Guns

South Park ftw.

No guns = New problems

If history repeats itself (19th amendment) it will increase mob and gang things and in the end, the initial problem becomes the solution.

That sounds more likely.
Now THIS one I will believe
Merely pointing out that "Mexican" had nothing to do with what he was saying, and it came off sounding racist.
I agree but, even though I'm not with mormons and kinda dislike some of their beliefs, I think saying mormon sounded kind of discriminative also.
thats why he said it.

oh god, i forsee a superquote!

Exactly. What happened during Prohibition? Illegal alcohol imports and gang crime ROCKETED. Even I know that, and they don't teach such specific points of American history here (obviously). If they'd just left it alone, there'd still be alcohol-related issues, but at least the gangs wouldn't have anything to exploit. You ban guns, and the black market will have a field day, every self-respecting criminal will buy one, and normal citizens have absolutely no way of standing up to them. So much for safety.

can i have some of what you're smoking? please?

Umm, sorry I only read my text book and listen to my teacher, I don't smoke them. If you think that is false because it seems stupid think of this, a few hundred years ago only royalty could wear purple, its kind of like that, it all depended on what class you were in. (clergy, royalty, peasants etc.) When America was its own country, they wanted equallity for all (part of the whole freedom thing) so they made the second ammendment to the constitution A.K.A. right to bare arms, that way everyone could carry a sword with them and it wasn't discriminating against classes, now that ammendment is used for guns, and I think that it should because a gun certaintainly is a weapon. I really dont like the idea of people who dont have jobs and live in apartments courtisy of FEMA carrying around guns and being able to mug and kill people, please respect that, for i respect your opinion on the matter.

You want to know why only royalty wore the color purple?
Because it was effing expensive to make, trade, and ship anywhere.

Not because there was a ban on poor people wearing purple or anything. :/
Did your teacher teach you that too?

There we go, the right to bear arms.

I think it was purple, because the dye is made from some oyster or something really random/weird like that. Also noxious, that makes no sense.

It was purple. Purple dye came from really rare snails which only existed in certain (very small) areas, mainly around modern-day Turkey.

Watch Bowling for Columbine, you may learn something.

I know it has its flaws, and twists etc... but the main message is quite clear.

Michael Moor is a douche. His movies are pure asshatery.

Agreed 100%.

That doesn't mean he's point isn't valid.

Michael Moore is lol. Some of his points are good, but they're not presented in a great way.

2nd amendment, "the right to bear arms"
Possible 'bear' definition - "to press or push against".
So i put a picture of two people holding hands, into which their arms are together. The people have the right to bear their arms together. It was a sad attempt at a joke, if you interpret the constitution this way, we dont have the right to own guns, again, sad joke.

Thats the lamest attempt at an explanation I have ever seen. Next time, at least "to hold" as your explanation.

I think guns are perfectly fine. It's just the people who use them. If guns were made illegal people would still obtain them. Most people who use them to kill obtain them illegally anyways. I own guns, but I take them down to my local shooting range. Guns aren't the problem, It's people who have a problem. If there was a law to be made, It should be to keep idiots away from guns, not make guns illegal.

the right to bear arms was originaly only for muskets which was the time it was made im pretty sure they didnt mean you could walk through washington carrying a automatic handgun....
