"Louis, when you say that the 2nd amendment isn't incorporated, did you mean it was not ratified by every state? This is news to me, if true. I thought that the entire constitution had been ratified by all the states that then existed.…"

"I've been thinking about throwing together an atheist/freethinker/secular/humanist/etc... group in or around the Ottawa/Lawrence area. Nothing formal. Just kind of get together and discuss issues, books, and concerns. Any suggestions or ideas?"

"I know about the difference between melee and projectile~ I'm trained (at an intermediate level) to teach hand to hand combat in the military.
btw, melee weapons don't require skill to use; neither does a gun. Its not…"

"LET ME MAKE IT SIMPLE, very few people will engage hand to hand , the hand gun allows anyone who get the drop on you to have their way.
the had gun is unique because most other hand weapons require close interaction , some level of strength…"
Park Bierbower replied to Tyler J. Jenkins's discussion Guns/Second Amendment
"Sir, no one has at any point on this thread advocated more guns. No one has advocated everyone armed. You really should read the previous discussion here, because the more adamant you are, the less sense you make.…"

"more guns are not the answer
I challenge you to find anyone in this thread who claims that it IS the answer."
thomas smith replied to Tyler J. Jenkins's discussion Guns/Second Amendment
"folks, think about it, , the escalation that you have proposed, i.e. everyone armed will result in exactly this scenario. of course there will be anomlys, where the robber is overpowered , and probably some would be robbers will change…"
Park Bierbower replied to Tyler J. Jenkins's discussion Guns/Second Amendment
"That example reflects in no way the reality of armed robberies, and is in fact illogical if the purpose is to take someone's possessions without being caught or stopped. try again please."

"Willful ignorance is not a strong position for debate. Explain Park's situation then? He's still alive, his would be muggers/robbers are still alive. Why the anomaly?"

"
no, the first person to rob is whoever comes down the street when no one else is looking.!! Unless you walk around all the time with your gun in your hand., the aggressor always has the advantage. the scenario is simple; I shoot you …"
TK replied to Tyler J. Jenkins's discussion Guns/Second Amendment
"This type of defensive firearm use happens a LOT. It doesn't get sensationalized, because a) no one got shot, and b) it's usually not reported to police."
TK replied to Tyler J. Jenkins's discussion Guns/Second Amendment
"I am thinking logically. You know the logical first person to rob? The person I know who doesn't have a gun. It's an equalizer, not a guarantee. If you enjoy being a target, then so be it. Don't make me a…"

"the same. There were three. Because I was aware of my surroundings, I got my weapon out before they could get theirs out. They saw I had it and backed off cuz they knew I'd be able to shoot before they would."

Randall Smith posted a blog postThe Rednecks are coming, the Rednecks are coming
Actually, the rednecks are here and everywhere. Let me say, I'm not a big fan of these people. That's putting it mildly. Need I describe them? You know who I mean.This seems to be the time of year when they come out of the woodwork. Here in Indiana, as the weather gets nice, the motorcyclists are out in full force. I hate the noise cycles make. Then there's the Indianapolis 500 fans, the majority of which are rednecks. Interview them or a typical Pacer fan (big news as they face the Miami…See More
