BigRedBuster Posted February 24, 2018 Share Posted February 24, 2018 Like I’ve said. The gun industry had better start being part of the solution or it will be done for them and they won’t like the outcome. 1 Link to comment

Being so familiar with the intimate thoughts of the founders, you should know that they understood things were going to change, and revisions to their original plan might need to be made . Life today barely resembles life back then, and the laws of the land shouldn’t either . Of course they knew things would change. But they recognized that the nature of power is that it corrupts and that any government, no matter well formed and intentioned, could become tyrannical. So they included core protections to ensure individual right against the possibility of governmental abuse. If you think things have changed that much, try to repeal the Second Amendment.

Planned parenthood is based largely off scientific facts, and statistical data . Those are actually good things to “indoctrinate” kids with . Planned Parenthood is based on eugenics and abortion for profit. Anything that drives more pregnancies that they can then work to terminate is in their financial interest. Link to comment

Also, no one is trying to repeal the second amendment but the interperetation was greatly streched within the last century and that is a fact Edited February 24, 2018 by Nebfanatic 2 Link to comment

I don't want the Second Amendment repealed, nor does anyone i know. Adding to, or changing some of the gun laws already in place doesn't require a constitutional amendment, and i think its definitely an option worth looking at. Link to comment

It’s amazing to me how little some know about American history. But yet a peaceful protest towards that same government is viewed as despicable. 1 Link to comment

You've made some cogent points on this thread, and forced some other posters to rethink and redefine their positions. This forum could use a little more push from the right. But this is one of those "true colors" posts. Ugly and inaccurate and yet clearly indicative of the mindset: a brave warrior for the truth who will swallow any bulls#!t conspiracy theory to thwart his liberal adversary. And then run away like a coward. This is why there aren't more people like you on this forum. Speaking of the truth, please let me know the college where you are teaching. We need to protect our children. 7 Link to comment

We need to protect our children. Who is running? Read about Margaret Sanger and her involvement in eugenics. Why do you think Planned Parenthood clinics are overwhelmingly in minority communities? Why do you think they do almost no adoption referrals? Because 1) They make millions of dollars from abortions and 2) At their core, they want to call what they see as undesirables. The rest of us call them minorities. Link to comment
