Right to bear arms

Off-topic
1

I have to do a huge research paper for my english class on a controversial issue. I chose The Right to Bear Arms, the second amenment of the constitution. This is the second amenment:

A well regulated militia being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the People to keep and bear arms, shall not be infringed.

There is a lot of controversy over whether civilians should be able to own guns. I need some good arguments for my paper going either way. Don’t worry, I’ll quote you if I use your words :slight_smile:

Check out the Black Panthers.

Guns don’t kill people, death kills people.

4

I give this thread less than a page before it gets threadjacked to a guns vs. no guns debate for the next three months.

5

And that’s being conservative.

6

Stop talking about the thread dying, talk about the right to bear arms!!!

7

I have the right to bear arms. Two of them. A left and right. But I mostly use the right. I only keep the left around for a) balancing while uniing and b) to look symmetrical.

8

The fact that this thread is about the right to bear arms is what will kill it. So obviously the right to bare arms kills things.

9

Moral of the story: don’t wear t-shirts.

10

Unless you are a seriously hott chick and the t-shirt is wet.

11

:smiley: Me like that :smiley:

12

Like, these bear arms?

ROAR!

13

How is that better than not wearing a shirt if you are a seriously hott chick?

14

That’s what I’m wondering. I think Sam’s gay or something.

15

I meant “don’t wear t-shirts in favor of long sleeved shirts”. Not “Don’t wear anything on your torso”.

16

I still like Nick’s idea better.

17

For the love of god! How did a discussion about the 2nd amenment become T-shirt debate?!

18

It didn’t become a t-shirt debate…it started that way. There was never any discussion of the 2nd amendment. :stuck_out_tongue:

19

Because Nick can’t spell. :smiley:

Sorry.

Supreme Court Cases

Pro/Anti gun control arguments.

Just a fair warning, I haven’t read either of those, so I dunno how good they are…I just googled some stuff to try and help.

Good luck.
