Re: Which gun would you love to have IRL?

I also dont understand why so much credence is put into the constitution. If the US fundamentally stuck to the constitution then i think most people would not want to live there, the fact that it can be amended means that the US has become the relatively free nation it is today. So if any political party with power can change the constitution, why is it so important?

Britain has the Magna Carta, which is similar, apart from it hasnt been changed in nearly 800 years, and i regard the fact that a King's man cant take my horse very special, but i wouldnt fight for it.

Wow... I don't think you could misunderstand the US constitution any more if you tried.

The fact that you can change the constitution doesnt mean that you can repeal things from it.

^^^ I guess this is what seperates Americans from Brits, and is probably why we won our fight for independence. case closed.

The constitution was a document created when the United states was formed in the late 18th century. However, the original document can be amended by clauses passed by the executive/legislature/judiciary of the day, such as the 18th Amendment passing prohibition or the 19th Amendment giving women the vote. Good enough?

Are you trying to say that amendments passed since dont contradict the constitution and therefore nullify some of it?

And actually, is the right to bear arms not an amendment to the constitution? In the same way that prohibition was an amendment and was later repealed.

Not quite… do you have any idea how hard it is to change the constitution? 2/3rds vote in both houses of congress AND 2/3 of all state legislatures have to agree. That is a lot of politicians… This 200 year old document works so well because it can be changed, but only if a huge majority of the populace agrees. It is likely one of the best written documents in the history of man.

So when a small but influential group of Americans wanted prohibition imposed, they actually needed the support of the majority of the populace?

Ever read the Da Vinci Code?

You kind of have a hang up on prohibition... are you a drunk or something? :)

If you hadn't guessed already, im a history student :) It's one of the things ive studied. And anyway, its an example of a small group of people managing to get the constitution changed against the will of the majority. It's also an example of something which was added to the constitution being repealed, which could happen to the right to bear arms one day.

The Da Vinci thing was a joke... :)

Re: Which gun would you love to have IRL?

Mabye you don't need a firearm in the area that you live in, but here in downtown Houston, they police are actually reccomending that citizens carry shotguns in their cars, beacuse it's becoming neccecary to take down groups of people at this point.

Is this for Real???????????????

Aside from the fact that violence doesnt solve anything and gun ownership shouldnt be encouraged, i'd definitely go for the L96 bolt action sniper rifle. man i could listen to that sweet echo all day...

Re: Which gun would you love to have IRL?

FAMAS or P90 Btw were not even allowed to have Airsoft in CA...

I heard they have the same **** over Australia aswell. However, Ive heard that Canada DOES allow airsofting, but they have put some taxes on the rifles and some regulations on the metal parts. Correct me if Im wrong. I do know you guys paintball, and most of my Kanucki buddies envy me for being able to airsoft.

Walker, only a moron would take airsoft to the streets. The educated, mature and responsible people carry their stuff concealed, to the "playground" and use them there .
