Stood up in front of a firing squad for treason and crimes against yhe American people?

I believe that if we could tolerate the Sandy Hook incident we could tolerate anything. I think if a group of gunman entered into an elementary school and killed everyone I still don't think it would change our gun laws.

@irascible there is an echo in here. I posted my comment before I read you post or wordywaits

I cannot agree more but, I am Canadian and you are in the minority.

every individual is in the minority. im English so I don't get a say about it that will make any difference.

Living in Canada I know 2 Americans that have been shot and no Canadians that have been. I know 2 other Americans who have lost family to gun violence and no Canadians that have. The thing is I really don't know that many Americans.

I couldn’t have said it better myself. Your one of the few in this group who has any sense when it comes to guns.

I approved your post, even though I find it wrong and disgusting. I'm not willing to sacrifice children's lives for any cause. That being said gun control is not a legal or legitimate answer to the problem of mental illness or extreme disenfranchisement.

It's not about mental illness. It's about people killing mass amounts of other people because anyone can buy any kind of gun.

@jayneonacobb mental illness kills people, but not at the expense of physical injury to others. Factual illness makes someone suffer to the point that the only one who is harmed is onesself.

You can't blame mental illness for this, because this kid was brainwashed and mentally Unstable. Someone formed that mind. Mental illness is suffering.

@DaniMa he killed small animals cruelly for fun. That's a sign of a sociopathic serial killer. Sociopaths are mentally ill. Brainwashed? By whom? What evidence do you have to support that claim.

@jayneonacobb literally a white supremacist group came out and said they trained the kid. Mentally ill and mentally unstable are two different things, so stop making my community a scapegoat for vicious crimes. And suddenly you're a psychiatrist as well, because in no reports have I read that he was diagnosed with sociopathy.

@DaniMa "because in no reports have I read that he was diagnosed with sociopathy." Because of HIPAA.

@Potsandpans well, he's claiming insanity in his screenings, so mentally ill people will once again be put on the block. He was mentally UNstable, not mentally ill. Because if he were ill at least we'd have a diagnosis.

@DaniMa I really don't know what to call it and what the differences are. Susan Smith, Andrea Yates and many others used water to kill children. Many offspring have killed their parents. Were they only unstable? I really don't know, but I do know that anyone who, unless it's self defense, kills anyone else isn't what I call normal or stable, especially a loved one.

Let's break down those terms. Militia means an armed citizenry. Well regulated means governed as little as possible to continue working. As in a well oiled machine runs better than an under or over oiled machine. Arms means all weapons and armaments. Shall not be infringed refers to the inalinable and unabridgable nature of the rights of American citizens.

@jayneonacobb So, lets break this down a little further. We already have a militia. It's called "the National Guard" and any yahoo who wants to play with guns on the weekends can join. Also, "the purpose of the Second Amendment was to prevent the new Federal Government established in 1789 from disarming the state militias and replacing them with a Federal standing army. It was a concern that was relevant perhaps for a few years around the birth of the country. It is irrelevant today. Americans do not rely on state militias in 2012 for our freedom from the federal government." - copied from a Huff Post piece - 2012

@AtheistLatina55 the national guard is not a militia, my E-6 friend will attest to that. They are an auxiliary force scantioned and encompassed by the US army. He is not a full fledged citizen because of it. One of my roommates was in the air reserves as an E-5. He's out and working in the private sector as an airplane mechanic. He still doesn't have the right to sue the government for damages he suffered while in the military. That means he is also not a full citizen because his right to sue the government has been perminantly revoked.

The definition of a militia is an armed citizenry. Those soldiers, good friends of mine, will never again have full fledged citizen because of their service to you and your rights. They are eligible for a militia, but prior service is not required. Technically, by old laws that still exist every person eligeable for the draft or voluntary service is a member of the militia. Thusly granting them, the people, access to arms. Arms means all weapons and armaments.

The founding fathers knew weapons technology would advance. They heard of mythical weapons of immense power from religion and other fiction. They could easily comprehend wielding the power of 1000 Sun's.

The bill of rights was established expressly to limit government. You can not remove an amendment unless it conflicts with a pre-existing one. As was the case with the 21st and 18TH amendments.

The bill of rights aknowldeges certain human rights. It does not grant them. A right is an inalienable and unabridgable need of a person.

The huff post is heavily biased.

@irascible I blocked him a few days ago for other similar illogical or uninformed positions on other topics. SOmehow he was still able to PM mel He feels his rights of free speech are being violated

@irascible @btroje @AtheitLatina55 There is a direct link between the 2nd amendment and the preservation of slave hunter gangs in the south. One of the dirty little secrets about the origin of the US.
