It was bound to happen. One thing is for sure it is hypocritical to argue for freedom in any other area while sacrificing safety but be for banning guns from citizens (which does nothing to make the streets safer) in the name of safety. -
I never cease to be amazed at how liberals try to argue what the founders meant to say. I have noticed how quickly they abandon such arguments when they realize that it is not a winning hand. Pure and simple- liberals care about what the Founders meant when they see it as a road to victory.
How I wish more Americans truly cared what "they meant". -
You are correct sir.
"They who can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety, deserve neither liberty nor safety."- Benjamin Franklin (1775) -

The same could be said about conservatives, socialists, libertarians, free masons, etc. In some areas their words are vague enough that arguments can be made from many philosophies.
It seems to me the courts have settled enough cases that precedent has been set and the I believe the Supreme Court will rule against Chicago's law.
Would you be willing to follow the Swiss model on guns and gun control? Read below:
-
Burglars used to break in only when no one was home (as they did with me), and they probably didn't carry guns. Now they come in when you and your family are all there, and they too often kill everyone--including the children. No feeling, no remorse, no sense of right and wrong--just a desire to kill for the thrill of killing. -
No thanks. -

Then, do you agree or disagree with Chicago's banning of handgun ownership by private, law-abiding citizens?

Curtis...I'm sure you're right...but I'm trying to make Crabby do something unprecedented: answer a question directly.

Yup. I'd also like to see him answer his own questions. I have no idea how many kids have been killed by "empty" guns, nor can I find stats on "handy" gun crimes. Speculation & conjecture have no place in a discussion about facts.

People who want to ban guns do not really believe in freedom.

I prefer to take my chances with my neighbors than with the government. Freedom is dangerous. The USSR didn't have this problem.
