LOL I think I know how it will turn out if the gun guys show up armed and the non-gun guys are unarmed....

Do you believe in inalienable rights? Yes. For instance, the inalienable right to health care.

What about food?
Isn't it your inalienable right to eat at someone else's expense too?

It's going to need salt and pepper. And red wine.

i've always thought a bird shot loaded with salt, pepper and a little gran marnier would be genius.

There was a Third Amendment case just recently. Don't be in a hurry to shitcan it just yet.
The cops showed up to deal with someone. They felt as if they needed to enter the neighbor's house to gain some sort of *tactical advantage* over the occupants of the house next-door. The neighbor - not being the problem the cops were there to address - told the cops to "go fly a kite", or something to that effect.
The cops entered his home anyway - setting up gun positions upstairs - and arrested the homeowner for interfering with police.
The homeowner in court exerted his Third Amendment rights against quartering soldiers. And he won. Case dismissed.

The far right and the NRA's shameless misinterpretation of the 2nd amendment is one of our nation's greatest tragedies. Bought and sold by the gun lobby.

The Third Amendment is a good example of the fact that Amendment's, in their entirety, should not be viewed as sacrosanct. Amendments, by definition, are subject to amending. The Second Amendment should remain but sorely needs amending to bring it up to date.

Democrats can have guns?
They CAN, and some do! However, when they sign up as Democrats, one of the things they agree to is to limit themselves to one gun per household, kept locked in a gun safe at all times, and limited to a single-shot, .177 pellet gun that must be pumped 7 times to achieve no more than 500fps.
Pretty hard to engage in mass shootings with such a weapon. Who could need more for any reason?

I am an independant who votes mostly democrat. as much as i want my gun rights I feel it is also critical to have decent health care and not try to turn our country into a 3rd world shithole. i seriously wish the repugs were not such as#@&%es so that i could vote for my gun rights and get decent health care, modern infastructure, fully funded fire and police etc.

I want to throw out a "gun-culture" question to the right people on this thread.
I grew up in Idaho "gun-culture", own a number of firearms, and I am ok with concepts of when I can legally employ them.
Heidi & I had dinner tonight with non-gun friends who are dog owners. During a recent hike on public land, they had five dogs from a nearby landowner attack their dog. With some difficulty, and at major personal risk, they saved their dog from serious injury.
The husband tonight asserted that he wants to buy a firearm, and will shoot dogs that attack his dogs in the future.
I didn't want to take our after-dinner conversation down a notch, but in Idaho, I suspect if you shoot an aggressive dog in front of their armed owner, you are starting a gunfight?
Ok? The question is??
Should you shoot the armed aggressive dog-owner first, or wait for them to draw on you, after shooting his dogs and starting the gunfight?
Part II? If there are other people in the aggressive dog-owners party, should you shoot them all? Is this best done, before or after shooting the aggressive dogs?
Thanks for your thoughts!

Fritz,
Is Idaho infested with lunatics, or something? Why would you worry about something so far-fetched?
Even here in San Bernardino - where people have been shot for wearing the wrong color shirt - shooting an out-of-control dog who's attacking another dog is not socially unacceptable. It's not something you'll get shot yourself for doing.
Unless you're wearing the wrong colored shirt.
