$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('J-Rod', 'C')alm down there, Speccy. Believe it or not, I consider myself a liberal, but one that has full support of the second. Everyone should have the right to bear arms, there's no grey interpretation of that. The founding fathers wanted people to be able to enforce their will on a government that one day might no longer serve the people. Painting anyone with a broad brush of a party, be it red or blue is part of the problem in this country. Most people have values that go across the spectrum, but when it comes time to vote you have to choose. Kind of a sad system really, it would be nicer if there just weren't parties at all, just people that stand on a platform defined by themselves, and not a party.
Your right, but historically its Democrats who ban guns. Look at the Federal gun bans, and look at states considered to be liberal...ie....Illinois (Chicago really), Kalifornia, New York, New Jersey.........
While I generally dont like broad brushes (And have said as much in the past) in this case the shoe fits. Democrats do NOT want gun in the hands of people.
Which completely baffles me. Dont the fucking Dems realize that a populations ONLY real protection from overbearing governments are firearms?! And then to add in this "Unconstitutional" stuff on top of it....
It really chaps my a**.
