BTW, if I beat you to death with a baseball bat, should we outlaw Louisville Sluggers?
No. Because I spent the £3 and one hour a week on karate lessons and can easily dodge a bloody great stick and put you on the floor.
And if you can't spend £3 and 1 hour a week, that's your own problem.
(And yes, if you're any good you should be able to win against a baseball bat. It was invented to protect against swords, after all.)
Well if you read the constitution (havnt i been quoting the thing alot?)
quote:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Amendment II - Right to bear arms. Ratified 12/15/1791.
A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
People seem to have forgoten about that whole statment infront of the second comma. Our right to bear arms isn't for our own personal protection. It is for the protection of the nation.
Protection of the nation? On September 11th I didn't see everyone pulling out SAM launchers and shooting down those terrorists.
I mean, if America is being invaded, your fully-equipped army has been defeated, and Bush lost his nuclear button, I hardly think the pistol in your drawer is going to make a lot of difference
