Self defense while traveling

et2 - you have misinterpreted my posts to justify your belief that everyone who thinks there should be gun regulations believes that no one should be allowed to have a gun. You are creating arguments where none exist to justify your hatred of people who don't agree with you 100%. Rather than discussing based on the actual points I've made, you have simply attacked me in a non-rational manner accusing me of believing things that I do not believe and have never suggested I believe.

This will be my last response to you for the above reason.

In regards to the Constitution, it is a wonderful thing. It has changed so much in the past 200 years for the entire world. But that doesn't mean it is perfect for eternity. People SHOULD question it, just like they question every other law. People SHOULD look to change it or interpret it differently, just like they do every other law. If it is to be worshipped as it is forever, then it makes no difference what it says - it will cease to be relevant to society and will be abandoned. And I for one do not want to go back to the days where the Constitution meant women and blacks had no rights (yep, those were changes/interpretations/amendments to the Constitution that you seem to think are so terribly wrong).

You said it was your last post before. But it sound like you want to hammer your opinion across. Mine are based on actual constitutional provisions written to govern society.

You started on your very first post in response to the OP about how it's because because gun owners want to get you before you get me attitude. No matter how how far fetched that situation presented itself. Then you proceed to try mock everyone who told you differently.

Let me post your response here for you to see



No, it isn't that dangerous to travel in the US. Many Americans have the "I'm going to get them before they get me" mentality which results in wanting a gun for the rare chance that something could possibly happen at some point in their lives and they need to be prepared for that chance no matter how unlikely it is.

(I'm not being political or mean, but this IS the basic underlying reason why most Americans indicate they want a gun.)


You obviously don't have a clue why people choose to arm themselves "legally", yet felt the need to make the post you did, like it was coming from some superior authority or judgement. You're the judgemental one. I'm just giving facts. You obviously don't have a clue why we have a constitution other than it needs to be changed to serve certain agendas. You come from a family of gun ownership? Then we wouldn't be having this conversation.

For the record, you have every right to speak, so do I. I have a 100% right to own a gun and carry, where am I wrong?
