It seems you have failed to remember Waco and Ruby Ridge where Clinton trying to appease his tree hugging friends clearly went over the line! People have the right to bear arms but not have banned or unregistered weapons. As for passing judgement because of a name! We earned that right 9/11/01. These people were clearly not upstanding people or we would not even be discussing this. Janet Reno violated more civil rights than anyone in recent history yet you fail to mention this.

Ruby Ridge occurred in Aug. 1992, not including the ATF setup sting which started in 1989. Clinton wasn't inaugurated until Jan. 1993.

Bush I was president in the 1989-1992 timeframe.

It seems you might be interested in reading George Bush: the Unauthorized Biography if you haven't already.

Please tell me which infringements of the right to keep and bear arms are not allowed? I challenge you to describe any limits that remain under present policies.

People have the right to bear arms but not have banned or unregistered weapons.

Hmmmm....where do you get that? I haven't read that anywhere in the Constitution. Explain please, if you will.

People have the right to bear arms but not have banned or unregistered weapons.

The very notion of "banned weapons" and "registered weapons" probably sets the founding fathers to spinning in their graves. What part of "right of the people" and "shall not be infringed" is so hard to understand?

Get yer facts straight: Randy Weaver's family, friend and also a federal agent were killed during Bushie the First's reign(Aug 1992), not Clintoon.

People have the right to bear arms but not have banned or unregistered weapons.

If the government were to ban all firearms that could fire anything more powerful than a .22 CB cap, and required a $1,000 registration fee even for those, would that be or would that not be an infringement on people's right to keep and bear arms?

"People have the right to bear arms but not have banned or unregistered weapons."

Where in the 2nd Amendment does it say that you are not allowed to own an "Assault Weapon", machine gun, etc.? The 2nd Amendment superscedes all gun control/bans/laws making them unconstitutional.

I agree about Janet Reno, but your making the above statement only helps her cause. After all, gun control/bans/laws are violations of civil rights.

So you are saying I don't have the right to buy a rifle or a shotgun in a private sale from a friend?

Too bad, and that's even legal here.

Ruby Ridge was under Pres. Bush, the First - not Clinton.

What do you mean "unregistered" weapons ?
