John Guy replied to Eric P.'s discussion Your take on weaponry, arms, ect."Don't believe 90% of the bvllshit the American media reports. Sensationalizing for Liberal opinion and goals is what they are about."
JRobert replied to Eric P.'s discussion Your take on weaponry, arms, ect."The big problem regarding the 'gun control issue' in the United States as I see it.
Lets say %90 of us would agree that we don't want a maniac to be able to walk into a public place and kill a bunch of people, AND we also want to…"
Liam replied to Eric P.'s discussion Your take on weaponry, arms, ect."European martial arts look much the same as their Asia counterparts if you go back far enough. I have several medieval martial art's manuals from Europe and they look like Jujutsu and Karate. Only Okinawa (of the cost of Japan) was effected by…"
Liam S. replied to Eric P.'s discussion Your take on weaponry, arms, ect."
Out of curiosity, where do you derive this? Which federalist papers, or other primary document provides for even one founder, much less a plurality of them to hold this opinion. Or is this your own assumption regarding what they believed? "
Ronaldus Magnus replied to Eric P.'s discussion Your take on weaponry, arms, ect."The opinion of the founders was that every citizen should be armed with a wepon that was at least equal to the same wepon that the soldiers of the greatest military power in the world possessed. At that time it was the British, the…"
Greg Carter replied to Eric P.'s discussion Your take on weaponry, arms, ect."Having popcorn and watching this thread was a great idea. Figured I would throw down the two Canadian pennies in my coin jar and weigh in on the topic.
I have some friends who both hate and/or fear guns, almost to the point of being irrational,…"
Tim Dudenhoefer replied to Eric P.'s discussion Your take on weaponry, arms, ect."How judgmental of you...while implying others are judgemental. DoublePlusUnGood."
Tim Dudenhoefer replied to Eric P.'s discussion Your take on weaponry, arms, ect."While your point is accurate and well stated, actually, they were after both the municipal stockpiles and the individual arms.
My point was more in lines of arguing against the "but, but the Second Amendment is about muskets, or something"…"
Mike Zentz replied to Eric P.'s discussion Your take on weaponry, arms, ect."When seconds count the police are minutes away (and I don't trust the police anymore than any enforcer for any other protection racket).Weapons are tools for both offence and defence, without weapons you are a lamb in a flock of lambs."
Liam S. replied to Eric P.'s discussion Your take on weaponry, arms, ect."As far as I can recall, they were not trying to take muskets away from individuals. They were trying to shut down a larger municipal magazine/armories with cannon, powder and shot stockpiles since he, rightly, feared an armed revolt. The…"
Tim Dudenhoefer replied to Eric P.'s discussion Your take on weaponry, arms, ect."The musket was the "assault weapon" of its time. It was top military technology of the era. So much so that Old King George III, wanted them confiscated as the colonists were getting uppity. We know where that lead.
Oh, and the founders…"
Claude replied to Eric P.'s discussion Your take on weaponry, arms, ect."So much great stuff has been said already, but I'd also like to add this thought. Even people who grow up in countries where its citizens cannot carry guns, so have never had that freedom, should realize how this debate affects them as well.

The Original Cody replied to Eric P.'s discussion Your take on weaponry, arms, ect."I saw this on a t-shirt once... I had to go home and search what the second amendment was to get it.
I got a good chuckle."

Big Bad Moose replied to Eric P.'s discussion Your take on weaponry, arms, ect."Sadly, honour in combat today doesn't exist. What once took every muscle, ounce of energy, and grit in our bodies to kill a man now takes but a few muscles without breaking a sweat or even thinking. A gun, a firearm is tool, much like a hammer…"

- My life goal is to become the possible man I can be. Standing by what I believe in, supporting my family, protecting things and people dear to me and sacrificing myself if needed.
Most people my age I meet cannot relate to me this way and so I don't have anyone to talk to on the matter of manliness.
I have my own code and my definition by differ but I believe there are many different kids of men. Be it poets, warriors, artisans or stay at home fathers, there are different kind of men.
This may sound strange but since my father was usually at the office when I was younger, I found comfort and teachings from different sources. One of these sources though unorthodox and childish was Japanese Manga (comics). The common theme of fighting and protecting what is dear to you such as beliefs, friends and family were drilled into me after many years.
I played American Football for five years during high school and have to say that it truly molded me into who I am. The comradeship, the passion and the struggle all were amazing and those fives seasons were the best of my life.
- Books
- Due the Japanese influence on me, I idolize the Samurai, as such my two favorite books are

First Transformers
- Music
- Sabaton and ManOwaR are my two favorite metal groups
I especially enjoy 80's rock
