    Just because it's been in disuse doesn't make it any less a Right. While I understand what that article is alluding to with respect to the 2A, try to understand it as I understand it...
    "It is our Federal Government's responsibility to ensure that every citizen not only owns a gun but knows how to use it well."
    If they are gonna put so much effort into supporting the other Rights today, going so far as to make additional laws to that effect, why have they ignored the 2A?
    I firmly believe our gun violence problems would go away, if we taught people how to use 'em.

    You don't think China, a country capable of manufacturing almost any advanced electronic device, and is a major nuclear power, is not an "advanced" country? :crackup:

    So wait - you're going to totally ignore that we aren't war torn? :crackup:

    BTW - mental issues are the underlying reason for at least the mass shootings. The rest have been dropping so we're headed in the right direction overall. Freaky.

    Its kind of gross watching all the pundits, whether nobody or national name, sit and wait for the motive. You can almost feel each camp salivating at the possibility of the other being to blame.

    On another note, while I am aware the whole correlation/causation thing, its important to note that the rise in certain kinds of gun violence aligns pretty closely with the decrease of accessibility of mental care and the hefty increase in the availability of anti-depressant drugs.

    Killing by the state is okay?

    People are going to get killed, it'll never stop. Not really sure what your point is.

    All politics aside, if anyone is in/around Las Vegas they need blood donations in a very bad way.

    Maybe my use of the word pundits was incorrect. By that, I mean anyone who does not think in absolute lockstep with me. :D

    All jokes aside, I make a run through both side (Red State, Blaze, Fox, HuffPo, Salon, Slate) every morning and just noticed they all seem to be poised with a "got cha" moment on deck as soon as they find out. What is really gross is when I woke up to this news, it was 100% predictable how each and every person, even myself, would react......and it's getting old.

    Ah so apparently the killings by the government are not included in China's murder rate. The country China is advanced. Just because a larger portion of it's citizens have been left behind by the totalitarian regime does not mean the country is not advanced. In any case, I would prefer to keep the higher murder rate to a totalitarian regime. That isn't even a close trade off in my book.

    Don't forget the millions of baby girls that are killed/murdered just after birth to avoid the later financial burden of marriage. I forget this doesn't count. Its not violence, My bad. :rolleyes:

    You have to watch them to see that they are predictable - so again I ask....

    dude, stop being pedantic.

    I woke up to a mass shooting so I looked at a bunch of websites and made an observation. That's all.

    :D

    If your point is why would I look at that crap, my answer is I dont know. Masochism and self hate I guess.
