the RIGHT TO A JURY of one''''s peers is what''''s wrong with the U.S.A.! - Posted by Candide777

You are reading gibberish between the lines. I never implied that the Constitutional right to a trial by a jury of one%u2019s peers should be abolished. On the contrary, I believe it is one of our best safeguards of justice. However, do you believe the people serving on OJ%u2019s jury were his peers? Not hardly. Cochran paid a fortune to %u201Cjury consultants%u201D to help him exclude anyone with a brain particle from the jury. Presumably, you saw the outcome, too. Do you believe justice was served, or the spirit of the law was followed?

Meanwhile, you can pretend that everything said and written by Thomas Jefferson, James Madison, Thomas Paine, et al, regarding the right to keep and bear arms, has no relevance. They could never have imagined the technological advances of modern firearms, and would have cheerfully surrendered their right to self defense if they lived in modern times, right?

And finally, Well REGULATED, as used in the Second Amendment, had nothing to do with rules, laws or control by any government or military body. Its only meaning was proficient, or skilled.

lawmakers and judges need to use common sense in "regulating" the militia as mandated by the Second Amendment - Posted by Candide777

You should brush-up on your reading skills, while you are at it. The only thing mandated by the Second Amendment is that the right to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed. The need for a well regulated (aka proficient) militia (aka all of us) to maintain the security of a free state, explains why it is of benefit for the people to keep and bear arms. Argue and complain all you want. The Founding Fathers explained and documented it all quite clearly.

if something goes wrong during the trial and he gets acquitted, he can walk out of the courthouse go to his local gun store - Posted by Candide777

Are you serious? Would you like to abridge any other rights of innocent citizens? We all know that OJ did it (with a knife), but Cochran was able to stack the jury with morons. That is a big problem with our justice system. You should be far more concerned about that. Using your logic, any person accused of a crime should be locked up. Who needs a trial, right?

You should do a bit of research on your facts, too. Criminals rarely get their weapons from legal sources, like gun stores or gun shows. Most buy them from other criminals on the black market. In addition to convicted felons being prohibited from purchasing, owning or possessing guns, so are illegal aliens, drug addicts, dishonorably discharged veterans, and people adjudged mentally deficient. Your goal is obvious; disarm everyone. There are many places you could live where that is already the law of the land. Enjoy.

Our young people often are at a loss about behavior due to an insulating exposure to violence in many forms. It was unthinkable in my day to randomly shoot a weapon. The response would be sudden and final from law enforcement of my day.

Today it has more to do with an absence of example and behavior. I enjoy owning, maintaining and safeguarding my firearms. I am also aware of what would happen to me if I abuse them. Woodson doesn''t seem to have an idea about behavior and consequences.

A person bent upon harming another will find a weapon or method to accomplish their objective. All murders and violent crimes are not accomplished by using a firearm. I doubt that the elimination of firearms would reduce the overall number of violent crimes against others.

LOL, another conservative who defines "felon" not as one who commits felonies, but only as one who is caught and convicted! LMAO! - Posted by singindick

OMG! You must be twins, at least. It is not possible for any one person to be that many kinds of stupid! Please seek help. Go buy a dictionary and have someone (not related to you by blood) teach you how to use it. Also, do not ever procreate, or vote!

[displeased]

Criminals (those who have committed felonies, but which your absurdly refuse to call "felons" simply because they were never convicted) are legally buying guns today, even as we speak, thanks to gun nuts like you!!!! Silly boy.
Posted by singindick

A person can''t be a legal felon until they''ve been convicted. A problem is somebody can commit felonies and still buy a gun because their record is clean, at least until they''ve been caught. How do we determine which buyers are legitimate citizens or which ones have criminal intentions?

[billorights]

Wow, conservatives are really brain dead! Now they are taking the position that all felons get convicted and sent to jail! - Posted by singindick

This is really quite an excellent example of someone who just cannot comprehend. I will try again to explain so that you might understand. Here goes: If you commit a crime, you ARE a criminal, even if you get away with it. If you get caught, and are convicted of a felony, then, and ONLY then, are you a felon. That is the way it works. And to get back to where this started...convicted felons are prohibited by law from owning or possessing firearms. That law has been in place in every state for a LOOOONG time.

[mommajommah]

or better yet, why don''t we get rid of woodson?

[bozworth4]

I got an idea, how ''''bout you get rid of the guns and then you won''''t have to worry about it?! It''''s going to be sadly ironic when I read in the paper about you getting run over by your own car! I promise not to laugh though!

Be glad to! The sign at the end of my drive will read "Welcome, this is a gun free zone. Please leave if you have a gun or guns. You may be confronted with a set of car keys on a ring and hurt if you bring your gun. Or you might have a car wreck if you steal my car." Or I could just say "Keep out". I''m sure that you with all the answers will advise which sign is best. I await your input. OOOPS! No won''t wait! Sorry this is a dead horse being whipped. Nothing new here. A fresh idea would be nice. Have a good day.
