the issue is the language of the second amendment. (the punctuation doesn't help). But the main problem is what constitutes a well regulated militia. the pro-gun lobby interprets this to mean anyone can have a gun as they may at any stage need to form a well regulated militia to argue with the forces that have taken over government.
The anti gun lobby says that this means that well regulated militia means the government run services(i.e. army, navy, police air force etc).

This sentence along with the fact that America is a republic and not a democracy have provided hundreds of years of work and after dinner conversation for constitutional lawyers in the good old U.S of A.

(don't get them started, they won't even buy their round...)

by the way the ccrkba believe that the recent illinois shooting is another example of why thes "gun free zones" don't work

QuoteIllinois lawmakers and anti-gun rights extremists should start explaining right now why they have consistently and systematically resisted progressive, sensible changes in state gun laws that would give people a fighting chance against this kind of outrage, Advocates of gun-free zones across the country should be held accountable for defending these areas of victim disarmament. These are places where violent criminals and crazies know they will face no resistance as they carry out their rampages.

unfortunately nothing in the quote about the crazies who might have been carrying guns to class for "self defense"

Any thoughts on the Clemens affair.

To my mind he's ties himself in knots. the points below combine to swing it for me

  • Andy Petit says Clemens said he did it
  • he has messed up dates consistently in his story (ies)
  • Why would he tell the truth about the other 59 names and then just add Clemens his big mate
  • Clemens' wife took HGH
  • McNamee has the syringes and swabs which he has handed over
  • The abscess in his ass is consistent with steroid injection - no recorded cases of it happening with b12 ever

I think he's going to have to cop to it, though he seems like he's ready to brass it out...

there seems to be a fair bit of confusion here, the issue as it exists in English law now, states that in a dispute an agreed upon third party can mediate in a dispute and their resolution is legally binding. Muslim and Jewish law are used in this circumstance in many parts of the UK. However this is not saying that Sharia law will be applied over common law.

Now that Dowie has been sacked by Coventry, do you think there's a shot at him getting the nod ahead of Trappatoni?

for those of you debating the merits of whether gay couples can adopt or not, did you know that straight couples in the North can't adopt either, unless of course they happen to be married to each other at the time of the adoption.
