The one thing that Charlton Heston could not pry from your cold dead hands
There's got to be something. Mano-a-mano, you and Moses, a Texas death match in which you defend your "special something" with your life. NAME IT. Mr. Heston is waiting.

2. My belief that the 2nd Amendment isn't sancrosanct.
No, you stupid, brain addled ultra right wing gun fanatic, the 2nd Amendment does NOT cover automatic assault weapons. Godddamit, the Founding Fathers did NOT mean for every American to own an AK-47, you stupid goddammned motherfucker!

4. You're wrong, it says ARMS

So everyone is clearly entitled to have hand grenades, mortars, howitzers, low yield thermonuclear weapons ...

5. What about legs?
I'm just curious? Do you have an inalienable right to bear your legs too? Or are shorts forbidden?

7. When AK-47s are outlawed, only outlaws will have AK-47s...
...err...never mind. That one sounded better before it hit the page.

14. Now you've done it!
You're gonna get this thread relegated to the Gungeon! ;)

For what it's worth, my scary-looking semi-automatic weapons are covered by the 2nd Amendment. You are free to not own any.

Also, AK-47's are old fully automatic rifles. They are not "assault weapons." My Chinese MAK-91, a semi-automatic rifle of similar design is an "assault weapon."

17. I get very passionate about this subject, mosin. I don't want to...
relegate this thread to the Gungeon. Seriously. :-)

But there's way too much bullshit and way too much "misinterpretation" of the 2nd Amendment today. In my opinion.

18. I get passionate too...
but we can still be friends. :grouphug:

I agree!

I just don't think we attribute the "misinterpretation" to the same people. :)

19. True enough. :-)
Yes, we can still be friends, of course. :grouphug:

I still fervently believe in gun control. And I certainly don't think that all Americans should have the right to own every weapon that comes down the pike.

But that's just me. :-)

10. Hmmm...I wasn't thinking so much in terms of things attached to you...
...isn't there something "external"...hypothetically speaking, of course...that you value as well?

12. Not really.
Everything of real value, that I can legitimately call mine, is inside me. Everything else is just stuff. Stuff can be replaced.

I have people in my life I value a great deal, however they aren't "mine" in any real sense of the word.
