Today's "liberals", I mean. By the classic (and dictionary) definition, a liberal is interested in continually increasing individual liberties, not finding ways to limit them.

But now "liberal" means some hippie-ass PETA crap in which you cannot say badwrong things or eat some red meat or shoot inanimate things on your own property, just for the hell of it. No, today's "liberals" are not really any different than the Jesus & Fear crowd on the right. Together, they are the No Fun crowd, and in a CIVILIZED society, they'd be laughed out into the wasteland, and they would breed no more.

But I'm not in a civilized society, I'm in America, and I am told I have to choose between Sean Hannity and Air Fucking America, and the very thought of this false dichotomy makes me want to exhume William Jennings Bryan and shit in his festering ribcage.

Oh, goddammit.
Can't disagree with any of that. Other than others may disagree with your ability to define liberals of today.

So they were all boys in puffy pants and long coats the 18th century and now they're girls who really should go see a hairdresser?

Hey, the guy standing on the left was the best pit fighter of his day, and the girl is Barbara Streisand, America's Wailer-in-Chief.

yes well, in any case, I guess there's no law against fighting in funny clothes. Check out WWF! ;) I don't think there's a law against wailing either.

I mean, I pretty much hate everyone I know, and I have managed not to kill any of my neighbors so far, right?

The way the amendment is worded, unless you have had your rights stripped by a felony conviction by a jury of your peers, you should be able to walk down the street with a flamethrower, if that's what you want to do.
Mentally ill people who go on shooting sprees. Kids who go on shooting sprees. In some of those instances, the people involved legally purchased weapons, even though they should not have been able to.

*edit to add* When the 2nd ammendment was written, we didn't have the same kind of weapons we have now.

I could give you countless examples of extreme behavior by otherwise previously legally sane people. You know them as well. So what's the point? We just start to restrict Constitutional rights because of a few nuts when 99% of the rest of people are doing it all right?

Flamethrowers are legal. ;)

Dumbasses killing a family of four with their monster SUV. In some of those instances, the people involved legally purchased an automobile, even though they should not have been able to.

So what? When amendment III was written, we didn't have the system of barracks we have now. Would you like to erase amendment III?
