View Full Version : Rep. McCarthy wants to repeal the 2nd amendment
NRA Member
05-21-2003, 12:06 PM
Rep. Carolyn McCarthy has intoduced H.R. 2038 which is so restrictive it would ban most modern firearms. While reasonable people are sympathetic to the personal tragedy she has suffered, that sympathy ends when she feels that her personal tragedy gives her the right to destroy our nation. Many died so we can be free and their widows did not try to destroy our rights and our nation.

I may not know much about guns. what I do know is this: An 8 year old relative of mine in Florida was injured last year. He went to play at a friends house and his 9 year old friend decided to take out his father's gun and play with it. My relative was shot by the friend in the leg.turned out the father was a felon who was turned down for buying a gun after a background check, but just went and bought the gun at one of your famous gun shows without a problem. Please, don't insult my intelligence with your "men have died for our rights" rah-rah crap. It doesn't wash with most of us.

Any loss of life is tragic whether it be man, woman or child. With that being said, the anti-gunners seem to focus on children frequently , possibly in an attempt to turn a rational argument into an emotional argument. Guns have also saved the lives of children, a fact most anti-gunners ignore or don't have the ability to comprehend. In closing, I would like to say that personally I don't care what will and will not "wash with most of you." In terms if importance the second amendment is first!

Please fill us in on what you do with your guns. Do you take them to the shooting range and use them there? Do you take them hunting? If so, what type of guns do you use to shoot the animals? Do you lock them up and keep the bullets separate? Do you have children in the house? Do you live in an area where the Redcoats are constantly popping up?

About 350 children under age 5 die each year in this country from drowning in swimming pools, far more than are killed by guns.
Do you advocate a swimming pool ban? If it is about the lives of children, wouldn't it make more sense to use the effort go after something that causes the most death?

You know nothing about the second amendment. Read the debates on the drafting of the second amendment. Look at which proposed drafts were found unacceptable and why. The true intent of the second amendment is clear. Research early Supreme Court interpretations of the second amendment such as:
Logan vs. U.S. 1892
Miller vs. Texas 1893
Robertson vs. Baldwin 1897
Maxwell vs. Dow 1900

The point is: the older the case, the closer it is to the drafting of the second amendment and thus the more weight that decision carries. There was a 1939 case. Nothing since 1939. Keep in mind the Supreme Court itself selects what cases it wants to hear. The interpretation will not change with time. The second amendment is an individual right to keep and bear arms.

"Liddy,

So technically Dred Scott holds more weight than any other USSC decision on race?
<<There was a 1939 case. Nothing since 1939.>>
Glossing over 1939.
<<Keep in mind the Supreme Court itself selects what cases it wants to hear. The interpretation will not change with time. The second amendment is an individual right to keep and bear arms.>>
"Well Regulated" is the key. Also, what do YOU consider arms? The "arms" or rather guns in the late 1700's were single shot muskets or long guns. I would be all for the original intent of the 2nd where you can own a musket. Feel free to carry one openly. Heston was being quite dishonest when he held up the single shot rifle. He should have held up a semi-automatic or an Uzi but then regular folks would be aghast.

You brought up an interesting point. One I argue all the time. When the second amendment was drafted, muskets were the arm of the day. That means citizens and government alike had the same level of arm. As technology grew the gap between level of arms in the hands of citizens and level of arms in the hands the government grew. The level of arm in the hands of citizens is over-restricted.

Citizens did not own cannon and other forms of artillery. They did not possess war ships. Are you suggesting that to cathc up citizens today should be aremd with tactical nuclear devices or tanks? You seem to believe that the 2nd is some sort of field leveling when it is certainly not.

The musket to musket argment lends itself to the extrapolation you indicated. However, entertaining that extrapolation takes us to the subject of balance of power between the government and the governed. The framers wrestled with this very issue. The issue of power. A government that is too weak to govern is not a government at all. Anarchy, chaos, local mobocracies, etc. will be the result. Hardly anything that resembles a nation. On the other hand a government that is too powerful with respect to the governed will surely become a tyranny, exercising absolute power. So the framers gave us a government that is strong enough to govern our great nation, but also provided the governed the Bill of Rights(the tools) to prevent tyranny.

