I have a concealed carry license. I bet that scares the living hell out of you.
Also, those laws have spread to nearly every state. And now the next wave of laws spreading are ones where you don’t have to back down to criminals when defending yourself with deadly force.
You live in some pot smoke fog (and if you really do use drugs as you say, you having guns is a felony… Read the forms you fill out. You’re doubly a criminal) and somehow think that gun control matters to people. :wally
Guess what… Gun control is probably less popular now than anytime in the history of this country. Since 9/11, people want defense. Conservatives like me always knew it was a good idea to be armed, but now liberals are even figuring it out. Most liberal forums are quite libertarian when it comes to guns these days.
I think you need to lay off the drugs for a few weeks and let your head clear up.
Just a word: deliberately and personally insulting other posters is prohibited in Great Debates. Accusing someone of currently living in a drug fog when they have only stated a desire to smoke an occasional joint in some indefinite future would be an example of a personal insult and the use of the :wally smiley directed at another poster is a direct insult.
The desire to ‘smoke the occasional joint’ shows a lack of judgement that should preclude owning any firearms. Criminals are not allowed to, and I’m a big 2nd amendment supporter.
When did they add a “pot clause” to the 2nd Ammendment? Sure there is question 12e on the BATFE Form 4473, but not in the Ammendment that you support. I’m pretty sure that a misdemeanor marijuana charge doesn’t make one a prohibited posessor either. One thing that a casual marijuana smoker might consider before moving to Texas is that marijuana laws are more stringent there than in California (I think anyway) though.
You say it yourself. 12e makes potheads unable to buy firearms.
A past conviction may or may not ban someone from owning a gun. Frankly, I’d say any drug conviction proves that the person is unable to have proper judgement and should be a banning of firearm rights per se.
12e does the best it can on the matter, but I’d certainly like to see it expanded. I’d say non-drug people should be able to own any weapons, repeal the '34 law even for them. Drug people don’t have any rights for firearms, since they’ve proven themselves as being criminals and fools.
You appear to be demanding a cite from Clothahump for what was an expressed personal opinion? And one that was pretty obviously at least partially tongue in cheek.
