  • Guns & Drugs

    Re S. divinorum. First, to reiterate what a lot of posts have said: Salvia is not like marijuana at all. It's a shamanistic drug, not a party drug. If someone were not prepared for it, they could be terrified (I had an out-of-body experience on it, which I found fascinating but not exactly pleasant). Like any drug, it isn't idiot-proof. I ...

  • Sorry Democrats? Come Now!

    “Sorry Democratsby” ProudInfidel “04/30/2008, 2:25 PM # But your attempts to use illegal aliens and voter fraud to achieve everlasting power in a one party system akin to nazi Germany or communist Russia has been dealt a serious blow. I bet you really hate the Supreme court now.” My Response I find it ironic that the guilty often try to ...

  • Re: Woman Bites Dog Who Attacked Her Dog

    TexasPete: Guns are just an easy way out for those who are determined to committ suicide. Umm, yeah, that's kind of the point. Unless you are in favor of assisted suicide on demand, in which case there are much less messy alternatives.

  • Miller, the NRA and academics

    The Supreme court Miller ruling only stated that the 2nd. concerned military type weapons. It really did not address individual vs. collective rights. The court actually stated that shotguns have never been a military weapon so the 2nd. does not protect them. Shotties were extensively used in the War Between the States (primarily by the South) and ...

  • Re: What is the big deal? Really.

    England. ENGLAND. Not the U.K. I do not know about the U.K, but I am willing to take your word for it.

  • Re: What is the big deal? Really.

    I just had to comment on England’s gun law. While it is true that they still have violent crime it is not safe to say that they have the same level of violent crime. America is a battlefield compared to England. The better point made is that England’s law is old and established. Where as a similar law passed in the U.S. would be counter to ...

  • Re: What is the big deal? Really.

    Good points. I especially liked the Prohibition argument. We are a resourceful and wealthy nation. It would be relatively easy for the average American to make it worth the while of someone beyond our borders to provide guns. Also, tools like the Internet have only expanded the range of that power. Supply and demand, and with this being tied ...

  • Re: What is the big deal? Really.

    Let me start by saying that I am not informed on this issue. I do not have a side yet, so I appreciate your input as it is helping me to make a more informed decision. So, thank you. As a martial artist, I understand the argument that a rifle or shotgun is easy to grab. In a close quarters situation a longer firearm is a disadvantage. That ...

  • Lithwick is late to the party

    The construction of the 2A, though awkward, has been thoroughly hashed over by legal academics for decades, and as admitted by everyone but the diehard intentionally blind far statists, its an individual right. Let's hope the SCOTUS opinion at least puts that to rest, so reporters like Lithwick can quit misconstruing it. Since DC is directly ...
