When the left blocks something it is a representative republic, when the right does it its treason Box the hypocrite failing again.

37 times the Republicans have voted to keep Americans from Health Insurance... and 37 times they have failed. GOP leadership... and only the TeaBaggers are following.

Imagine if boxes arguments were used during the Revolution, the militia and regulars just took a field from the British and 2 cannons were left behind by them, one guy calls for taking the cannons to use for themselves to help the cause but then some whiny person like box makes an argument that they're illegal, orders from King George Yup he would be shot right there
I can't believe he tried the lame argument that Constitutionally protected rights should be authorized and managed like the DMV.

Well you see rights to him are granted by the government thus they can be regulated or completely erased at the stroke of a pen

Um... All rights are Regulated By the Government. Your right of "free speech"... the classic: Your right of free speech does not allow you to yell "FIRE" in a crowded theater. Yup! Rights have always been regulated.
Your "right to bear arms"... As (Very Conservative) Justice Scalia points out:
Quoted Text
~ Like most rights, the Second Amendment right is not unlimited. ~ It is not a right to keep and carry any weapon whatsoever in any manner whatsoever and for whatever purpose: For example, concealed weapons prohibitions have been upheld under the Amendment or state analogues. ~ The Court’s opinion should not be taken to cast doubt on longstanding prohibitions on the possession of firearms by felons and the mentally ill, or laws forbidding the carrying of firearms in sensitive places such as schools and government buildings, or laws imposing conditions and qualifications on the commercial sale of arms. ~ [United States v.] Miller’s holding that the sorts of weapons protected are those “in common use at the time” finds support in the historical tradition of prohibiting the carrying of dangerous and unusual weapons. (Assault Weapons)
You can deny that our "RIGHTS" have always been regulated... but your opinion is just that, your opinion and is relevant to our laws.

Yawn... box brings up Scalia like I give a damn what he says, box might cower to him but I don't, try again box.

Just don't blame "Liberal Activist Judges" for gun laws... Scalia is a Right Winger Conservative... one of your own.

Not one of mine, I don't pay any attention to anyone who thinks they can sign my rights away with a pen, my rights go when I die not a second sooner.

Better to die on your feet a free man then to live life on your knees. Its funny how I live my life, I don't harm anyone, I get along with almost everyone, I don't steal, I respect everyone's rights like I wish they will respect mine. But some like you don't like that because I won't bow down to others, because I won't water my rights down for a false sense of security, how I live is somehow a threat to you and I will never know why. Maybe you need authority over your life and the only way to make you feel better is to drag everyone else down to your level. That may work on others but not me.

Men who are physically strong are more likely to have right wing political views
Weaker men more likely to support welfare state and wealth redistribution Link may reflect psychological traits that evolved in our ancestors Strength was a proxy for ability to defend or acquire resources There is no link between women's physical strength and political views

Men who are strong are more likely to take a right-wing stance, while weaker men support the welfare state, researchers claim. Their study discovered a link between a man’s upper-body strength and their political views.
Scientists from Aarhus University in Denmark collected data on bicep size, socio-economic status and support for economic redistribution from hundreds in America, Argentina and Denmark.
Men with less upper body strength are more likely to support the welfare state - like Labour leader Ed Miliband
But men with low upper-body strength were more likely to put their own self-interest aside and support a welfare state.
The researchers found no link between upper-body strength and redistribution opinions among women.
Professor Michael Petersen said: ‘In all three countries, physically strong males consistently pursued the self-interested position on redistribution.
‘However physically weak males were more reluctant to assert their self-interest – just as if disputes over national policies were a matter of direct physical confrontation between individuals.
‘While many people think of politics as a modern phenomenon, it has, in a sense, always been with our species.
‘Political views are designed by natural selection to function in the conditions recurrent over human evolutionary history.’
The findings were published in the journal Psychological Science.
Professor Petersen added: ‘Many previous studies have shown that people's political views cannot be predicted by standard economic models.

On my knees??? Bow down??? Because you despise your govt, your view of everyone else is distorted. I'm free. I'm happy. I'm generally satisfied with my life, and I respect the rights of others.
If you could just look at the world without that 'anti govt' chip on your shoulder, you might see it's a pretty good time to be an American.

L.I. hostage killed by errant police bullet BY FRANK ELTMAN The Associated Press MINEOLA — A New York college student being held by an armed home intruder was shot and killed by a Nassau County police officer who had responded to a report of a home invasion at an off-campus home, police said Saturday. Andrea Rebello was shot once in the head Friday morning by an officer who opened fire after the masked intruder, Dalton Smith, pointed a gun at the officer while holding the 21-year-old junior in a headlock, Nassau County homicide squad Lt. John Azzata said. The Nassau County police officer fired eight shots at Smith, who has what police have described as an “extensive” criminal background, Azzata said. Smith was hit by seven bullets and died. Rebello was shot once in the head, Azzata said. Nassau County Police Commissioner Thomas Dale said he had traveled to Rebello’s Tarrytown, N.Y., home to explain to Rebello’s parents what happened. Earlier Saturday, police announced that Smith, 30, was wanted on a parole violation related to a first-degree robbery conviction and had an arrest history dating back nearly 15 years. The shooting came just days before the school’s commencement ceremonies, which are scheduled to take place today. A university spokeswoman said Saturday students will be handed white ribbons to wear in memory of Rebello. Rebello was in the two-story home with her twin sister Jessica, another woman and another man when Smith, wearing a ski mask, walked in through an open front door, Azzata said. The intruder allowed the third unidentified woman to leave and collect money from an ATM, and she called 911. Two police officers arriving at the home encountered Smith holding onto Rebello.
