Novel interpretations of the 2nd Amendment

[Cain]

Apparently "not infringed" now means "mandatory"

Five South Dakota lawmakers have introduced legislation that would require any adult 21 or older to buy a firearm "sufficient to provide for their ordinary self-defense."

The bill, which would take effect Jan. 1, 2012, would give people six months to acquire a firearm after turning 21. The provision does not apply to people who are barred from owning a firearm.

Nor does the measure specify what type of firearm. Instead, residents would pick one "suitable to their temperament, physical capacity, and preference."

The measure is known as an act "to provide for an individual mandate to adult citizens to provide for the self defense of themselves and others."

Rep. Hal Wick, R-Sioux Falls, is sponsoring the bill and knows it will be killed. But he said he is introducing it to prove a point that the federal health care reform mandate passed last year is unconstitutional.

I'm not sure this proves any kind of point whatsoever, except politicians in America are exceedingly stupid and partake in grandstanding with other people's money for shits and giggles.

South Dakota would be a good place to test the effects of mandatory gun ownership


Because pretty much nobody lives there.

FFS, just another peacock strutting his tail feathers. I wonder how much his stupid is costing the state?

I guess we will all have to start shouting FIRE in crowded theaters.  I believe it is now mandatory, for preservation of Free Speech.

We call it the mutually assured destruction tactic.
We observed that on a global scale that while tense, the countries who held MAD over each other had little to no violent activity.
We want this to filter down through every level of society. With MAD in place on the streets we would see less purse snatching, less stabbings even less verbal disagreements.
No longer will you have to worry about someone bumping into you on the street when they are moody, they wouldn't dream of it when you can open fire on them in retaliation.

Nevermind the fact that one is at the federal level and the other is at the State level.  You know, like that Health Care Reform thing they have going on in Massachussetts.

I fail to see a problem.  It's not like our states are insolvent, or anything.

See, that's why Arizona, which is laying off cops left and right, and had to sell it's capitol building, can afford to start immigration legislation that they know will lead to an incredibly expensive court case.

Things like this is why I doubt the U.S. has even 10 years left before full economic collapse.

Optimist.  Rome was in the same boat in 50 BCE.  We have another couple of hundred years of flailing around like syphlitic idiots, I think, though life will get tougher within the next 20 years.

Well, personally Terri and I are officially insolvent now. Along with plentymillion of other Americans. I dunno where the states of the feds are going to get any more money.

You pull shit like this, the NRA gives you an A* rating and you get a nice block of retard single-issue fudds on your side.

The Fudds are feeling a mite confused, these days.

Michelle Bachmann's stated goal to slash the fuck out of the VA is causing po'bucker heads to explode all over America.  On one hand, she's openly fucking the troops.  On the other, she's on "their side", and they don't know what to do.

Expect even weirder behavior and/or legislation as the year grinds on.
