The Japanese Worship Katana's

Not Bows and Arrows.

But you have to get close to use your Katana.

Before you do, I will have felled you with a single ya from my Yumi!

In 1998 California passed an assault weapons ban that allowed current gun owners to register their weapons in order to keep them. The next year they confiscated many of the weapons they had said would be allowed if registered. You can paint it any way you want, but the fact remain that California treated gun owners as criminals and lied to them to get votes for one act and then ignored their own promises.

By the way, in case anyone is unclear on this, this is called ex post facto and is against the Constitution.

If its well regulated, the citizen can show just cause and is not a felon, sure.

And what other of our fundamental rights do you believe we should show "just cause" for? Should I have to show just cause when I want to start a newspaper? Do I only get to plead the fifth if I can show just cause for doing so?

I'm not in favor of random citizens carrying concealed weapons, as random citizens are morons. They can't even use a cell phone without crashing their car, why should we trust them with automatic weapons?

This speaks volumes about the kind of person you are and how little we should regard your opinion in these matters.

None of the rights in the Constitution are absolute. In fact, it says so right in the second amendment, referring to a "well regulated" militia. Once your "freedoms" start infringing on everyon elses expect some serious regulation to follow. Unless you think, like most Libertarians, that your freedoms are worth more than mine. Ever read "Animal Farm"?

Doesn't it ever bother you that no one here takes you seriously? How do you think that reflects on the LP?

Do you have anything to back up this bizarre interpretation??

Was something lost when you translated the text or something??

Or is this (as I suspect) just your own personal (and absolutely warped, IMO...) interpretation??

The "militia" was viewed as being necessary for maintaining the freedom of the people by guarding against encroachment on our rights and freedoms by the government.

This is another one of yoru pathetic lies about Libertarians and shows just how desperate you are and to what depths of dishonesty you're willing to sink to. I have never seen you contribute anything positive to a thread. You merely wish to trar others down to make yourself feel good.

In short: shut up, troll.
