That's right, he did. Or do you think he meant the people should fight bazookas with single shot muzzleloaders?kalm wrote:I want a bazooka. Thomas Jefferson told me I could have one.
You're my favorite smug prick!Chizzang wrote:kalm wrote:I want a bazooka. Thomas Jefferson told me I could have one.
You know... Mr. High Plains Drifter
If you are nice I'll tell you the next time I'm in Spokane
Serious question: If they had to re-write today, do you think it would be exactly the same?89Hen wrote:That's right, he did. Or do you think he meant the people should fight bazookas with single shot muzzleloaders?kalm wrote:I want a bazooka. Thomas Jefferson told me I could have one.
I admit that's a good argument.ALPHAGRIZ1 wrote:Technology is technology......our founding fathers wanted us to have whatever the government has to retain our liberty.

I don't think anything written 200+ years ago would be written exactly the same today. But that's a non-starter.kalm wrote:Serious question: If they had to re-write today, do you think it would be exactly the same?89Hen wrote: That's right, he did.

Do you think the founders didn't believe the world would change?89Hen wrote:I don't think anything written 200+ years ago would be written exactly the same today. But that's a non-starter.kalm wrote:

I'm really not sure what you're getting at here. I would say they did as "Arms" to me leaves it open ended to mean whatever is the weapon of the day.kalm wrote:Do you think the founders didn't believe the world would change?89Hen wrote: I don't think anything written 200+ years ago would be written exactly the same today.

Yes, I'm sure 89 thinks the founders thought the world would never change and be exactly like what it was in 1787.kalm wrote:Do you think the founders didn't believe the world would change?89Hen wrote: I don't think anything written 200+ years ago would be written exactly the same today.

You're always calling me radical... but, even the most conservative judges believe the Second Amendment is limited - that weapons that are "most useful in military service" may be banned (Scalia in Heller).89Hen wrote:+1ALPHAGRIZ1 wrote:Technology is technology......our founding fathers wanted us to have whatever the government has to retain our liberty.
Is that so novel? I mean, the 1st Amendment isn't unlimited (Schenk).Skjellyfetti wrote:You're always calling me radical... but, even the most conservative judges believe the Second Amendment is limited - that weapons that are "most useful in military service" may be banned (Scalia in Heller).89Hen wrote: +1
I think everyone has positions that are further left or right than they are. I voted for gay marriage in my state, does that mean I'm actually left of center?Skjellyfetti wrote:No. It's not novel at all. That's my point.
89 thinks that citizens should be able to have "whatever the government has." That's a pretty radical position for someone that thinks he's just a bit right of center.
I don't think the leaders of today could come together enough to write anything like the original?kalm wrote:Serious question: If they had to re-write today, do you think it would be exactly the same?89Hen wrote: That's right, he did.

I don't own guns, never have, probably never will. But that doesn't mean I don't think anyone shouldn't. There is no point to the 2nd Amendment if you are only allowed to be armed with a pea shooter while the state is armed with bazookas.
So ricin and mustard gas should be legal?89Hen wrote:I think everyone has positions that are further left or right than they are. I voted for gay marriage in my state, does that mean I'm actually left of center?Skjellyfetti wrote:No. It's not novel at all. That's my point.

Agreed. But FYI, the state isn't armed with bazookas. Hasn't been since early Nam..Carry on..89Hen wrote:I think everyone has positions that are further left or right than they are.

Pretty sure our military doesn't have/use that, so yeah.kalm wrote:So ricin and mustard gas should be legal?89Hen wrote: I think everyone has positions that are further left or right than they are. I voted for gay marriage in my state, does that mean I'm actually left of center?
