Ice-T
-
Check out the reaction of the interviewer Krishnan Guru-Murthy with Ice T's response. sounds like he didn't get the answer he was searching for.
Ice-T: Well, I'll give up my gun when everybody does. Doesn't that make sense? If there were guns here, would you want to be the only person without one?
Krishnan Guru-Murthy, anchor, Channel 4 News: So do you carry guns routinely at home?
Ice-T: Yeah, it's legal in the United States. It's part of our Constitution. You know, the right to bear arms is because that's the last form of defense against tyranny. Not to hunt. It's to protect yourself from the police.
Anchor: And do you see any link between that and these sorts of incidents (Aurora)?
Ice-T: No. Nah. Not really really. You know what I'm saying, if somebody wants to kill people, you know, they don't need a gun to do it.
Anchor: It makes it easier though, doesn't it?
Ice-T: Not really. You can strap explosives on your body, they do that all the time.
On anti-gun laws: "That's not going to change anything. The United States is based on guns, you know."

Well if Ice T said it
-
Well if Ice T said it
But he is right in that it's the basis of the right to bear arms.
the founders didn't trust the ruling class so they decided the population should be able to revolt.
That particular right has long since been taken away for better or worse.

Well good thing nothing has changed in 200 years...
And if you must "revolt" do it with pistols, not AKs
-
Maybe that's why Obamao wants 30,000 drones patrolling our skies.
So he can declare war on anybody who doesn't have the number, and who try to protect our Constitution from
being overthrown by him and the UN.....
financed by spooky dude Soros.
Really scary stuff. @@

Just pointing out the fact that it's time toSTFU about our rights.
Left or right admit it kiddies, the constitution and bill of rights are archaic.

Sorry, Steve, but you are "kiddieing" yourself.
Our Constitution and Bill of Rights are timeless, and worth fighting for.
What other country has become a great nation in such a short time?
None. Not one. And our country did it with our Constitution and our Bill of Rights
as not only a guide, but an engine to the future, with our rights intact.
In worldly terms, they aren't even old.
"Don't Tread on Me" is an old admonition. But it's hardly "archaic".
Millions and millions of Americans believe that. Our freedom guarantees
are outdated?
Nope. Never, ever going to be. And if our Constitution and Bill of Rights is ever "cancelled"?
Not allowed to happen. "kickass" isn't archaic either. That's what our patriot freedom fighters did ...
and what we are allowed to do too, as a last resort, to protect ourselves from the ultimate tyranny.

I think cal is on a little too much if a patriotism high...
-
With all due respect, you're wrong Cal.
Oh the constitution may have certainly been a cool thing in its day but the rights are gone.
While we are allowed to have some handguns and some weapons usually up to the task of hunting gophers The government forces have enough firepower to destroy a nation.
When washington and his pals mutinied against the kings forses they had pretty much the same weaponry.
Let's not pretend that the people could mount an effective insurgence in this day and age.
Just take the bill of rights.
Pick any of those rights and tell me that it hasn't been diluted to the point of a slogan.

After a very few years those in power learned how much fun it was to squeeze a few more tax dollars out of the great unwashed.
Remember the whiskey rebellion?

Oh and it's better that whatever political ideology that isn't in power talk about saving up guns and ammo and fighting the government for their rights and there being scary times ahead etc etc
Sure, my post may not be the actual way things always work, but it's better than Cal's "fantasy," land.

The Constitution and the Bill of Rights is still in effect and reigns over all, it is the law of the land.
Progressive liberals have masturbated the definitions over the last century and if some had it their way they would trash it and burn it. If you ask a prog if the ends justify the means I am sure they would agree whole heartedly.
Case and point just look at how many people will vote for a politician who pledges to bring them free shit. These same people will vote away our rights in the name of so called fairness. If you have read the Constitution you will know that in the beginning it states
We the People of the United States, in Order to form a more perfect Union, establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defence, promote the general Welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America.
So why would you want to discard this important document? Is it in your view that some people should have more special rights than others? Lets say minorities, are they more important in your view than the average Joe? some people believe that is true and that they need to be lifted up.
We still have dummies who have been brought up believing that we are a democratic nation when in fact we are a republic. Maybe you guys should stop listening to the main stream and go back and educate yourselves before you start making statements that are not true. You can start HERE

Wow your point of view is disturbing.
-
Yeah
it's much better to think that this document created hundreds of years ago still applies perfectly to our life today.
Even though it can be amended and us supposed to be, let's not do that
Let's pretend muskets are the pinnacle of gun tech and the Internet doesn't exist.
I mean hell if you can believe the Bible this is child's play
(yep, I had to take a shot at the Bible)

well I mean after all they were using state of the art weapons at the time military grade everything. But what about those silly rights like the ability to say as you wish, freedom of the press all of those are out of date too, right? come on the point is silly if the document is out of date then all of it is.
Just admit you don't like guns rather than trying to jam your viewpoint down everyone elses throat. the left really cries about the right doing it with abortion and gay rights so why does that argument not apply here?
-
The Soviets had superior weapons in Afghanistan.
The Germans had superior weapons all over - read up on the French Resistance.
You don't EVER want to be the UN and try to come in and take our little old shotguns, rifles and pistols, and our Constitution and Bill of Rights
in our U.S.A.
Or, UN, we will toss skunks into your tanks and cockpits. We'll torture the tires of your jeeps with cigarette lighters and pen knives.
We'll stuff cowpoop up the mufflers of your cars. We'll dig ditches across your runways. We'll pee in your blue foreign helmets....
We'll toss ticks into your sleeping bags and tents. We'll put sugar into your UN truck gas tanks.....
We'll turn all our stereoes up on the street and play Madonna music at ear piecing levels until you run for your lives to Mexico or some other country overseas.
And, UN, we will make you cry and sneeze in your direction until you run for your sanity.
Don't Tread on Us.

There is no good reason to keep gays from getting married
Same with abortion up to a point
No one wants to take all of the guns, just the ridiculous ones no one needs
What crazy world do you live in where if I say part of the constitution is out if date that means ALL of it is. Slippery slope arguments are stupid. Even if we rewrote the whole thing those rights and freedoms would return. Others would be updated for the 21st century. Idk how you can think everything I'm that document is timeless...
