I live in a neighborhood where bears wander and coyotes nip at children's heels.
I need an AR15.

Don’t have time to read your entire post, but if our need to intervene and infringe on the legal use of others, of a product, based on the propensity to cause others harm, and based on factual numbers of deaths caused by such products, then by far and away tobacco and alcohol has a much greater impact on society and innocence of its citizens.

Should these two products demand more attention?

The only intent of the Constitutional Amendment is to guarantee Americans always have the Right to own the equipment necessary to do what other places in the founding documents talks about, namely
Cast off the tyrannical government.
You're yammering about something that you don't want to understand.

Thank you......

Funny how er, some folks appear to have tunnel vision.
You can keep the baby, and still toss out the bath water .....  

So far we’ve seen some good explanations about guns, the attraction, etc.
I don’t label the gun as a evil thing that deserves my hate, but too, it has a historical significance that I am not sure is relevant anymore...
That is why I am still trying to understand the emotional attachment?????
Not sure if that is a fair assessment, but it’s a fact, I believe, a fair amount of folks own more than enough to secure their immediate safety.
Could the need be based within a fear complex, and the gun makes them feel safer?

I wanna drink and get high, then.
I like to do it and then go driving.
I don't want to pass out, no, just have a good time, happy, relax a bit.
I love the feeling of driving with my window down as the wind hits my face, its extremely liberating....

I am not trying to get in a accident or hurt others, I will try not and drink that much, hopefully just stop here and there, a shot, a hit, just enough to pursue happiness, not get drunk or endanger people.

I might drive around your town, I haven't seen that before, be cool to see another part of the states, drive by the school yards, malls, etc....

Drink a few at a local pub, etc.....

Gotcha, my gawd darn right, like free speak, if I see a fat person slowly walking across the crosswalk, I can yell at the pig to move their big azz outta the way, or I might just run them over as I gotta find a head to pee....

Right.

I like a world where I feed my wants and needs first, lets say everything I want, or do, ......"trumps"    

Ok, it seems we have circled back to risk factor, yes?
I have asked repeatedly if this is the criteria we use to energize our attention to “threats” upon its citizens, the inherent risk of a action or product....
Which brings me back to the greater risk of, and factual carnage of drinking and smoking?

Shouldn’t this be our first two concerns then?

It, public policy, gets confusing if we can’t “define” the criteria for justification of possible infringements on our rights.

Does that make any sense?

No, I am using your same intentions.
