Why the fervor over the 2nd ammendment but not the 1st?

Because that is what it smells like.

 

I was not speaking of any one particularly web site but overall reactopm across the spectrum, laddie.

 

multiple people in this thread have replied that it is a problem that people can not buy the same weapons that the military can. So If I am misinformed, I'm not alone on this site.

 

Hate to admit it, but I keep checking back to see what is new, the whole da** choir got on their soap box, me included. I find it worth while to sit back and justify why I believe some things that aren't 100 & accepted today. Thank you to the mods for keeping it from flaming, but allowing a few of us to stop and think about the 2 nd and not just a knee jerk reaction. Yep, I think Chello is necessary too, like the devil's advocate when the church makes a new saint. It is a mighty tough job keeping the true believers honest.

 

But why would anybody need a crew served weapon like a M2 machine gun?

 

Fun, just like a BAR or a Thompson.

 

This is all posturing. I don't mind answering these questions, but if doing so changes what you are or are not willing to say about your own actions, then you know nothing about the internet (I on the other hand have been using it before it was the internet). Nor was I asking you "exactly", I specifically said "in general".
1. no (you don't get drafted with uncorrectable bad vision)
2. computers (which happily for me I discovered in the early 70s and have had a pretty wild run in the industry over the years)
3. a city
4. not any more (it was stolen)
5 it was my grandfather's (a 1940's S&W 22 revolver in pristine condition). I don't count the cap lock muzzle loaders I also got from him as they don't count as useful firearms today.
6 likely run and call 911. even when I had the 22 I am more likely to be walking around with my cell phone than the gun so if confronted the gun wouldn't do me any good anyway as it wouldn't be in my hand.
7. alone.

but again if you are not comfortable answering my questions no matter what the "real" answers are to these questions I would suggest you never answer as you never know who you are talking to on the internet.

 

I was not attempting to be disruptive. If that was the result, I apologize.

 

For me it is the BS baiting and condescending sukkupness.
Ad to the fact when a poster changes a portion of their post just to see who else they can suck in just to keep their incorrect statement in front of the folks. Bait and switch is a kids head game.
FWIW. It is easy to spot those phonies, I say phonies because they are not here to debate or converse they are here to read their poorly placed text in place for as long as they can because it make them feel superior.

Just call it a keyboard freaks way of getting their rocks off.

To confirm what my gut says, I simply copy and paste what should be duplicate post by any troll like newbie.

Then you can see how the "almost" duplicate text was changed to appear the troll simply changed a couple of pieces of text to make it seem that what you typed or what they typed was enough to change the meaning of what they are auguring for.

And yes they are only looking to argue.

Sickies one and all muck up a good debate with words like "I think" as if it really means anything about what they think

Rains coming so it'll e good sleeping tonight.

 

Right unfocused is a good term.
