Perhaps I see the Constitution differently from you because women did not have a right to vote until 1920 under the 19thA. So, yes, I see the process of adjustment provided for in the Constitution to be in the nature of "living".
I truly am finished. I am surprised at the rudeness that the...
What you fail to recognize is that this is a democratic republic and that the Constitution is a living document. You are a reactionary, sir, with no hold over the truth greater than any other. The majority of the citizens don't hold to your views. Perhaps it is you who needs to reappraise.
Hyperbole and hypocrisy. Does that really work here in Indiana? Disagree with you and I'm no longer qualified to be a citizen?
I find your comments offensive.
Ideologically, you have a firm hand on the tiller of the 2A (at least in your mind), yet you concede to authority and file 4473's on purchases and pay the state, fingerprint yourself, etc to obtain your LTCH.
I wonder how you've navigated hypocrisy to get to where you are……..
What I see is that the hard liners will have a sisyphean task convincing the majority of gun owners on this "no mandatory training" position. I wish I could say "good luck", but I don't agree with you.
I attempted to end it simply. Primarily because you all pretty much feel the same way and I don't relish a 6 on 1 or 7 on 1 discussion. Had this been at a restaurant (or bar), I'm sure we would have been able to see each other's side of the issues quite a bit better.
For your information, I...
88GT: I is a gross statistic and hasn't been sorted for nuance. Criminal behavior by owners or drivers (such as DUI which represents a very large portion of vehicular homicides in any state) isn't factored in. To me, it was a surprising number. I know that Indianapolis has around 100 or so...
I suppose we just have a different view of things. You trust your fellow man to carry a firearm but do not trust your fellow man to develop a training program that would do anyone any good. I take the opposite view.
I have friends who teach the Utah course up in Warsaw and they get very good...
One of my relatives installed a PWS compensator on my AR (stainless Wilson 16" barrel). It does reduce recoil and muzzle rise, but it is so LOUD that it isn't something that I can practice with at public ranges without drawing a lot of frowns from nearby shooters.
My relatives all have...
Even if responsibilities are left unsaid, they are there in common law and antiquity. You have a right to bear arms, but you do not have a right to use said weapon to murder your neighbor or rob a bank. Those acts are not in the constitution but are understood among the common man of the time...
If it is reliable, I'd like one. The Shield and the LC9 really aren't that appealing to me. The Kahr PM9 is my present wish list item. The Remington would fit my needs at half the price.
No. I am an advocate for training, period. And firearms are only one of many potentially fatal tools that fall under that general belief.
And in counterpoint I would think that many of the comments by the "usual suspects" serve to undermine gun rights by providing fodder for the...
It is one thing to be grumpy about the state of things. It is quite another to act on your beliefs.
Thoreau had something to say about this to Ralph Waldo Emerson.
I beginning to understand that many of you limit your civil disobedience to snarky remarks on a friendly forum.
You've done little more in 7 or 8 recent posts than criticize me. Nothing in those posts relates to the OP's topic. I'm sure you imagine yourself witty, but sniping on the net doesn't support your self image.
I find your comments boring.
Back to the original topic. The proposed Bill would require training as a pre-requisite to an LTCH. The objections seem to be overwhelming in this forum; however, you've already complied with the requirements for an LTCH, haven't you? Where was your rugged individualist objections to that...
