Cut and paste? PLEASE! I can't cut and paste from a college text book unless it is online!

but it is easy enough to find a lot online isn't it? Gee, and I manage to back up my claims and this is all you can offer?

The oppressed have a LONG history of becoming the oppressors! And yet here YOU are still clinging to the past. Some of us are trying to look ahead and not get stuck in the mire of such fallacious belief!

Personally; I never minded sharing my closet with a guy. I just put the extra clothes in a bin under the bed. I also don't have a lot of shoes so there is room for his as well. However if I needed or wanted a bigger closet; I would build it myself. Guess I am not your typical woman.

So what? America was conceived with the right idea but it took time to accomplish that. The struggle just for Women's suffrage took how long? But the fact is America made huge strides held back by politicians.

The ultimate problem is how Americans became complacent and self centered. But what you don't see is that a Foreign business sold slaves when their parent nation abolished slavery! THAT'S ENGLAND!

Oh but again you jump to extremes. Well, let us look at the History of Afghanistan... Children have been fighting in their war as young as 11. They have been known to play sniper in the hills and CHILDREN wreaked havoc with the Russians. In all reality on a lot of shooting trips I have been on the KIDS ARE THE ONES MORE CONSCIOUS ABOUT SAFETY THAN THE ADULTS ESPECIALLY AFTER OUR MORNING SAFETY MEETINGS BEFORE WE SHOOT. So armed kids honestly are more trustworthy than adults when they are taught the realities of guns and not allowed to play stupid games. We have had one kid get stupid and got a time out all day long for waving a loaded gun around. it was his dad who was on him faster than starving dogs on a freshly opened can of dog food. And likewise we have revoked the privilege of some adults to go with us becasue of disobedience to rules like NO ALCOHOL OF ANY KIND ON THE RANGE! And considering the campsite is usually on the range you are either drinking or shooting, but NEVER EVER BOTH AMONG US! Safety FIRST!

And that is SOP among many others who I know shoot.

But back to Irony... So you want to becry tyranny? How about Affirmative Action? How about the illegal operations within our own government?

And Obama is leading the way? Planning parties and trying to push Executive orders on us like a tyrant himself. Scuttlebutt has it he has given the order to make civilians the enemy! So with that in mind he is who to what now to us?

Why is it I have a bad feeling this man may have the words 'Sic Semper Tyrannus' on his head stone? The way he is going he may just wind up being a scape goat for the real evil among us. When you educate yourself on what money and banking is things become clear and terrifyingly real.

If Obama is all that why did he go all George Bush on us? Bailing out Bankers? To what end? To support some illusionary notions about economy? they WHOLE system is tailored to screw people and keep us at each other's throats and gun control is just a diversion! I suppose I am making that up too?

So what? We lay down our arms and kneel under their thumb? Americans need to shape up and vote for the little guy for the change. Not some banker Schill. Obama sold us out some more. Kerry would have done the same though! Gotta shove NWO down our throats.

Would be nice if they had a bill of rights and a Constitution for us to go by. What is coming will set us back past the Magna Carta! Get ready for some quality serfing!

yep,and Medical and Pharmaceutical R&D will take place by itself!
Nothing to worry about,nothing to worry about at all!

Nothing is Free in Life,not even Death,since it will cost you your Life,as my Old Man so aptly used to observe!

Indeed, the Irony is apparent. However the words he speaks are no less true... He was quite wise, and America has matured since then, recognizing the error in it's ways. President Lincoln was responsible for a movement that ultimately freed the slaves. He was a large supporter of Jefferson. Also ironic...

This question cannot be answered with completely honest opinion, as it has been oversimplified (there are more moving parts than allowed to address.)

But hey, i will play along as i believe you ultimately have a point.

Option 2. Because children have not yet fully matured. Also, many have not yet received the proper instruction on how to handle a firearm. This could lead to accidental shootings. This is why we have gun safes and don't leave loaded guns lying around when 5-year-olds are running around.

This what you were looking for?

I actually had a date once where the lady brought her two year old along to the restaurant.

