I should also thank you for giving me a much larger voice than I would otherwise have--your inclusion of Armed and Safe in your Second Amendment Roundup generates a significant amount of site traffic that I would not have otherwise.Kurt '45superman' Hofmannhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14091930034162667742noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34529754.post-59206080168200440732007-11-06T19:56:00.000-06:002007-11-06T19:56:00.000-06:0045Super,Thanks for coming over and discussing with...45Super,<BR/><BR/>Thanks for coming over and discussing with me the problems I have with Democrats.

Period.<BR/><BR/>That means firearms, knives, axes, brass knuckles, rocks or what have you. It also prohibits "infringement", meaning that the populace cannot be disarmed based on location, nation emergency status, criminal record, weapon type, interstate commerce restrictions, ammunition type, design and function, visibility or whether the arms are bought or manufactured. It also could be argued that an excise tax is an infringement if it were great enough to put a purchase outside the means of the people.<BR/><BR/>Yes, I included "criminal record". It's the job of the courts to put away criminals in an appropriate manner when they demonstrate themselves to be dangerous. It's not the responsibility of the non-violent non-criminal populace to be disarmed victims in the false hope that criminals will reform by example. And it certainly isn't the job of the federal government to make that disarmament mandatory.<BR/><BR/>The states may practice disarmament, but they have to amend their constitutions to do so. Amend, <I>not ignore</I>. With that in mind, the default position of a free man is that he retains the right unless the state legislature revokes it -- and they can't disarm-by-statue when the state's constitution has codified the right.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
