actually it is, learn proper grammer. the comma seperates the 2 parts and makes them different.
Quote:
Rule 1
To avoid confusion, use commas to separate words and word groups with a series of three or more.
Quote:
Rule 12
Use a comma to separate two strong clauses joined by a coordinating conjunction--and, or, but, for, nor. You can omit the comma if the clauses are both short.
States' rights are a means to an end, a way of making people more free, but states' rights never extend to infringing on protected rights. The second amendment applies to the states as well as the federal government.
I know grammar (and mechanics) very well. I was raised by a grammar teacher, and I was previously employed as an editor of Ph.D dissertations.
And would you do me a favor and learn proper spelling? "Grammer" and "seperates" are not spelled correctly in your post. Also, you misused a comma, didn't capitalize the beginning words of your sentences, and you should write "two," not "2."
I'm sorry, nobody is taking away anybody's second amendment rights. The right to bear arms does not guarantee anybody the right to own military assault rifles and ammo clips enabling the firing of hundred rounds per minute.
Only 4% of gun owners actually belong to the NRA. The NRA represents gun manufacturers. You know, those corporate giants who simply want more & more guns sold. Anybody who thinks that the NRA represents the rights of gun owners shouldn't be trusted with a gun in the first place.
Sure do. Does that mean the state is allowed to destroy part of the constitution?
Only an idiot would claim that regulating firearms is against the constitution. The second amendment itself mentions a well regulated militia. It's an integral part of the second amendment even if you prefer to ignore what the constitution actually says.
And just because a few thousand citizens want Texas to secede (a procedure that is nowhere described in the Constitution and may very well be unconstitutional) doesn't mean the entire state and the people in that state think the same.
1. It wasn't a few thousand it was over 100k. 2. The people are supposed to elect officials who keep their best interest in mind and they would be the ones who vote for secession or not. If the officials can't do their jobs correctly then they need replaced and if a dictator like we have now refuses to accept the will of the people of a certain state then it will be war.

Already covered this. Good thing you read all the replies there kiddo.

whoopee, correcting my grammer problems just shows that you are just plain wrong in your information concerning the 2nd Amendment.
it is really funny that democrats and even some republicans will make sure all grammer is proper in all the other amendments, but when it comes to the 2nd Amendment, they conviently forget the commas in the 2nd Amendment.
how hypocritical alot of people really are.
also i rarely capitalize anything on the forum, and spell check just does wont work for me on this forum for some odd reason, even the built in one.
it just goes to show how iliterate some people are when it comes to the Constitution.
We could restrict the sale of ammo to one hour a week and random times. That would not be messing with your 2nd amendment.
sure, we could restrict your freedom of speech the same way, 1 time a month and only between the hours of midnight and 4am, and only 1 time a month.
that should make you feel good about imiting your civil liberties.
