Wow, I'm glad you finally just came out and said it, this explains a lot.
No dude it doesnt explain alot. This will: Simply because I am Jewish, there are folks out there who would kill me just becasue of who I am. Its that simple. They post their anti semitic bull**** theories on the net with all their anti statist rhetoric and rave on and on about the government being bad, conspiracies, posses, jury nullifcation, armed rebellion, white power, blah blah blah.
Thats why I giggle so much to myself when I see postings from folks in suburbia about carrying guns in bathrooms, etc...you know what....the bulk of the carrying commandos run around carrying with no threat other than A POSSIBILITY. Me I dont carry half the time and I got folks that would be dumpin zyklon B on me in half a goergia minute if there wasnt something there to stop them...
And that the LAW....my first line of defense....as long as the law is adhered to and not perverted to meet twisted ideas of morality I have at least that line in the sand. The rest is up to me. And if I see the law getting twisted AS A MATTER OF COURSE, well then thats the next step for me isnt it.
So why do you think the 2nd amendment exists?
To protect and individual right to bear arms subject to constitutional limitations.
What if it was a death sentence to be caught carrying W/O a license like it is in some Asian countries, would you still convict?
Well dude, if the people, by way of their legislators imposed such a draconian law, and same was held constitutional, guess I would have to. Dont think that's going to occur, do you?