Yeah, that was a lot of fun trying to chat up someone that was trying to kill two birds with one stone by coming into the town to see her divorce lawyer and meet me with a noisy brat in tow on a rainy day. She actually blamed me for all of the hassle when I called her later and it had been her idea to meet that day.

WORD ^ this is the only worthwhile answer on here

First date he asks me out to McDonalds.

Unfortunately it just isn't that simple. But i suppose i will "bite the bullet" on this one.

It was interesting to me that I couldn't seem to find any laws that were passed on this issue until 1990. Admittedly I only searched the topic for about 15 minutes so i may have to revisit the issue.

Anyhow the law passed in 1990 allowed for the declaration of "gun free" zones. Another passed in 1994 prohibited "juveniles" from possessing and/or selling handguns. Perhaps there were school "rules" established prohibiting weapons.

All the information i seem to come up with shows that school homicides (couldn't seem to single-out "gun" homicides from the rest) directly coincided with the rest of the country which fell dramatically starting in 1993. As a matter of fact it continued to call until about mid 2012. (Interestingly it still remains less then 50% of what it was in the 90's)

So to answer your question, i believe that such a law would do little to curb gun violence in schools or anywhere. It would appear that people were already following this "rule", as parents can all agree that letting your 8 year old take off to school with a loaded gun is wrong. Perhaps this was the point you were trying to make?

And to double the irony, Thomas Jefferson BOUGHT his slaves from Brown men WITH Cotton and Sugar who traded them for Cotton and Sugar from Black men in Africa who likewise had guns to grab up unarmed black men from their own country!

And a NOTEWORTHY TRADER OF HUMAN LIVES... DRUM ROLL...

The East India Trading Company...

And supposedly England had banned slavery in England before we did. Didn't mean they didn't stop human trafficking. Anything to make a buck huh? BTW, wasn't Spain likewise up to their eyeballs in the Slave Trade?

A situation SO ironic it actually has a cold feel to it huh?

Aw hypocrisy....

A whole nuther thread though...

Because a person cannot really see outside of their perspective which is always biased to their understanding of their experiences. It is hard to find a lack of hypocrisy in what people believe or say.

As for the president, you bet he will fail at some of the things he tries to do. Some because even as smart as he is, he cannot see outside of his own personal perspective. For example, he was not in favor of gays marrying when he came into office the first time. Somehow in the process of doing his job, he realized that they should be given all the rights of everyone else. Religion blocked this view for him before that time.\

Getting to universal healthcare is not a feat he is capable of with the ignorance he deals with in congress. So he will fail.

But sometimes the try is what is needed. Several tries and it will get over the wall. President Obama will not do it but it may be done by one of the next presidents of his caliber and more easily because of the change he has brought himself.

Those who turn swords into Plowshares will plow for those who do not!

Welcome to the world of political lobbying! The one place where a minority voice can possibly whine enough to make changes forced on America by UNDUE process!

Closet space has to be filled in, but with what? What do 'woman' fill closet with???
Men have asked themselves the same question for hundreds of years: What do women want? What they never understood was that the answer was right under their nose—shoes. Women have a keen ability to spot a gorgeous pair of shoes on any shelf within a one mile radius.
On the outs with her or hoping to get 'next to her'; easy! Just get her a pair of shoes from Christian Louboutin, available at your local Neiman Marcus or at Sax Fifth Avenue in NYC; or a pair of heels from Gucci, Jimmy Choo, or hey, how about guaranteed triumph with a pair of high heeled boots from Manolo Blahnik! (Only several thousand dollars, but hey, she just might be worth it... )
Other brands to always consider are Versace, Brian Atwwods, Louis Vuittons and hey, besides Pradas, there are Miu Miu's, from Miuccia Prada herself or Fendi's. Basically any combinations of a few pairs will be exactly what any and all women want...they drool just thinking about having any of them....
And only you know if she might be worth the pleasures she will give you in return....Have fun!$$$$$$$$$$$$$

Absolutely correct.

Undoing the ignorance of our constructors is a difficult job for sure

I agree but the NRA did go all out for gun control in the sixties when black folks were having problems and wanted to carry, funny huh?
