more guns=freedom? Come on!Joe West said:Keeping my fingers crossed... if the US Supreme court comes out with some wishy-washy ruling that "sort of" supports second ammendment rights, we're in for a real fight when/if the anti-freedom folks take over our government in November

Are you sure you mean constipational? If you want to use methane to defend yourself go for it...Jeff Vader said:You know. I am so happy to live in a country where I have the constipational right to bare arms.

With todays crime and the cost of my bike, I think I am going down to the K-Mart tomorrow and buying a shotgun to carry with me. Anybody have any recommendations on the one I should buy. I've never owned a gun and don't know much about them. Any ultra light shotguns available?

There are 59 nations for which data about per capita gun ownership are available. This Working Paper examines the relationship between gun density and several measures of freedom and prosperity: the Freedom House ratings of political rights and civil liberty, the Transparency International Perceived Corruption Index, the World Bank Purchasing Power Parity ratings, and the Heritage Foundation Index of Economic Freedom. The data suggest that the relationships between gun ownership rates and these other measures are complex. The data show that (although exceptions can be found) the nations with the highest rates of gun ownerhsip tend to have greater political and civil freedom, greater economic freedom and prosperity, and much less corruption than other nations. The relationship only exists in for high-ownership countries. Countries with medium rates of gun density generally scored no better or worse than countries with the lowest levels of gun rates.
Typical...mitosis said:I haven't read who wrote the report but i suspect he had sympathy for the usa. When it comes to corruption the usa wrote the book and the citizens of the us only think they have freedom because that is the propaganda they are fed. Can you really think the us is free when a significant number of the population feel the need to carry a gun?

Jeff Vader said:Can anybody show me one case where Scalia found that the constitution actually granted a civil right? What a great man to realize that the only right the framers wanted us citizens to have is the right to carry a gun. Yes. Scalia is a genius whose decisions are not in any way tainted by his own political beliefs.
Has anybody here ever read the text of the second amendment? What the heck does the "well regulated militia" part mean. Does that mean the state governments get to control the militia and can regulate guns? No way. It must mean, as Scalia says, that the private militia in this great country are supposed to be "well trained." Just like the Michigan Militia. He is a genius. I would never have equated "well regulated" with "well trained." Thank god we have smart thinkers like him.
Can't wait till he cracks down on those married homos in California.
