So my question about how many Uzi deaths annually makes sense.

Are not all firearms designed to cause death? Same with bow and arrows. As you get rid of the alleged most dangerous one another immediately takes the title. So since one death is to many you have to ban them all.
I am not advocating Uzi for everyone or even anyone. I am trying to understand your position.

Oh boy, we've been round that one before. And NYCTwister and others including myself have explained that numerous times, most recently in the post immediately preceding yours. If you don't get it, you don't get it.

Well, it was a rhetorical question. That means I get it, but I don't agree. Moreover, I sincerely doubt that all of my points are understood. So there.

I like the second amendment, as I've stated more than once. I just have a problem with some peoples interpretating it to mean that all citizens have the right to possess any weapon. The bill of rights was written over 200 years ago, during a time period when an average citizen might be called to serve in a militia. Does that sound like what we have today? Do you think that something written that long ago, should not be re-examined in light of what we've invented? What was state of the art weaponry then? A single shot musket? Btw, what you think about the 2nd amendment does matter in this context, since that's what we're talking about. Yes I do take positions. You should try it sometime. If not then why participatein ANY discussion?

Would you like your freedom of speech re examined? Search and seizure? Right to trial? Because they were all written contemporaneously so according to your theory they all need to be re examined.

They pertain to concepts that have not changed. The 2nd amendment needs to be clarified in light of todays society. What exactly is your position on this ONE topic? Can you state it clearly? You keep telling me why you think I'm wrong, and you keep telling me what other people didn't say, but you never seem to say what you think. Why is that?

Here is the question in its whole context not a few cherry picked words as you quoted: Just curious. Do you do anything for enjoyment that requires manual dexterity? If so you may understand the attraction of becoming proficient with a firearm. Do you shoot darts, bowl, play any sports? I am an extremely competitive person and always have been. I love to compete. Be it sports, cards or obviously competitive shooting with all sorts of firearms. While you may find that deranged I can only say I HAVE A LOT OF COMPANY. I do it because I enjoy it. If I did not enjoy it I would simply Refrain from doing it but I surely would not tell others they cannot do it or should not do it. Take notice I used CAPS in what you quoted of the whole text. You must really believe people here have short memories and you are the only with with any grey matter. Which just shows now naïve you really are. Or you are a youngster that has not yet grown up. I don't know which. But it is definitely one or the other.

In the context of this thread, check the one about 43 seconds in. Not sure how the video recorder guy escaped injury there.

Btw, cherry picking is necessary when dealing with you since you say so little worth responding to.

Same stunted myopic logic you use could be used to say the Founding Fathers never conceived of the internet so lets do the first over. Killing 3,000 people at a time is fairly new so lets take away a 6th amendment right as well as a fourth. All possible with that same silly logic. And for what? Your alleged security? Still waiting to see how many of 310 million people every year are gunned down by an Uzi attack. But you will feel good if that one weapon is banned. That is all that counts is you feeling good. Now you won't go after any other firearm you deem too dangerous just that particular one. We believe that? My position on the matter is I am happy with my rights. All of them. I am unhappy with the infringement upon them which began at a much more shocking pace after 9/11 in the name of security and safety. It has not abated. I am unhappy with the government using excuses like security and safety to erode our rignts. I do not wish to give them an inch for they will take a mile. My position is not second amendment specific as yours is. It has to do with all the bill of rignts. So tell me exactly now many firearms you would like to ban. Easy question. Also still curious as to how many Uzi related deaths there are a year accidental or otherwise. Sorry if I did not cover just one topic there and overloaded you. But since my position encompasses the entire bill of rights I felt for the sake of context and clarity to mention a few.

Or do you need to say them to make yourself feel better. That is all that matters to you, isn't it? Second, YOUR myopic logic about the 1st and 6th amendments hold no water. I never said that should be redone. I said there is nothing wrong with examing anything and correcting ones course in light of new developements. What's wrong with that? The first amendment protects all free speech, the internet included. The 6th doesn't apply to 9/11 since it was a war crime imo. Do you think that the founding fathers were gods, incapable of error? They themselves said they weren't and that we should always think for ourselves. Third, I would ban all automatic weapons not just Uzis. No citizen needs one. No one here has told me why one would. Will this lead to a further so-called erosion of rights? Maybe. Your contention that it would definately lead to that is your opinion. I find your "not one more inch" statement to be interesting. Perhaps the threat I spoke of in question number two is our own government? Is that what you're thinking? If such a situation should arise do you really think that more weapons would be the solution. As far as how many deaths are caused by automatic weapons? I don't know. Perhaps we should ask the victims of the mass shootings we never had before they were avilable. Could those things have happened anyway? Maybe, but they would have probably been far less devestating. Not to mention the fact that the lunatics would perpetrated those acts would have thought twice if they didn't have access to those weapons. They were cowards after all.
