Since I can’t run and my karate sucks I carry a gun for protection against those who would do me harm.

Jordan, the right to a ‘gun’ is not necessarily God-given. What Charliegirl probably meant to say is that self-defense is God-given. In this era, that defense takes the form of the firearm.

im not sure about the statement the right to bear arms is a right given to us by God. He didnt create guns so how could he give us that right. the founding fathers gave us that right.

I thought I liked this guy when he ran for president… but I’m not so sure now…what’s his malfunction? Self defense is a God-given RIGHT, (supposedly) protected by the Constitution and codified in LAW.
Look: it’s painfully simple: protect yourself or be a victim. That’s it.
If the bad guys are using guns, you use a gun. If they are using assault weapons, you need an assault weapon.
Of course nowadays in the era of PC’ness, whoever defines terms for you controls your life…i.e.; whatever they call an “assault weapon” they will try to ban you from having one…heck…a pistol can be an assault weapon if they want to call it one.
We’ve seen an increase in crime in our town; bank robberies in broad daylight, muggings, etc. And still the libs want to cry “gun freaks”. One of the most liberal newspapers here in Arkansas obtained a list of conceal carry permit holders (presumably under FOIA) and published it on their website! I can think of a dozen reasons why this shouldn’t have happened.
But there’s one reason it might be beneficial: if a would-be felon tries to break into my house, guess what will be waiting for him/her on the other side?

“You can have all the gun control laws in the country, but if you don’t enforce them, people are going to find a way to protect themselves.”

What?!?!? Is he really saying that Gun laws are meant to prevent people from protecting themselves? I mean, I know it’s one of the ulterior motives of gun control but to come right out and say it like that wow.

As much as I dislike the dem. platform, the best thing they can do right now is come out in support of the 2nd amendment. I really don’t care what’s after their name, it’s what they do that counts.

The (R) folks need to ask themselves two questions:

Have you noticed that your opposition actually steps to the right several steps beyond your candidates in all the elections you loose?

How is that working out for you?

It appears that the Republican party is still controlled by RINO’s.

They think the only way they can win an election is to promise more goodies to the generally dumb public than the Demorats do.
