Good points OldSavage.
The fact that Diane Feinstein has been voted in for I dunno 300 years (she was in when I lived in CA - 90's and early 00's) tells people that her agenda has been well accepted by the residents of her constituency. Same with Biden - he's officially older than dirt isn't he. And wasn't he one of the guys that built the white house ?

I dunno who as parents tells their kids that guns are not toys, when you have toy guns everyone buys for their kids. I think parents have really failed the kids - which may be the ultimate proof in the sandyhook killing - he killed his gun packing mom first.

Cool.

The only thing that really proves is that most of her consitiuents are idiots. And since she is a Senator, her district consists of the whole state of CA. Since I live in NY I understand what it's like to live somewhere where the folks that actually have clue are in the minority when it comes to influencing policy by voting.

The reason this country's government was designed as a constitutional republic and not as a pure democracy, was to protect the rights of political minorities. Same reason that political power is supposed to be divided between the three branches of government.

Stupid laws imposed by a majority are still stupid. Tyranny imposed by democtatic means is still tyranny.

Wow. You really don't get do you? Changing the constitution is the last thing I want to do. I want our elected represenatives to actually follow it. That's what they swear to do when thay take their oath of office and what I swore to do when I served in this countries armed forces.  The people I mentioned in my previous post Fienstein, Schumer etc. are the ones who want to change - or at least reinterpet it. They consider it an impediment to enacting their policies.

Our constitution has been used and abused by the rest of the world.

Anchor babies - direct result of the 17th amendment. They are using our constitution as the toilet paper that will give them a full on legal hold and then bury us in expenses supporting them.

The school shootings - result of the 2nd amendment.
Worse yet, we have an ongoing military with a full blown arms program that have effectively gutted the possibility of having a mutiny against tyranny. The second has been gutted from both sides.

Many more.

Cool.

School shootings are a result of the 2nd amendment being ABUSED.
Had they not been Gun Free zones, they wouldnt have been a Free for all firing range,

We've gone over this a 1000 times.

It's not the guns that are the problem, it's the people with the guns that are the issue.  If more attention was paid to those that have went on those shooting sprees and addressed the problems with them long before it got to that point then the shootings would never have happened.



OK lets try this one more time ... if you didn't have guns at all, but the rest of society was the same, we'd still have these nuts kill people ... yes, they'd need to use knives or baseball bats or ping pongs. OK So lets try the most lethal ... knife - It takes 10-30 sec to kill someone via knife. Someone else may hit them with a baseball bat and end it before there is a 30 body pile up. I'd say a 3 body pile before everyone gets out of his reach. Maybe another 2 before he's clobbered with a pipe.

Nothing but a gun can put a 30 body pile before we get to hit him with a baseball bat.

So since I cant remove all the guns from society, I proposed the $100 in cash per bullet tax. Why ? there is so much bullets out there, no one will lock em up. That makes the guns and bullets a huge liability. With a $100 bullet tax payable by cash only we get all the bullets locked up, cos now they have 300,000 worth of bullets. Lock em up.

No one said the crazy crack heads are not the problem. Guns make the bodies pile up faster before they are stopped.
