John P... "And even if we were to agree that it guarantees each individual the right to bear arms, it doesn't say that we don't get to make any rules about when, where, and what type of arms we can carry. "Infringed" clearly refers to the basic right, nothing more. Saying that it refers to anyone's right to go anywhere they want with any type of weapon they want is reading things into it that aren't there. "

Now yer catchin on. Except for that whole paragraph... I never said any of that. Quite the opposite.

Anyway, I hope understand why I took umbridge to your comment about not being able to read... if you didn't, no harm done. Until attitudes change on both sides, and the real issues of poverty and such are addressed, there will be violence within, by gun or knife or tooth... even under law and legislation... a battle which has not been fruitful to date.

If you wanna change it for the better, do it. Debating the text doesn't seem to be working.
