but the supreme court has not agreed with you or thomas jefferson, apparently. they have allowed the states to regulate handguns and other weapons. they have not overturned a gun regulation of a single state legislature. in fact, they have held that the second amendment forbids a restriction on the right to bear arms by the federal government, but not by the individual states. it's a states' rights argument.

this could all be changing with DC v. Heller. oral arguments were a month or two ago. it seemed as if the court may declare a DC ban on handguns unconstitutional. but a central issue is that the ban is on owning a handgun altogether, not just a limit on carrying one. also, the DC ban doesn't single out assault rifles or a particular gun, it applies to any handgun (obviously, because most crime is committed with a pistol of some sort). i can see the court holding that bans on possession of normal firearms are unconstitutional. but i think the court will continue to allow regulation and restriction on carrying weapons.

what do you think about the word "militia" being in the second amendment? one of DC's arguments is that the second amendment is limited by its own wording. your argument seems to indicate that you would allow individuals to keep and carry any weapon they want. am i right? do you draw a line somewhere between a glock and an ak-47 or a bazooka? </p>

The constitutions of most of our States assert, that all power is inherent in the people; that they may exercise it by themselves, in all cases to which they think themselves competent, (as in electing their functionaries executive and legislative, and deciding by a jury of themselves, in all judiciary cases in which any fact is involved,) or they may act by representatives, freely and equally chosen

that's the whole quote. The second one is good enough that you don't need to mislead and make people think it's referring to guns. Also, if you look, it's talking about the constitutions of STATES, not the country. And Jefferson thought our constitution was lacking in many areas, and his thoughts are not necessarily what the constitution actually meant. Not to mention, Jefferson didn't believe that Jesus was actually the son of God either.

Laws are made for men of ordinary understanding and should, therefore, be construed by the ordinary rules of common sense. Their meaning is not to be sought for in metaphysical subtleties which may make anything mean everything or nothing at pleasure.

the point that was made between me and my friends after the whole incident came to light. From what I can gather, Devine is a local drug dealer, which makes the fact the football players were/are caught up in some "bad blood" with him that much more concerning. At the time of the incident there were some very telling pictures of some of the players involved on facebook that have since been taken down. I'm convinved that happened because a member of this board, not me, emailed some of the coaches alerting them to these pics. I feel bad for these guys and really hate it for the rest of the team, but there are some circumstance surrounding the whole thing that aren't being made public.

So you're telling me someone from the 6pack alerted the coach about this dude?</p>

someone that posts here happened to check the facebook profile of one of the expelled players and saw some pictures that were a bit troubling and alerted at least one of the coaches. This happened about two days after everything became public and the pictures were taken down shortly thereafter.

which would make it the BP over towards Campus Book Mart on the road that runs out to 182. However, that BP on 12 and Montgomery is a pretty shady place too. I have seen that Budweiser car there on more than one occasion.

I am going with 1.
