conorthebarbarian: cyrodiil-burns: rbdreams: squatch-politics: rbdreams: liberalsarecool: Even the NRA only has ‘rifle’ in its name, no mention of handguns or automatic weapons. Context has been totally distorted by today’s second amendment supporters. Gun/ammo fetish is the underlying impulse for gun ownership, not safety or hunting. What else indeed. Gun nuts like to ignore the part about “a well-regulated…” A well regulated militia. http://youtu.be/Hx23c84obwQ I call BULLSHIT on Penn Jillette. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YG6OXY7g3cs Every day one of you cartoon avatar goons thinks they invented the light bulb calling out the “well regulated” phrase and entirely misinterpreting it. In the parlance of the time, “well regulated” meant “in good working order”. http://www.constitution.org/cons/wellregu.htm 1714: “The practice of all well-regulated courts of justice in the world.” 1812: “The equation of time … is the adjustment of the difference of time as shown by a well-regulated clock and a true sun dial.” 1848: “A remissness for which I am sure every well-regulated person will blame the Mayor.” 1862: “It appeared to her well-regulated mind, like a clandestine proceeding.” 1894: “The newspaper, a never wanting adjunct to every well-regulated American embryo city.” @liberalsarecoolIs is difficult to type with your head that far up your ass?“Arms” as in “weapons.” Constitutional rights don’t change simply because technology does. If that were true then you could be legally prohibited from your shit blog because the 1st amendment says “press” and not “website.”The English language. You should learn to read it some time. -- source link
