Actually you are both barking up the wrong tree. As a practical matter you should want legislation to be constructed with a definition that is not so specific that it could easily be got round by clever individuals.

Thanks for posting this. It reveals the utter depravity of mental process in our White House. It defies logic to blame gun violence on mental illness when the incidence of mental illness is quite similar to ours throughout the other nations we regularly compare ourselves to. Yet these other...

Actually i wasn't parroting a media narrative, I was parroting an official definition in New Zealand. Your false logic has made me distrust you. The notion that a person has to understand much of anything about the workings of firearms to understand the statistics of gun violence, and the...

Finally! Your starting to get it. Now what is the probability that someone will break into your house and have a fully automatic military weapon? Ok good. Now why is that probability low. Right. Those guns are hard to come by for civilians. Not impossible, but not so easy ,right? And since...

Oops. Your wrong. OchoCinco is right. Please don't make me call you an asshole.

nice.

C'mon on, i'm only off by a factor of 1ooo.

I am a bit ambivalent on this point, but personally I'd be willing to adopt the definition for military style firearms used in New Zealand for example, to wit: Military-style semi-automatic firearms are those semi-automatic firearms known in the United States as "assault weapons". Such weapons...

Now we are getting somewhere. You are starting to make sense! You've moved on from third grade grammar to something having to do with the discussion at hand. Well done!

I wanted to let you know that I agree with this statement above you posted. What makes these people I refer to unreasonable, has nothing to do with whether I consider them unreasonable, rather it has to do with my argument.

Do you have something of substance to add to the discussion?

apparently it's that your incapable of figuring it out. I did not say you were. But you have just implied that! Others won't have nearly the difficulty you're having. Ask Tony what the point is. He can explain it to you.

Oh, almost to the penny what Trump took from the Pentagon to finance his wall that "Mexico is paying for."

It is hard for a reasonable person to understand your view because it supposes, lawlessness among some politicians -- not in itself hard to accept, but it also supposes, at the same time, one of the pillars of the Bill of Rights would simply be ignored by right-minded fellow politicians, by the...

Addendum to my response to Tsing Tao re 1. whether a banning of all guns is being called for in any serious legislative proposal. And 2. What may reasonably be done re regulation of firearms under the Second Amendment, according to Heller. from the Heller opinion:

_____________________________________________________________ Here is exactly what I posted. Please read it, as you seemed to have not understood what I wrote. I may be mistaken, but i am not aware of any prominant politician, unless taken out of context in some edited video, for example...

Of Course!

I understand. It would be very difficult.

Do you have a mic on your computer? It would be so cool if you could create a little MP3 file of you reading my post in your high pitched shrill voice. That could be nominated for post of the year! If you could somehow do a video of it that would super! It could go viral and you could be...

ha ha ha. I should charge him for my advice on how to win the EC too, don't you think.
