So Americans have the right to "bear arms"
Advertisements [?]
Cool!!!

Does this mean I can go to Russia and obtain a suitcase nuke in order to defend myself? Those are nuclear "arms" after all. What about some napalm or grenades? Where do we draw the distinction?

The 2nd Amendment only refers to the right to "bear arms." It doesn't refer to guns specifically. Anyone with a brain can see that the 2nd Amendment is outdated and archaic. No Democrat should support this ruling.

I'm disappointed in Obama. Unfortunately, Dems have to pander to the gun lobby in order to get votes and Obama is no different.

Is it any wonder why we're the only industrialized country to have thousands of gun deaths yearly?

Hooray!! More death and destruction in the only industrialized country with absurdly pathetic gun laws :eyes:

Wake the fuck up people.
