likely contribute to overconfidence in your personal beliefs even in the face of contrary evidence.
Uh...Nick? 'Sorry to shoot holes in your narrative (no pun intended)...but, guns WERE NOT ALLOWED at that venue.
I never mentioned in the venue, this is what I was referring to
The lead guitarist of a country music band playing Route 91 Harvest festival, where a gunman murdered 58 people on Sunday night, has said the horrific experience of the attack has changed his views on gun laws in America.
“I’ve been a proponent of the [second] amendment my entire life,” Caleb Keeter posted on Twitter. “Until the events of last night. I cannot express how wrong I was.”But Keeter went further, describing the deadliest shooting in modern US history as a revelation. He said that members of the band’s crew have concealed handgun licenses, and legal firearms on the bus.
“They were useless,” he said. “We couldn’t touch them for fear police might think that we were part of the massacre and shoot us.
As I said Larry none of my business good luck.
