catholicinsd Posted January 30, 2008 Share Posted January 30, 2008 So I got a phone call from the NRA asking about the Supreme Court Case regarding a gun ban in DC. Then I told the woman what I thought, she started to jiggle at me. I asked her why, she said she wasn't laughing at me but the idea. She also told me it was a yes/no question and I should just answer it. My response was "I think guns should be banned from crazy people like you." Your thoughts?

goldenchild17 Posted January 31, 2008 Share Posted January 31, 2008 My first thought is... what does a jiggle look like over the phone? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Socrates Posted January 31, 2008 Share Posted January 31, 2008 The Second Amendment to the Constitution of the United States of America: A well-regulated militia being necessary to the security of a free state, [b]the right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed[/b]." The facts: since D.C.'s strict handgun ban in 1976, murder rates have gone up, not down. Gun control does nothing to reduce murder and other violent crime. And that's nothing to jiggle at.

There was a quote from the character played by David Warner: "We forbade them weapons; they made their own". People will find other weapons to use. Prime example: do a Google search on Roy Trumblay. In 1999, he was murdered in Chicago (which has a handgun ban as well) by being bludgeoned with a table leg across the street from a police station. Second, just how do you propose to "remove all the guns"? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the U.S. Constitution, "the people" [i]always[/i] refers to the citizens of the United States. "Arms" means weapons, including guns. Couldn't be more clear.

Also, have you ever fired a weapon (like at a range)? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
