Dang, Jackie: Who better to educate us on this than... you?Ninety-seven percent of us are being held hostage by a misinterpretation of the Constitution, pushed by the 3 percent who want lots of guns... [More]
Your (and your source) are neglecting the hundreds of millions of guns even your figures admit are owned by the rest of the populace, (44%, up 7% in last two years with 5% refusing to admit anything), and you've purposely ignored Hamilton's Federalist No. 29 contention that:
Little more can reasonably be aimed at, with respect to the people at large, than to have them properly armed and equipped…By the way, that Harvard School of Public Health behind the new "survey" -- remember Assistant Dean Deborah Prothrow-Stith, who wrote:
My own view on gun control is simple. I hate guns and I cannot imagine why anyone would want to own one. If I had my way, guns for sport would be registered, and all other guns would be banned.Good think nobody's talking about taking away our guns!
But even so, even if we conceded that only Three Percent of gun owners are serious about it, you've gotta ask yourself one question:

ReplyDeleteIt is the most closely-guarded secret in all of American history that the 2nd amendment was meant only as a means to enable states to maintain their own armies. Over the centuries, those opposed to this idea have methodically tracked down and destroyed any and all documents surviving from the founding era that might have suggested otherwise. That, and that alone, is why there is today not a single scrap of documentary evidence supporting the entirely reasonable view that the right of the people to keep and bear arms in fact means something entirely different than what a plain reading of the text suggests.
Dan Brown's bestselling "The DaVinci Code", in fact, was originally going to expose this vast conspiracy, but sinister forces within the publishing industry conspired to change Brown's blockbuster story to something less controversial. They're everywhere. We're doomed.
Conspire much, punkin?
