While children need to be taught proper gun handling, just as we teach them about other dangers in our society (water, traffic, electricity, poisons, etc) Guns for pre schoolers 101 is not funny

The point I was trying to make was that every time there is multiple shooting you are certain to get a post on this ng of " if only the victim/everybody had been armed than this tragedy wouldn't of happened". This obvious result of arming all possible victims would be for this 4 yo to be carrying.

If everybody needs guns to defend themselves than everybody should have guns, isn't this Grummans attitude? Why should somebody's age not allow them to be able to defend themself. Come on if this 4 year old had the right training and was carrying he wouldn't be dead today

When you are responsible enough, that age may vary. Here in the states - at least most states the generally accepted age is 21. Some are responsible enough before that age, some are not

Now, if you point is that folks below a certain age are mot eligible to carry firearms....yes..that;s true, much like folks have to be a certain age to drive on public roads. purchase alcohol or tobacco, etc. Has nothing to do with not having the right to defend oneself with a gun though. Kids have successfully defended themselves with firearms from folks breaking into their homes. Again, check the archives.

You have the "right" to bear arms to defend yourself in freedom loving America as long as you fit certain criteria. So the right to bear arms by Americans is a privilege granted by your legislators not an intrinsic right granted by your constitution.

The right to bear arms is not granted by our constitution, it is a natural born right that all free men have and as such, no government can grant or revoke that right. To say otherwise is to deem it a 'priviledge', not a 'right'.

Yes some have had their right to keep/own a gun revoked. These are typically convicted felons. I don't have a problem with revoking the right to own a gun for those that have a propensity to commit a crime or those that use a gun in any criminal activity. Some here would not agree with my belief - I can live (I hope) with that. I think one of our major problems here is that the criminals will always have guns and access to them, gun control only takes guns away from law-abiding citizens. While local governments have had gun buy backs it does little or nothing to remove guns from our streets and from criminals, although those government agency tout huge successes

It was a success;
They bought lots of guns.
Didn't put a decimal of a percent dent in violent crime, or criminal possession/use of firearms, but they did in fact buy some guns.

Grumman-581 - 02 Mar 2008 05:51 GMT > Yes - 1 in 100 adults in prison - it ain't working Part of the issue is that we create more laws and as such, people are violating subject to prison time for laws that didn't used to exist... Part of the issue is the longer mandatory sentences that the judges are forced to hand down... Part of the issue is the belief sets of a certain element of our society (descendents of our pre-1865 guest worker program) who glamorize criminal behavior in their music and 'culture'... Part of the issue is with the young kids today who are stupid enough to immitate the current 'culture' of the descendents of our pre-1865 guest worker program...
On the other hand, every crook killed while committing his crime does not increase the prison population... Thus, to decrease the rate of prison population, one solution would be for more citizens to be armed and willing to enact swift and true justice where appropriate... Some things are worth killing someone over, some things are not... Preventing a robbery, killing, burglary -- yeah, easy choice... Some punk smoking some weed on the street corner -- not worth the cost of the bullet... Some punk trying to get my daughter hooked on drugs -- definitely... After dragging him a couple of miles behind my truck with a chain wrapped around his legs, of course... Some gangbanger trying to "mark his territory" by spraypainting gang markings on the side of a building -- definitely... But I promise that I'll just use a 12-gauge and I'll *try* to just hit the spay can...

Let's take a look at the second http://caselaw.lp.findlaw.com/data/constitution/amendment02/ A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed.
Now, let's take a look at the first http://caselaw.lp.findlaw.com/data/constitution/amendment01/ Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.
So, is it your contention, using the same reasonoing as above, that people do not have freedom of speech as a right but is instead a privilege?
Now, supreme courts have been interrpeting the constitution for some time. Remember though....Plessy v Ferguson, the court ruled that separate but equal as just fine. Brown v Board of education, the court decided differently. In the Kelo decision, they decided that taking away private property from one person to another was ok, so long as the other person would increase the value, and hence raise the tax base...was just dandy. http://caselaw.lp.findlaw.com/data/constitution/amendment05/

Hoplophobes don't want anything less than confiscation.

Just your usual AA derisiveness.
You show it to me, and I'll answer it.

Here's your first post:
"pity the 4 year old hadn't done "Guns for pre schoolers 101" "
And your second:
"mine kids have grown up with and used guns just as they have with motor bikes, tractors, chain saws but they see these things as the tools they are not as some extension of their clitoris. So what."
Just your usual verbal diarrhea.
Here's a LIE you told:
"The point I was trying to make was that every time there is multiple shooting you are certain to get a post on this ng of " if only the victim/everybody had been armed than this tragedy wouldn't of happened". This obvious result of arming all possible victims would be for this 4 yo to be carrying."
You're getting more and more like Futile John every day, making wild claims about what you (never) posted, and attributing rediculous crap based in your terror to other people.
I cited the entire posts below, so you can't claim, as Futile always does, that they were re-written or "edited".

Wooowwww.
You need a catscan as bad as your master.
First you -say- you said:
"Lets get down to the point of my original post. At what age do you think people should be able to carry weapons to defend themselves?"
-Then- you say you said:
"wrong as always. That was the point of my original post to point out that if people have the right to carry arms for personal protection and it works than surely this 4 year old should have been carrying to stop this tragedy "
EVEN THOUGH it's clearly different in the same post!
How Futile is -that--??
But what's funny is it's -still- not what you originally said!!
Stupendous.

At what age do you think > people should be able to carry weapons to defend themselves? answer in previous post, and discussed ad nauseum over the years. The legal age in most states is 21 - some may have others. Age really isn't the factor it is responsibility, safety, and gun training. That varies from person to person - sometimes it works - sometimes it doesn't, kind of similar to a driver's license
