LOL! Also up to about 1903, militia aged men were required to have a gun and ammo (though where they were to get it was not specified).
Great point!!! I often wonder what the campus in Virgina that day would have been like if the teacher had a gun.
I'm all for gun rights but I'll be darned if I'll support a mandate that all libs have one........that just scarey!
I am the first FReeper to declare the universal right to quality sex care. Sex is a basic human need, much like food and health care.
We are a rich nation. How can we deny the sexually deprived this basic human need? It’s not my fault I was born less handsome. Can I help it if I came up short in life’s lottery?
No! The beautiful and sexy people have an unfair advantage. For them, quality sex care is easily obtained. Average people are unfairly disadvantaged. Therefore, let the IRS collect a Beauty Surcharge, the proceeds of which can go to pay for quality sex care for the rest of us.
Like Gun Care, sex is a fundamental human right. If we are too poor or too ugly to obtain it on our own, it’s only fair that government provide it.
I know some of you will say Quality Sex Care is unconstitutional. Not so! The 16th Amendment gives government the right to confiscate income in any manner it sees fit. The General Welfare Clause gives government the mandate to provide for...well...general welfare. What’s more basic to general welfare than good sex?
Congress recently passed government health care. Bravo! Now we have the right to Viagra. However, I submit it’s cruel and unusual punishment (a violation of the US Constitution) to provide Viagra without also providing the means to use it.
Therefore, my fellow FReepers, join with me today to demand our right to quality sex care. Call your congressman now!
That is miniscule compared to the number senior Americans who will die each year from denied treatment. The criminals/gang/collectivists/statists/totalitarians win again. Our money, our guns, our life. All is at risk.
(...and I didn't even mention those Americans killed in the womb by the likes of B.S. - Baby-Stabbing Stupak.)
Do you see the picture M. Allen Fritsch?
So, if you already own many guns but not a government mandated one, do you still qualify for some type of government subsidy to buy another one?
This puts the healthcare reform in a good light. I think we should all be for universal gun ownership.
As long as we’re going to have tax credits for firearms, they should be good ones, so we can afford Ed Browns and LWRCs. :)
