Ärende: Lax Gun Regulations
===========================
Hello Ross,

>RC>and how are those laws exactly my fault?

>LL>By letting it happen.  IOW, giving tacit approval to what
>LL>your state legislature has done.

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

>LL>Laziness is no excuse.  After all, you've had over twenty
>LL>years to work on it.  And you've done nothing so far.

RC>and you know this because?

Your stated opposition to gun control legislation.

RC>I have exchanged emails with the Governor before.
RC>(not the current one, but the one before)

I have actually MET governors before.  Not the present Governor
Toto (Bobby Jindal's new nickname), but several others (both Democrat
and Republican).

RC>He was a Democrat and I was asking about the possiblity of
RC>dropping the sales tax on grocery.. He was very reluctant..

Governor Toto did away with the sales tax exemption on groceries
(part of the Stelly Plan).

RC>No worry, his Republican successor got it done.

In Louisiana we do things different.  Governor Blanco (a Democrat) did
away with the sales tax on groceries.  Governor Toto (a Republican) did
away with the sales tax exemption on groceries.

RC>I can understand taxing food one buys in a restaurant,
RC>"eating out" is not a golden necessity of life, but to tax
RC>food one buys for the home, food one needs to live off of,
RC>ridiculous.

It is even more ridiculous to have a sales tax on prescription drugs.

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

>LL>Such an act would have no bearing on me.  Even if I was a resident
>LL>of South Carolina.

RC>Many resolutions carry no weight.

Like your silly resolution to strip American citizens of their
citizenship.

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

>LL>We have 50 states,

RC>No shit sherlock.

51, if you count D.C. (the Congress just passed legislation granting
D.C. representation).  Maybe Jesse Jackson will finally get his wish
to be a U.S. Congressman.

>LL>each of those states having their own gun laws.
>LL>Some states, such as South Carolina, have very weak gun laws.  Other
>LL>states, such as California, have much stronger gun laws.  But no state
>LL>has adequate gun laws.  And that includes the state of Pennsylvania.

RC>Then to strengthen your case, you should have showcased Pennsylvania's
RC>laws.

Those laws are showcased on the same cite noted.

>LL>I know [no] longer know what the hell I am or happen to be.

>RC>I do but I aint telling.

>LL>Bobby Jindal is Kenneth the Page.  Not me.

RC>Bobby Jindal is your problem not mine, you didnt do enough
RC>to keep him from office.

Like it or not, Bobby Jindal is the choice of the American people.
Same as Barack Obama and all other elected public officials.  Well,
the vast majority of them, given a small number of them got temporary
appointments.

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

>LL>The 2nd Amendment does not give individuals an absolute right to keep
>LL>and bear arms.  While it is true the amendment is poorly worded and
>LL>should be repealed, it is not true that it means what you want it to
>LL>mean.

RC>Then it is fair to say that the same document doesnt
RC>specifically mandate separation of church and state.

Why should it?

RC>You and I can both name USSC rulings that read shit into
RC>the document not specifically there. Roe V Wade et al.

Roe v Wade is not legislation.  It is a USSC opinion.
The judicial branch merely interprets the law, but does
not make the law.

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

>LL>Nah.  The little green men from Mars got there first.

RC>Tell us about Aircraft Carriers in the Persian Gulf?

You are the one who made the false claim that modern aircraft
carriers could routinely traverse the Strait of Hormuz prior to
the navigational channel dredged during the first Persian Gulf
War.
