pharmaceutical companies can drug We the People with dangerous and deadly
drugs. Children are victims by lawmakers and drug companies, as all of society
is at Risk!
I wonder if you could tell me your views about the following;
* Since you probably agree that there should be at least SOME controls on the availability and use of weapons (e.g. flamethrowers and biological weapons shouldn't be freely sold to children or the mentally disturbed) - can I assume that you also agree that the 2nd amendment is open to some negotiation?
* Would you consider the "crisis reaction" to the Three Mile Island radioactive leak (stricter requirements in the manufacturing, operating and maintenance of nuclear plants) or the Deepwater Horizon oil spill (a six-month offshore drilling moratorium pending safety checks), examples of unnecessary restrictions of liberty that over-encroached on people's freedom?
* Do you consider ANY government intervention on people's behaviour (especially that designed to prevent serious harm or death) to be attack on their freedom and liberty and therefore worthy of preventing? I'm thinking here of seat belt laws and laws against the use of drugs.
btw. Do you have a reliable source (not some conspiracy nut-case blog) that supports your assertion that Robert Holmes was about to testify before a Senate panel?
"can I assume that you also agree that the 2nd amendment is open to some negotiation?"
You can take to the bank that my right of self protection is not up for negotiation, nor shall it be abridged. That the premise (padding) of your argument is specious to the extreme, did not go unnoticed.
TMI and DWH have nothing to do with my right to defend myself, my Family, my property nor my Country. In fact, if there were less controls, drilling would be done today in shallower waters and on land, and we would not have the "Energy Department" pushing nukes on us in the first place.
My safety is not the concern of the "government", except in extremely constricted instances as enumerated in the Constitution
I understand that I'm putting forward an extreme example but then, that is what you are required to defend against if you take an extreme stance (No negotiation, no conditions, not now, not ever.)
Look, I understand your position re personal defence, I really do and to some extent I'm sympathetic to it. It's just that I have never had explained to me why someone needs an assault rifle to defend themselves. Or why some states do not require a criminal history check, or a mental history check, or a certificate of firearms handling training, or a cooling-off period before a purchased weapon is allowed to be owned.
All these seem like fairly sensible restrictions to me that would not impinge on a person's ability to defend themselves, or on their constitutional rights.
I see these types of controls as being beneficial to society as a whole without restricting personal freedoms unduly. And attaining that balance is part of a government's role surely? It is done in respect of DUI laws, speeding laws, slander/libel laws and people generally accept the controls over an individual's actions in order to benefit everyone.
Never saw FLIR footage of Waco, then.
Your "government" has proven itself incompetent to control itself, let alone manage or control my life, even benignly. Your "government" is force, nothing more, and increasingly that force is used criminally.
It sanctions the drugs used by each and every individual who commits atrocities like the latest school slaughter we are discussing, drugs that are responsible for the very psychotic episodes they purport to "treat"... yet you are willing to take away the last line of defense for every man, woman and child, just to make you "feel" safe.
Incredible.
Bringing up DUI and slander to buttress your case is at best fallacious.
I say again; There will be no compromise.
I was actually willing to listen to your reasoning until you introduced a bunch of apocalypse-spouting child abusers to support it.
I neither argue, nor do I attempt to reason any longer with those who will willingly give up their freedom for a false "security". I now state simple fact, and a little advice;
Leave free men and women alone.
Makes perfect sense!
Then we won't have anymore senseless acts of violence like 20 kids being killed in CT, since criminals are not into mass killing sprees, but are more likely to kill over money, drugs, or get jealous over the occasional woman.
So essentially, we'd all be safer!
