61. *sigh* Everything you cite here is just more philosophy.

Some of it very good and inspiring but just philosophy based on nothing but somebody's deep thoughts. It has all the validity of any other superstition like the one that has a guy die, lay dead for three days, get up and meet with his old buddies and then fly away to become an imaginary friend in the sky.

Believe what you want, I can't change that but know that if the government wants to ban a kind of gun they can and will. Natural law is no match for duly passed criminal and civil law.

I'm not going to change your mind and you damn sure aren't going to change mine. Now have the last word, declare victory and go away.

Ah yes, the slippery slope. Straw Man Sep 2016 #32

As for ignition systems, the firelock was a significant improvement over the matchlock, Marengo Sep 2016 #33

Thank you. We agree on something. That's a start. benEzra Sep 2016 #35

You are beginning to sound batshit crazy. flamin lib Sep 2016 #36

flamin lib advocates voting away citizen's right to keep and bear arms GreydeeThos Sep 2016 #37

I thought the other guy was a bit off. Now I get you. flamin lib Sep 2016 #38

The Second Amendment to the Constitution does not grant a right GreydeeThos Sep 2016 #39

In that case please stop citing the second amendment and the bill of rights. flamin lib Sep 2016 #41

The Right to Keep and Bear Arms is a natural right GreydeeThos Sep 2016 #48

Okay. Natural law (or rights) stems from a philosophical tradition and is based on nothing flamin lib Sep 2016 #49

flamin lib makes up their own definition of "natural right" GreydeeThos Sep 2016 #50

Should one decide unilaterally that it's a good idea to ban most or all semi-auto arms... discntnt_irny_srcsm Sep 2016 #51

"Okay. Natural law (or rights) stems from a philosophical tradition and is based on nothing" beergood Oct 2016 #56

Most Western nations DON'T ban detachable-magazine semiautos... benEzra Sep 2016 #42

That you consider rifle ownership to be comparable to human trafficking and child porn... benEzra Sep 2016 #44

Excuse me but I seem to have missed something. flamin lib Sep 2016 #45

Yes, you have. Straw Man Sep 2016 #47

You have been advocating banning people's rifles all up and down this thread, benEzra Sep 2016 #55

Ya' left out the semi auto pistols. flamin lib Oct 2016 #57

I'm sure you would. And undoubtedly revolvers, and "riot guns", and "sniper rifles"... benEzra Oct 2016 #63