I have already answered someone else who proposed this same inept point, but here it is again.
It is like this. If you are:
a) a criminal-you belong in jail
b) mentally unsound-you belong in an institution
c) an illegal alien-you should be deported
However if you are a law-abiding citizen of the U.S. your right to bear arms shall not be infringed. Our nation was founded on the concept of people governing themselves. With freedom comes responsibility. So to reiterate, if you are a criminal, mentally unsound, or an illegal alien you do not belong walking around on the streets of the U.S.
Is this simple enough for you to grasp?

I will entertain this point one last time. Your ability to grasp the answer seems impaired. If someone has a history of mental problems they belong in an institution. If we don't have enough institutions, we can build more. However the rights of law-abiding U.S. citizens shall not be infringed because of someone with a history of mental problems or criminal problems or any other kind of problems. A person with those kind of problems does not belong walking around in a free society.

A sixth grader recently brought a pellet gun that fires plastic yellow pellets to the schoolyard and shot two 5th graders at the local elementary school. After police reports were filed, the school district suspended the boy for 2 days who did the shooting. The school weapons policy calls for a MANDATORY one year expulsion for anyone bringing a weapon onto school grounds. The pellet gun is defined as a weapon in accordance with section 921, title 18 of the US code from the gun-free scxhools act of 1994......without partisan opinion on the right to bear arms involved in this, whats your opinion of the light suspension?

Aggression comes from the human mind. Our youth must be taught from a young age that unprovoked aggression is unacceptable and it will not be tolerated. If you abuse your precious freedom you will lose it. In a free society the individual MUST take responsibility for his actions.
In this case I would leave the lenght of suspension(if any) at the discretion of the appropriate person in the school system. However I would require a MANDATORY duration of one-half semester in a special ed/problem child class for any child that iniates unprovoked aggression with or without a weapon.

Your answer is absolutely to whether a mentally unstable person should be able to buy guns is ridiculous. Let's do a little history lesson here.
If a president (let's say Reagan) cuts the budget for mental institutions, and someone is out of the mental institution (because of Reagan), they can go out and buy a gun under your beautiful little world. So under by your argument, we need a police state to make sure everyone in the country is mentally sane, not a criminal (I'm assuming that if they've served their time it's okay), and not an illegal alien (don't know how this fits in except in order to make a xenophobic reference,) then everyone can have guns.
How pray tell do we get to the police state where people like that don't have guns without turning our country into Iraq. Even better, Iraq isn't a good example, cause it's never been done. How do we get to that police state?

I have owned all types of firearms for over 30 years. I've been a competition pistol and rifle shooter for 20 years. Am I an NRA member? NO F'ING WAY. Should anyone be allowed to own a gun? See my response to my NRA affiliation. Bottom line, MOST guns are designed to kill something, PERIOD. Firearm ownership carries with it a tremendous responsiblity to ensure not only the shooter's safety, but the safety of anyone who may be around a firearm. Do I have a right to own a machine gun? Only in the NRA's convoluted dream world. I won't get into 2A arguments with extremists, from either side of the debate. The facts are: The Federal Government and the States DO have the authority to regulate gun ownership by private citizens. If the NRA wants to actually do something to further the interests of legal gun owners, start policing yourselves. Turn in the FFL holders that are making straw sales. Those FFL holders are the single largest source of illegal firearms on the streets today. Stop trying to circumvent the law with modifications to your own firearms. Demand extremely strict penalties for illegal posession of a firearm, and demand that they be enforced. If you live in an area where a permit is required, and you own a gun without a permit, then you are NOT an honest citizen. You ARE a criminal, and should be prosecuted. The more you scream for unrestricted gun ownership, the more the other side will fight you. And guess what? The other side is winning. Time to find a new strategy.
