    “Your levels of density and paranoia are shocking.”

    Do not convict me before the fact —

    “Even you should understand and recognize that the 2nd amendment was written a very long time ago when society was less developed than it is now.”

    Now because we live 230 + years after writing the constitution, “YOU” want to abridge/modify the 2nd amendment —

    How many more amendments do “YOU” want to abridge/modify?

    I’d support a change in the consitution that would prevent some people from being stupid, ignorant, and irrelvant. It’s called an “amendment”. Sometimes they become necessary. Instead of your emotional arguments, kindly answer David’s question: “what reason would anyone have to carry a loaded weapon to work?”. A loaded weapon has only three possible uses.
    1. hunting. That doesn’t happen during working hours.
    2. target shooting. Maybe after work.
    3. killing something or somebody.

    I’d presume the idiots who are arguing for this “right” are concerned about #3. “what if” I need to defend myself? It’s frightening to know that a “vigilante” mentality permeates the state of Oklahoma. Y’all want to take the law into your own hands and shoot some SOB who wrong you? NOBODY carries a loaded weapon unless their prepared to use it. That puts y’all back in the wild west. Perhaps that’s why you’re there.

    “What if” is exactly why people carry…

    The Virginia Tech shootings would have been over alot sooner if someone had been carrying. Instead of being paranoid about legal carrying of weapons, allowing responsible persons to legally carry on the basis of “what if,” could have changed the day that horrible “what if” came true.

    Your statement of “The real question?” is what our constitutional system decided. The courts measured two rights and provided an answer.

    So, no my question was not to you — my question/statement is to those individuals trying to restrict the 2nd amendment, along with any other amendment which they deem is not in the 21st century.

    Hi Fred,

    Thats what I thought but I just wanted to check. This is an interesting issue; Gun rights vs property rights. I’d imagine that everyone of us has a stake in each one.

    Roger up what you’re saying about those that want to throw their (along with yours & mine) rights away. Its sad because I really feel when a right is given up its hard to get it back.
