I used to like U2, until Bono opened his mouth.

I so want to join you in this, loving the founding fathers. But the law of this land is shit; today a man smoking a cigarette is held in less regard than a deadbeat Dad. In ten months I'm going to have to pay to not pay health insurance. Buffalo schoolteachers are guaranteed a positive return on retirement investments that won't necessarily grow. Our laws are a fucked mumbo jumbo of patronage and other theft. Did someone shit in the constitution, or was it not that good, just the whim of some white boys that happened to luck onto a new continent? Isn't this the document that made a black man 60% of a man?
God Bless America, but the rules need updating. Everybody better be packing.

U2 The New Enemy

It's fascinating to see how tempting it is to divert attention by changing the subject - from a discussion of the wisdom of NRA openly publishing such a "list" to a denigration of U2.

If everybody can do whatever he wants without any consideration of the common good, that sounds like anarchy.

I agree. How about updating a rule about the right to "bear arms" written in 1789 by people who only knew about muskets?

Sorry, was not trying to divert any attention.

Yes, it could be. I don't know if you are aware of the true definition of anarchy, but most people are not. Most people hear the word anarchy, and they immediately associate it with chaos. If people could educate themselves on the true meaning of such a word, they would see it is not such an evil thing.
BTW... the key part of you statement is "consideration of the common good". If someone is a big enough ass to go against the "common good", then society has a way of dealing with that.

Perhaps you missed my whole point I made about the true meaning for the purpose of the 2nd amendment? You know, tyrannical government and all.

I was merely reacting to your simplistic statement about the right to do whatever you want in a "free society" without any restrictions.

I know that argument well. I also know that the "tyrannical government" has much more powerful weapons than guns.

Sorry that I do not go into such extreme detail on every little nuance. I would hope you could take some things for granted.

Then perhaps you again missed my earlier post explaining that as well.

So you really think the men and woman of the United States military are going to fire on the citizens of the United States of America?
