is inseparable from protecting your own right.
A dilemma arises for gun rubbers and they pretend the dilemma belongs to the opposite party.
There is no question whether a man with ten muzzle loaders can do as much harm as
a man with an assault rifle.
That is the second amendment problem, without pretense, sin cere.
It is expedient for the gun runner to be wholly abstract in am ii's interpretation.
It is also legitimate and a good standard. It gives a constitution some of the power of eternal truth.
The pretense of such expeditious persons is that the abstract trumps the concrete in our judgements.
That practice is not sustainable.
We must always amend our guess at the abstract to our interpretation of the concrete.
Every artifice is antiquated in a hundred years or so.
Repeated mass murder is an outrage.
Inaction with malice rationalized by authority will produce an opposite reaction,
profound action without regard to calls for rationality.
Therefore, you gun rubbers get together (do you not?) and come up with a standard
for self protection or tertiary sex characteristics that is acceptable to most other people,
in part defined as less than the most excellent tool for mass murder,
or we gun grabbers are going to give you the freedom to choose flint or percussion cap.

(14,180 posts)first and second paragraphs\stanzas and is juxtaposed against 'gun grabbers'.
Neither a grabber nor a rubber be, I guess.

(53,661 posts)Been hard to determine what's going on in threads. Some are being sarcastic, some are very frank, others are all over the place. I'll check back with this tomorrow, it's very late for me.

(36,974 posts)There are so many of these mass murderers and serial killers that it's hard to remember, at times, all of their names.
Thanks

(90,762 posts)The tertiary sex characteristics part was a stumper though.
Now, about gun rubbers? Robbers? Or "rubbers" in the worshipping/fapping sense?

(979 posts)last week, my right to a weapon and james holmes' right to a weapon were the same right
the problem of the rights of good people vs limits on bad action does not come from gun control advocates
the problem is that modern weapons antiquate the 2nd amendment
every banned weapon is exemplary of that
a 2nd amendment absolutist will argue in the abstract and hypothetical
in the real world, mad people often run amok
death at the twitch of a finger is too much power to give anyone who would use it selfishly
or carelessly
it is unfortunate that includes most of us not duty bound to carry
repeated mass murder is an outrage. outrage will grow
ostensibly reasonable inertia in the face of outrage will get an opposite reaction
please decide on a standard kill toy that does not kill the fuck out of crowds of people
and do not allow possession of anything else, even if that standard must be the .22 derringer
or else

(1,438 posts)Although rifle covers were later available to protect the rifles from sand, salt water, etc.,troops did not normally use them when they foresaw the need to be ready to engage an enemy immediately. A more common measure was the use of a condom stretched over the muzzle to protect the bore. If necessary, a bullet could be fired through the condom, so the rifle remained ready for action.
