Hard to do, if we allow politicians to interpret the 2nd amendment to mean we are allowed sporting rifles, and handguns for defense against street thugs only.[b said:Quote[/b] (schloaty @ June 24 2005,9:21)]I wonder when the rable will arm themselves to make a statement against this sort of nonsense.

What part of "public use" do the SC justices not understand?

I didn't vote for any of those people, but it doesn't seem to matter, he still found a way to get elected. I say impeach him.
When I was a kid, I was told that any U.S. citizen (except felons) can be president. That was then. Now you have to have real deep pockets or you don't stand a chance.
I can go on and on and on............
