Coyotes self regulate their population numbers there isn't really any need to kill the only predator we have left unless you really want to pick up the slack killing vermin like rats and pet cats.

say what you want, the bill of rights includes an amendment that seems to imply that people have the right to bear arms in defense of their state; it does not appear to be a direction to have a standing federal army

I know that states rights don't mean jack in light of ~1864 but the language of the 2nd amendment is actually quite clear

"A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed."

"the right of the people to keep and bear Arms

"the right of the people"

Why would it ever be a right of the people for an overarching federal establishment to keep a standing army? Furthermore, what do you think the people who adopted the amendments thought, people who existed after the New Model Army & send the Redcoats packing

the worst thing america ever did was turn into an empire and our greencoats kill more people in more countries than England did at the height of their empire

I think what really happened is the brutality of war quickly outpaced our outmoded society, and we simply cannot allow even 1900s weapons of war onto our streets because it would consume our population instantly

the fact that teddy roosevelt was able to build an army, take over parts of spain and that army laid the foundation for our federal army is all the evidence you should need to accept the fact that we're not a republic anymore

I think it's pretty dumb that, as a response to suicide and mass shooting, rather than make a serious attempt at tackling the real problems(mental illness, social injustice, poverty, and so on), people just go "guns are bad, see!" As if people wouldn't be able to kill themselves or others without them.

by even talking about taking peoples rights you set up a perfect debate for the two people pretending to be enemies during their next presidential show down, and then you never have to actually address all of those weird european ideas like including mental health into healthcare

How much do I cum? The answer might surprise you!

when the boston marathon bombing happened and like clockwork the city was locked down and police in LAV looking things were doing door to doors on every street with full armored breaching teams it makes you wonder if the 2nd amendment isnt so silly after all

not that terrorists shouldnt be hunted but that looked just a little bit like some infringement of civil liberties

just got back from Chipotle and I'm pleased to report that I didn't die or get mugged. Obviously because I had a gun. If I did not have a gun, I would be dead or mugged.

if you arnt with us you are against us

but who is with who?

i say for the next war the US military should hold a vote. all branches. from the generals to the non-com cooks and even cadets and reserves get together and vote on the next war.

then at least you can all agree it was a good war.

If anyone could get them to address any other issue other than immigration, tpp, tax returns, I would consider it a step in the right direction

Edit: replace tpp with emails

handguns are the actual problem and i don't see why anyone should have one unless they qualify for very specific circumstances

like if they posted in this thread and want to kill themselves
