Hmm, I only became a resident of South Carolina in Sep 1987, so why dont you
answer the question again.

and if the legislature passed a resolution terminating your US Citizenship, I
would support that as well.

and the incident that sparked this discussion took place in Pennsylvania, so
why bring up states unrelated?

 RC>> http://tinyurl.com/dz5asz

Then why didnt you acknowledge this when you took the dig at me and the state I
live in?

Your message would have carried more fiber had you posted a top 10 or worst
10..

 LL> Once upon a time I was a Democrat.

You still are

 LL> Once upon a time I was a Repubican.
 LL> Once upon a time I was an Independent.

You never were.

 LL> I know longer know what the hell I am or happen to be.

I do but I aint telling.

 RC>> However if it makes you feel good, I dont own a gun, nor

If the constitution allows it so be it, if you dont like the 2nd ammendment,
then renouce your citizenship and leave.

Should we outlaw knives, hammers and baseball bats?

Tell me Lee, did we really land men on the moon?
