Thread Name: BS: Anyone defend US gun law?
Subject: RE: BS: Anyone defend US gun law?
How many times do I have to repeat it, MGM, the founding legislation the Amendment was based on excludes ammunition, and so you are word-twisting! A bullet on its own cannot hurt anyone. A bullet is NOT a firearm, you cannot kill someone just by carrying a bullet around. You need to have a gun, ammunition and an idiot to come together to make these things happen. Keep them apart and the problem disappears. I don't give a flying fuck what the idiots of the NRA, which evidently include you, surmise what your nonsense Law says, you have a biased agenda. Law has to deal with real people, and people change. What was suitable while there were Sioux taking scalps is no longer necessary once the problem's resolved.
But no, it doesn't suit you to speak plain English and to apply English to the Law, does it? Sure, you need ammunition to make your firearm fire, but the Amendment doesn't provide for firing it, all it provides for is the right to carry a weapon around like an umbrella. Why not extend the logic further and say the right logically allows you to shoot anyone you like? After all, if you can't shoot someone, there's no point in carying it around, is there? Oh yes, the little question of premeditation in murder conspiracy. Loading your weapon is usually considered sufficient proof of intent, as the most an unloaded weapon can be is a menace or club.
