The right to bear arms

[McGiver]

just to make this point clear:

i have the right to, but i do not own a firearm.
however, i would certainly like to continue the right to purchase one.  as it stands today, i have young children in my home and think it is wiser not to have one on the premisis.

Oh, but that's just what I think. Guns should be pretty easy available for law abiding adults. But if you don't need a gun and isn't very interested in shooting and additionally have kids, it's wiser not to have one. But the possibility should always be there.

right,  since guns are available, and they do in fact exist, i prefer to make that decision on my own.  especially if, i count myself as a free person.  free to make choices on how i can best pursue life, libberty and the pursuit of happiness.
with that, i reckon that the right to feel safe in my own home (or wherever) is a must.

Id feel a lot safer if i had weapons of mass destruction. Damn government better not interfere.

I'd feel safer if I had some anthrax.

[Litigious]

Me too. What a coincidence. 

[odeon]

I'd like it in a sealed envelope. You too?

[Litigious]

Anytime. 

[McGiver]

look at odeon and eamonn, boy do they make strange bedfellows.

[odeon]

I'd kill them softly while he used brute force.

You're telling me that a 92-yo that shoots first and asks questions later is of sound mind and body?

She was afraid. She didn't have to be senile. But I agree there's something wrong when a 92 year old has to be that scared in her own home.

i bet she would have been even more afraid if she didn't have her gun as piece of mind.

She'd still be alive though.

is a person really alive when they do not have peace of mind?  when they lose their freedoms?

Not at all, but my previous post was a joke, an attempt to see the dark humour in the situation.

I dont think so. We are doomed and dead in this cowardly Europe, and, unfortunately, people are in some US states too. I hope that at least the whole US won't lose the battle.

life is cyclical litigious. 
as far as freedoms go on the pendulum of life we are not seeing them very clearly lately, and i suspect that we will lose many more, before people have the balls enough to say wtf.  and a revolution happens and anarchy prevails.

i am not a fan of order, if you haven't been able to guess.  but only order, when it is a written law that tells me to act with common sense.
