Britney's Black Helicopters, page 2

Ahem, John Bull...........

Thomas Jefferson also said we should revolt every 10 years to keep the govornment in line and from getting too powerful.

That said, the consitution and the basic articles have not been re written because NO ONE WANTS THEM TO BE RE WRITTEN. Obviously, people are quite happy with the way it has been, the bill of rights, the core of the coinstituion. No one sees any need to change these things, we are quite happy with them as a people.

But, we have added HOW MANY AMENDMENTS? The constution does change, When something comes up.....we write something new into it, and amendments can be written to repeal them. Just take prohibition and its repeal as an example.

Americans treat the constitution like religous writ because it is beautiful to us, it is something we hold dear, something we enjoy, something that is sacred to us. We do not flip flop every ten years to change it to suit whatever whim is choking the population at the moment........

And a good question brought up...how about that crime rate in Britain? Gun ownership is almost impossible there, with the draconian laws and high cost of them. Yet your crime rate, gun violence, continues to rise. Alot of good gun control is doing there, eh?

California and New York. Both have HEAVY gun control laws, as does washington DC. Yet the murder rates in all above areas continue to rise, crime continues to soar. Then I look at here, Washington state, where we have very open gun laws, conceal carry rights. The crime rate here involving guns continues to remain pretty low. And, before you state poverty or some other garbage as cause for high crime and violence, Washington state has the third highest unemployment rate in the nation, Maybe even the second now with more layoffs we have had. There is ALOT of poverty, but little gun control, and we have very little problem with it. So much for gun control keeping people safe. Incidentally, the murder rate this year in Seattle was a whopping 35 people. WOW. a city of 585,000.....and 35 murders..........which I beliebe the majority of those we non gun murders, but strangluations and knifings.

So much for gun control.

Gun ownership is as valid today as it was 227 years ago when it was written into the constitution. Ity is still an American right, a right we hold dear. This is NOT Europe. WE have NO desire to do ANYTHING like Europe. Having been to Europe, the oppresive controls on everything, the lack of breathing room, and the most disturbing govornment policies there....no thanks.

WE like America just the way it is. Thankfully, ultra freakish left wingers like Flinx are in the minority.

Incidentally, thats why the last election was so neck in neck between Bush and Gore. The Clinton admin and its gun control laws really alienated ALOT of people, and Gore even had to distance himself from the issue and develop friendlier ties with the gun owners of America. I know alot of people, not republicans, who did vote for Bush for that very reason: Gun laws.

This article is pretty much left wing lame humor. They love to blow alot of things out of proportion, look at bowling for Columbine. Such crap. These people really need to try living in the real world........

But Fry pretty kuch tore up that article.

And, of course, John, who the hell else would the NRA blacklist? Gun control groups, duh! No surprise there. Why shouldnt they? I look at that list of blacklist, and minus the gun control issue, the vast majority of the organizations I despise and distrust for other reasons.
