> [@ElvisL1ves](#): > > You present no reason for any honest person to engage you on any subject. How about money? You taking my money? That’s a good reason. Unless of course you think I AM the honest person, which of course it seems you all think I am. 🙂 ---

> [@Hentor\_the\_Barbarian](#): > > This utter moron thinks I’m annoyed by his continuing to make himself look like a desperate liar. Why do you say I look like a liar? You can’t really protest the wager if RedFury holds the money can you? He even leans towards your side of the debate. ---

Being Canadian I imagine you wouldn’t understand. > **[District of Columbia v. Heller](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/District_of_Columbia_v._Heller)** > > District of Columbia v. Heller, 554 U.S. 570 (2008), is a landmark decision of the Supreme Court of the United States. It ruled that the Second Amendment to the U.S. Constitution protects an individual's right to keep and bear arms for traditionally lawful purposes such as self-defense within the home, and that the District of Columbia's handgun ban and requirement that lawfully owned rifles and shotguns be kept "unloaded and disassembled or bound by a trigger lock" violated this guarantee. It It’s not an absolute right and it can be limited. Thanks for playing. ---

> [@Bryan\_Ekers](#): > > Oh, your chance to be taken seriously is long gone. Taken seriously? You don’t really count cause you live Korea or Canada or something, but in the great USA gun grabbers just lost a major battle, and in doing so they put millions more guns on the street. Which is good cause that has helped make our country safer. So I’m just here to rub some of them facts you were talking about. Like the continuing drop in gun related homicides despite all the guns Obama has been selling.
